Sometimes they’re so bad they’re good. Sometimes they were box office hits (but not always). But for me these are irresistible and I'll watch them over and over.

Valley of the Dolls – 1967
The original one with Patty Duke, Sharon Tate, Barbara Parkins. One of my favorites.

Fatal Attraction – 1987
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched it.

The Oscar – 1966
This one is so bad it’s delicious. Stephen Boyd (redefined the expression “chiseled features”), Tony Bennett, Jill St. John, Tony Bennett.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High – 1982
Loved Sean Penn/Spicoli and teacher Ray Walston in the pizza scene..

Stripes – 1981
Was Bill Murray ever that young? (Was I?)

Caddyshack – 1980
I miss Rodney Dangerfield.

Airplane! - 1980
Too many great cameos/scenes to list. Hilarious!

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective - 1994
Jim Carrey had me in stitches.
 

The Wall (Pink Floyd)

A Clockwork Orange (it's all about the ultra-violence)

March of the Wooden Soldiers (silly, yes, but it's from my childhood)
 
A little off topic, but I remember my first movie. Mom took me to see the newly released Walt Disney movie, Bambi. I remember sobbing like a baby when Bambi's mother, Felice, I think was her name, was killed.

The Airplane series was one of my favorites and any movie Leslie, I forgot his name, was in.

Leslie Nielsen. Very funny movie.
 
I watched Airplane! couple days ago, and I've started watching The Naked Gun. Leslie Nielsen was hilarious!

Another one - "The Out of Towners" (1970) with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis always has me laughing. :) (Didn't like the remake with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn)


"Anatomy of a Seduction" (1979 TV movie) - Susan Flannery, Rita Moreno, Jameson Parker - A lonely, attractive, 40-something architect hires her best friend's son as a college intern and they fall in love. The fur hits the fan when best friend finds out. I actually liked this sappy movie!

The wife has a nasty habit of picking apart anything with The Duke, Clint Eastwood or Rambo is in, she goes into gimble lock when I get wrapped up in a Bourne rerun or rewatch 'Taken'. But thanks to the 'Women in trouble channel', (Lifetime) or a stop at 'Hallmark' I have my opposing argument.

It's hard to find fault with any movie Jeff Bridges is connected with, especially 'The Big Lebowski'. He plays a believable villian or hero, can do comedy or drama with the best of them.

;)

Bet wife would like another 2:

"Play Misty for Me" (btw Clint Eastwood is in that. Reminds me of "Fatal Attraction")
"Deadbolt" - Medical student Justine Bateman rents a room to a psycho who imprisons her
 
Gone With The Wind - I will keep watching it over and over.Heat - Love a good action movie.
Rosemary's Baby - Probably about the second or third movie I saw when I was young in Nursing School. I was so busy and so poor that every movie made a lasting impression on me.
 
apple - Every man in America only needed to see 'Fatal Attraction' once and only once, but we all stored it into our memory for further reference. Other than the little blond haired girl who was with her parents buying apricots from my mother, Doris Day was my first love, I still watch 'Pillow Talk'.

Georgia - I liked GWTW and watch it occasionally, a side note, read somewhere Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh hated each other so much that he would eat garlic before every love scene.

April - Troy, couldn't have been done without Brad Pitt, I think he is a better actor than even his good looks afford him.

I remember all the discussion about this movie. Sure, it had a message for married men. But I felt there was also a message for single women about getting involved with a married man (regardless of who pursued/flirted with who). The message: Don’t do it. His attention might boost your ego, and it might seem like harmless fun, but there is a 99.99% chance you will get hurt and your head will be messed up for a long time, if people find out your reputation will be branded forever, and your married girlfriends won’t trust you anymore. It will not end well. (and...if he cheats on his wife he will probably cheat on you)

I agree, it was his acting and personality that first drew me in, the looks were a big sustaining bonus, before 12 Monkey's he was just another pretty face as far as I was concerned. I didn't even care to hear mention of his name especially after seeing what he did to poor Thelma in "Thelma and Louise." Well what he did after anyway. :D
 
(Sir) Anthony Hopkins – There is a 1978 movie called “Magic” he made with Ann Margret. I really liked it! He plays a disturbed ventriloquist with a creepy wooden dummy. (Of course, he later went on to do many better movies…..paging Hannibal Lecter) ;)

Two of my favorite Brad Pitt movies, Snatch & True Romance.
 
"Modern Romance" with Albert Brooks is both funny and exhausting to watch. He plays a very insecure guy who constantly breaks up/makes up with his girlfriend.
