Guilty Pleasures

  
 

What is a 'guilty pleasure'? These are the movies that just keep calling you, begging for a re-watch. Films you'll never see in the AFI Top 100, possibly not even making the top 1,000. There is no explaining why you like some films, you just like them. These aren't 'cult' films. Cult Films have an open appeal to many, for their bizarreness. These are the movies that you find yourself watching alone and always enjoying.

Here is my list, I think it makes Marty's list look tame. I think "Forrest Gump" and "Braveheart" are considered pretty good films. Still, I see a few on his list I like and would rent. "The Wanderers" was creepy. I see the attracton.

  1. I Wanna Hold Your Hand
  2. Just Tell Me What You Want
  3. Same Time Next Year
  4. Viva Las Vegas
  5. Cabin In the Sky
  6. Bye Bye Birdie
  7. Valley Girl
  8. Things Change
  9. Play Misty for Me
  10. Wonder Man

Hope you can find something on my list at the video store.

 ok...if you define top 10 as movies you watch any time you know they're on...or, if you watch them over and over on video.....in no particular order,

  1. Die Hard
  2. That Thing You Do
  3. Forrest Gump
  4. Major League
  5. The Wanderers
  6. The Buddy Holly Story
  7. Back to the Future
  8. Can't Buy Me Love
  9. Army of Darkness
  10. Braveheart


Most of those would probably qualify as guilty pleasures...I doubt if many film buffs would think of them as high quality movies..lol. marty

Marty, this is a good category. Thanks for suggesting it!
