Guilty Pleasure Movies

[marymouse]

Do you guys have any movies that you really don't want anyone to know you like?  I am sure you do.  I do!

I like the Casper movie a lot.  I have no idea why.  I generally hate live action re-makes of cartoon movies, 3D CGI animation makes me sad, and it just may be Eric Idle's worst movie appearance ever*... but I like Casper.

I really do.  :O

The Matrix sequels. I'm aware of the movies' weaknesses - the concept went from "discovery of a new world with mind-blowing concepts" to "same old world, so let's just throw in more characters and a love story", and some scenes need to be watched more than once in order to "get" them.

But I think the real reason the sequels are hated is because they're harder to follow or understand than the original. I think the sequels are beautiful and action-packed with good stories, though there is some CG abuse, especially in Reloaded (100 Smiths? Nobody can even follow the action).

But I won't deny it if anyone asks.

There are a lot of movies I watched as a kid that give me a sense of nostalgia, but watching them today it's clear how utterly horrible they were. I'm not sure if they count. But a great example is The Witches.

Maybe you could say I have a lot of "Guilty Displeasure" movies too - where everyone seems to think they're great, but they bore the heck out of me or just seem very badly done. The Hangover is a recent one. The Godfather, not so recent.

I couldn't make it through the second Matrix, I got bored. :( But you're a champ if you made it through!
