What movies do you really like, but are afraid to admit to people that you have watched them 3,12 or maybe 20 times? (Pornos count...if you are brave enough to name some

)

Having taken film courses and being surrounded by film snobs most of the time, here are the movies I would never say that I have seen...repeatedly.

  • Titanic
  • Ten Things I hate about you
  • I want to hold your hand
  • Splash
  • Pretty Woman
  • There's something about Mary

Um, if Sleepless in Seattle comes on tv, I won't change the channel.

Hmm...Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Loverboy (I used to have the biggest thing for Patrick Dempsey back in the day), Mobsters (see the Patrick Dempsey crush), When Harry Met Sally.

The American President
Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Austin Powers (1 more then 2)
True Lies

...and how about, last night I watched the new Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie on the Family Channel. They've gotten so old! It wasn't too bad. Of course, it was set in London and I have a thing for British accents...

I'm not ashamed to admit I loved There's Something About Mary and of course I like anything with Kate Winslet

but I admit I like Victorian Era film adaptions from the novels of authors like Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, in fact I like all those late 19th century/ early 20th century adaptations from authors like Henry James, Edith Wharton, Oscar Wilde, etc

but again I'm not really ashamed or embarassed of it, though some people might be embarassed for me

How can you be ashamed of this? There's nothing wrong about laughing your ass off!

Mostly because I'm surrounded by film snobs in my film classes who only like auteur films or silent Russian cinema.

Van Wilder. I usually hate these flicks, but I liked Van Wilder.

Without a doubt, it would be You've Got Mail.

Oh, and incidentally, I *just* got done watching Pretty Woman (again) and starting bawling my eyes out at the same old spot (where Hector Elizondo kisses Julia Roberts' hand when she's leaving the hotel.)

Oh yeah, me too. I don't know how many times I watched that damn thing.

Ten Things I Hate About You (haha Naya! Heath!!)
Zoolander -should I be embarassed? It's hilarious.
Breakfast Club. Blah I can't think of any more.
 
Oh, God, yes! 10 Things I Hate about You is a classic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I don't know why you people are ashamed of most of these movies. Most of them are great, and Bill and Ted is a classic! I don't see anything uncool about them, but then I'm a weirdo

I thought it was going to be old or dorky stuff. I like old fashioned movies with families on farms and animals and goody goody story lines, Waltons and Little House on the Prairie type stuff. Oh, and All Dogs Go to Heaven. Don't the rest of you feel better now?

Nothing wrong with liking the first two Batman movies. Tim Burton, Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Danny Devito, Michelle Pheifer etc. I'd say that's a pretty impressive cast and they're all on top form.

However, Batman Forever. Truly unforgivable.

I still dig Goonies. Should I be embarrassed about that one?

Goonies!!! I love that movie! Same w/ other 80s flicks such as Labyrinth, The Chipmunk Adventure, and The Princess Bride.

It's a good time had by all.
