Guilty Pleasure Movies

Barefoot in the Park, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.

I don't know if it was considered a good movie or not, but I got a kick out of Redford and Mildred Natwick, who played the mother.
 

"City Slickers" (parts 1 & 2)
"As Good As It Gets" & "The Shining"
"Boyz 'N The Hood"
"Trains, Planes & Automobiles"
More, but too many more.
 
Just watched the following scene from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". If this doesn't make you laugh, please check to see if your heart is beating.

 
A bad movie that is still BAD is, "Howard the Duck" Movies with poor reviews like "Tommy Boy", "Miss Congeniality" or "How to lose a guy in 10 days" are like cold pizza the next day Good! Dumb movies like, Dumb and Dumber, Airplane, History of the World, Blazing Saddles, Napoleon Dynamite are so bad they are good. Now a movie that got better from the 1967 version to the 2005 release was Mel Brooks "The Producer" The first was a little slow and lacking IMO but Matthew and Nathan took it to the next level. And who knew that Matthew could sing. And if you like Matthew Broderick then watch "Tower Heist" or "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" both good. All Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, John Candy, and other SNL actors and Jerry Lewis movies I will watch stupid or not if on the TV. Last but not least, the best movie of all times IMO with the best classic lines by 3 very good actors was and still is "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...
 
Yes, another guilty pleasure movie.

“The Fan” (1981)
Lauren Bacall, James Garner, Maureen Stapleton

Stalker/slasher movie. Bacall plays an aging movie/broadway star with an obsessive admirer. Ho hum. He bombards her with notes typed on a manual typewriter saying things like “I despise desperate, pathetic people who intrude on your privacy”. REALLY?? :lofl: James Garner is her ex-husband.

Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I liked the Marvin Hamlisch (RIP) musical numbers.

(This movie is not to be confused with “The Fan” (1996) with Robert DeNiro stalking baseball player Wesley Snipes.) pheww….pinch nose.

For some reason, when I'm feeling really crappy I'll watch The Bird Cage with Robin Williams. It's so ridiculous I end up feeling better.

I know -- the whole thing is just hysterical -- LOVE the part where Robin Williams is trying to teach Albert to eat toast like a guy and walk like John Wayne! And Agador-- too funny for words. Every time I watch that movie I go around humming "We Are Family" for a few days.

Yes, he did.

"The Dummy" - and the dummy's name was Willie.

Not to be confused with "Caesar and Me", another episode with Jackie Cooper as a ventriloquist, and the dummy's name was Little Caesar.



Yeah, I carry this kind of stuff around in my head, but can't remember my phone number. :(

Haven't thought about Jackie Cooper in years. Didn't he have a program where he had a basset hound? Or am I mixing him up with someone else?
 
I can't resist this as my first post...

Zulu (best war movie ever IMO, Michael Caine's first starring role) King Solomon's Mines (1950 version, Stewart Granger as the Big White Hunter, terrific adventure) The Big Country (wonderful Western with the incomparable Burl Ives, who won an Oscar) Lover Come Back (who can resist a Doris Day/Rock Hudson romantic comedy) Overboard (Goldie and Kurt were great together in a modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew) And, more recently, The Martian (Matt Damon should have gotten the Oscar but even he said it was overdue for Leo to win, which he did for The Revenant) John Wick (hyper violent but the guy IS a hit man *SPOILER, STOP READING NOW IF YOU PLAN TO SEE IT* (and they did kill his dog) My husband thinks I'm weird because I don't like "chick flicks" but I will admit to being partial to Miss Congeniality and The Proposal because I love Sandra Bullock.
 
Mr. Peabody & The Mermaid (my favorite since childhood)
Independence Day
Coming To America
Running Scared (with Billy Crystal & Gregory Hines)
One Touch Of Venus
The original King & I
I fully intend to watch Avatar again. Saw it in the movies twice and bought the video. Ironically, I wasn't even interested in seeing the movie at first. I have all of the others on DVD as well.
I watched a couple of B movies on Netflix that were actually pretty good. One was the very campy Big Ass Spider and the other was Spiders.
 
Rustlers Rhapsody is my "guilty pleasure" and a movie that never seems to get old. A cast of some major stars, Todd Beranger, Andy Griffith, Sela Ward, Mary Lou Henner, Patrick Wayne, G.W. Bailey, Fernando Rey, and more, star in this hilarious old western that takes place in the era of transition when the bad guys start shooting back at the singing cowboys. Well worth buying, in my opinion! Here is the trailer:
 
I can't believe nobody mentioned Dr. Strangelove....one of my top three...
Animal house....international House from 1933, [FONT=&quot]Starring: Cab Calloway, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Rudy Vallee, W.C. Fields

Resurrecting this fun thread...😀

I plead guilty.
Just watched the scene in Valley of the Dolls where Tony sings to Jennifer (Sharon Tate) in the nightclub.
Be still my heart....😍
