Guilty Pleasures

[gilgurth]

This episode is about movies... more to the point, bad movies, or just bombs, that you enjoy watching, more than once. All MST3K movies are off limits. A  small and incomplete list of movies I like that very few others appearently did. Not cult classics like Repo Man or the like, just real movies that came and went and only a small part of the

13th Warrior is probably in my top 10 I'll watch that shit over and over. :P

Antitrust, great flick. Most people I know just blink if I mention it.

Timeline. I don't know why I'll watch it repeatedly, but I will.

Enemy at the Gates. Not sure if it really qaulifies as 'bad' but certainly not popular.

The Recruit. I don't even know what to say about this, but I will watch it repeatedly and enjoy it.

Oh, and what I'm watching now, for like the 5th time in the last week:

Kingdom of Heaven.

You like the Chriton movies, eh? ;)

Some of those were ok, one or two 'bad flicks' ;) Kingdom of heaven has it's moments. can't get the wife to watch it cause it's 'religious' :o

Well, the movies based on his books are better than the books in most cases, so... ;)

For Kingdom of Heaven, it's ironic that the strongest message I get about religion from it is that those most vocal about a religion are rarely actually living by it. Also, the Hospitaller's (a religious order no less) statement about him not putting much stock in religion and that it was more about how you acted and thought.

I hear you, it's a long running debate with the wife. she won't watch 'The Messanger' (the Joan of Arc one with Leilu Multipass) for the same reason. Perception. Sal-hal-din isn't some pious guy in the movie, and the warlords & latin kings might trip over an altar, not knowing what it was, the way they acted. ;)

Nor was legolas, really. He's just a blacksmith, really...
