Favourite Films - But too ashamed to admit

[PacificOcean]

Yeah. I don't get it either. If you like a film why should you be ashamed of it?

Well piss off out of the thread then

 

[jodal]

How about Maid in Manhatten? Ms Idaho is into her crappy romcoms but even that was beyond her venerable capacity for low grade cheese.

Haven't seen it but I know that I wouldn't like it. JLO can fuck off.

 

[killer b]

i enjoyed four weddings and a funeral...

 

[Ryazan]

The Princess Bride.

You shouldn't be ashamed of liking that.

 

[Idaho]

Haven't seen it but I know that I wouldn't like it. JLO can fuck off.

Apparently she ruins what would have otherwise been a merely dreadful film.

 

[etnea]

The Princess Bride.

*splutters*
But that's a GREAT film. And the book's even better.

 

[dylanredefined]

The princess bride great film
Street fighter
kelly's heros
A matter of life and death

 

[Thomson]

Mary Poppins every time!

 

[electrogirl]

Two words..

Dirty Dancing.

Nobody puts baby in the corner.

 

[hektik]

tango and cash.

 

[Stigmata]

I like the X-Files film. Also The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp.

 

[Dr. Furface]

muriel's wedding

(in fact anything with wedding or high school in the title)

but i'm kind of out and proud about that

And so you should be - that's a great film!

And as for me, well I'd always make time for Stallone's Cobra, if you'll pardon the expression!

 

[vogonity]

tango and cash.

Wicked film! "You broke his jaw?"

Roland Emmerich's SF films do it for me - Stargate, Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow... they just work.

And Lethal Weapon 2, described by Vogue magazine as "reprehensible, but wickedly enjoyable."

 

[Epico]

BASEketball. I think I know the script inside out.

 

[Ryazan]

I am fond of The Dark Crystal.

 

[electrogirl]

I am fond of The Dark Crystal.

The Dark Crystal is cracking, no shame there! My family nickname is Pod because of that film.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I am fond of The Dark Crystal.

You can't knock the Dark Crystal, it's a quality film. No reason to be ashamed of that one.

 

[West68thStreet]

Yeah. I don't get it either. If you like a film why should you be ashamed of it?

Because it might be Beaches? By the way, my answer is Beaches. Geddit now?

 

[electrogirl]

Slap Her, She's French.

First of all I'm ashamed that I actually sat down and watched it, second of all I'm ashamed that I laughed out loud.

 

[Ryazan]

The Dark Crystal is cracking, no shame there! My family nickname is Pod because of that film.

Oh it is, I am more than fond of it, but I am a 24 year old man. What I mean by that is, some people I know would not take that seriously.

 

[muser]

Revenge of the sith, I have watched this film 5 or 6 times since it came out. And have brought the first 3 films in the trilogy. I have even managed to get a friend who is in no way a star wars fan to watch it and he has downloaded all the films and is currently working his way through them.
I don't know what it is but I've got the bug.

 

[Ryazan]

Tess (of the D'urbevilles) by Roman Polanski. Some literary facists might want to attack me for it's inaccuracies, but I know the novel inside out too.

Yes, directed by a child rapist, and Natassja Kinski is a pretty, pouting and a bit too much of passive version of the pure woman, but the film still captures that obstinate rebelliousness that won me over to Tess *sigh* when I read the novel for the first time. And the cinematography, sets and costumes are lush.

I like it. So there.

 

[Pieman]

Last Action Hero


"To be or not to be...(explosion)...Not to be"

 

[Ryazan]

Arnie is from Austria not Verona.

More roughie than gentleman.

 

[WasGeri]

Sound of Music.

Wizard of Oz.

Although I'm not really ashamed of admitting anything I like that doesn't confirm to the Urban norm.

 

[Ryazan]

What is the urban norm?

 

[WasGeri]

What is the urban norm?

Just looking down on things I like doing. Going to McDonalds or Starbucks, watching Friends, or liking Keane, or Coldplay.

 

[Ryazan]

I have never done that. Don't feel so persecuted.

 

[WasGeri]

I have never done that. Don't feel so persecuted.

No, not everyone does.

It's my secret hope that the boards are full of people who like Keane and Friends, but are too scared to say, and one day they will rise up and take over.

 

[D'wards]

I love Commado - no one mows down a private army quite like Arnie, eh?
