Heartofice Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Bloodsport is the one that comes to mind when anyone asks this question. It's so utterly hilariously bad but at the same time I cannot switch it off. I think Inner Space is probably a pretty bad movie, but then it has Martin Short and Dennis Quaid being very good, so is it bad? Either way I love it and will watch when on. Day After Tomorrow though is so insulting stupid that I derive no pleasure from it. I hated it when it came out, I hate it now. I hate everything Emmerich every did!

I mean, if you watch it with the belief that Andy actually was guilty of murder and that he actually a sociopath who's trying to escape, that helps a little...but overall, I still don't get the appeal.

This might help:https://screenrant.com/shawshank-redemption-imdb-top-best-rated-movie-reason/#:~:text=Most importantly%2C The Shawshank Redemption,and enthrall in equal measure. Quote In an industry where opinion is constantly shifting, why does The Shawshank Redemption continue to court such passionate mass appeal? Most importantly, The Shawshank Redemption is a roaring artistic success on every level. Not only do the performance of Freeman and Robbins rank among the best of all time, but Shawshank is filled with brilliantly realized supporting characters who surprise and enthrall in equal measure. Despite being largely set in a less-than glamorous prison environment, The Shawshank Redemption offers fantastic visuals from Darabont and legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins. The character-driven story has a natural dynamism, allowing the audience the float along with Andy and Red's story during the uplifting moments, but bringing viewers to the edges of their seats during the intense, darker sequences.

Teng Ai Hui Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Reality shows are my guilty pleasure. Some of the lesser embarrassing ones that I really like are The Amazing Race, Alone, SAS: Who Dares Wins, and Hell’s Kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liffguard Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I genuinely enjoy Batman and Robin It's not a good movie, Schumacher in general is not a good director, but I like that style of camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Highlander: The Only One Movie That Was Made is a favorite guilty pleasure. The TV series too, though I did try to rewatch it a while ago and the early ninties-ness of it was almost overwhelming (for someone who came of age in the 90's). I cringe when I realize that grunge, baggy clothes, and ponytails are about to hit the cycle of 30 years later rediscovery. My teenage son is already pulling out some of the shirts from the very back of my closet that should've been donated a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder if it's the parents, or they actually like the music, or just think old bands are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 On 10/30/2022 at 8:23 AM, Jaxom 1974 said: Twister. That's my movie crack. If it's on, and I come across it, I'm watching at least ten minutes of it. Minimum. Some will say Shawshank is the movie that died this for them, but that movie is just genuinely unwatchable. That's my hot take on that. Saw it in the theater. It was fantastic. On 10/30/2022 at 8:33 AM, Tywin et al. said: Mars Attacks! That's the right answer.

Wasn't Shawshank panned with it first came out? I seem to recall it was a critical and commercial failure on release. 15 hours ago, Liffguard said: I genuinely enjoy Batman and Robin It's not a good movie, Schumacher in general is not a good director, but I like that style of camp. Sigh, another one I saw in the theater. I should have known something was up when the ice skates popped out of their boots. - This is a difficult one for me because stuff that I love I don't really consider "bad". But off the top of my head; Joe vs. the Volcano, Howard the Duck, and Predator 2. Armageddon Isn't a movie I love, but I find it hard to look away.
