Stupid movie guilty pleasures

[Ashful]

Let's hear it. Speed? Backdraft? Twister? What's the stupid movie you can't help but watch, when it pops up?

I'll admit to liking Twister, just re-watched it with my kids last year. Fun movie.

Airplane, Monte Python, Men in Tights, and other intentionally-stupid spoof movies don't count!

The Dictator
Grown Ups
Grown Ups 2
Grumpy Old Men
Grumpier Old Men

I love all the Grumpy Old Men movies! But you made me feel even less cool, since I didn't even know they were considered stupid.

 

[ABMax24]

Goofy is probably a better term for them than stupid, I've always loved those 2 movies.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
"Chitters full Clark"

Yeah. In my head, I was thinking more of movies that were just bad, but guilty pleasures anyway. But doesn't matter, this is fun too!

Snakes on a plane, anyone? Tremors? Anaconda!

Yes, that one counts.

Highlander. The first one - the sequels were too much guilt, not enough pleasure.

A Knight's Tale.

I'll second Tremors, and throw in the sequels.

Any Astaire and Rogers, Marx Brothers, or Thin Man movie.

Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical? Must be seen to be believed.

Zardoz.

How about television? The original Dr Who, through 1989.

actually one of the best movies of all time, just no one knows about it

Any time I watch the movie _Chef_ I know in advance I am going to be doing a pork shoulder on hickory and a ham on cherry so I can fire up my plancha after I also come up with some scratch made bread. It is a three day ordeal for me watching that one, but the sandwiches are outstanding.

Perhaps not a stupid movie, but a guilty pleasure for sure.

Definitely Monty Python-Holy Grail.

The one I watch when I need some decompression in my life is
Blazing Saddles.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Oh, I’ll add the Austin Powers movies and Super Troopers movies!


Caddyshack
A lot of the Mel Brooks stuff


Give me time, I’ll think of more.

My sons love some of the Chuck Norris movies for a good laugh. In Forest Warrior he stops a chainsaw chain by grabbing it with his bare hands. Later Steven Seagal movies are similarly chuckle worthy.

 

[Prometeo]

Lock & Stock

 

[weee123]

Big trouble!
Blazing saddles,
Old school
Superbad
Any monty python
Borat
And im sure im missing a few classics

Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical? Must be seen to be believed.

Holy crap... how did I not know about this one?!?

Holy crap... how did I not know about this one?!?

On a similar note (improbable musicals): the move version of Tommy. Olivier Reed and Jack Nicholson in a musical? Doesn't really count, though. Guilty enough, but not a pleasure.

 

[NHWS]

Another improbable musical: the 2021 version of Cyrano. Peter Dinklage playing the lead character in a musical? Also doesn't really count: a surprise pleasure, but not at all a guilty one.

 

[Ashful]

I still get a kick out of this one, every time I happen to catch it playing somewhere.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Can’t forget Airplane!

Airplane, Monte Python, Men in Tights, and other intentionally-stupid spoof movies don't count!

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Those aren’t documentaries?

Young Frankenstein was one running gag line.
