    She's All That with freddy prinze jr!!

    I don't see why this should even be an issue? I've no problem admitting any film I like to anyone. If they think it's 'uncool' or 'lame-ass' or whatever then it's really their problem not mine.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    a lot of my friends seem to think starship troopers is ****e... the muppets seem to be taking it as a serious piece of filmmaking:rolleyes:
    one of my top 10 films tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭segadreamcast


    Rush Hour 2. Stop laughing at me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 351 ✭✭Tribesmen7


    Titanic, but its still not one of my favourite films, but I do like it.

    And NoelRock, I though Rush Hour 2 was very good..

    Meet Joe Black....I know its crap but I cried like a girl (Im not a girl honest)
    The other plus is watching Brad Pitt get splatted in slo-mo on DVD :D

    Im not at all ashamed to admit I liked DareDevil too, much better than I had anticipated with Ben 'the Plank' affleck in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭MrGump


    Not ashamed to admit it at all- i love sister act two!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭ClareBear


    Pearl Harbor and Titanic.

    Topgun and 10 things I hate about you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭iasc


    top gun is a classic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭Dewey


    HeartBreakers- with Jen Love Heweitt. I was funny.....at times.

    Biceintenal(sp) Man- with Robin Williams, i loved this film for some reason?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre


    I liked Meet Joe Black quite a bit actually. (I suppose I could say "not as good as the original" but I haven't seen the original so I'll say nowt). Ditto Bill and ted (the good one, not the crap one), Frankie & Johnny and the Little mermaid. Bicentennial Man too.

    I draw the line at BB2000 though. I only have it on DVD because it came free with the original when I got it cheap from Play (both for 8 quid). It's not bad, it's just not very good.

    the Beach :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭Tivoli


    the butterfly affect- i think it is the best movie i seen this year (X 3 times) , but since most people hate it, i dont recommend it to me mates,the bit wher he drops the " i will come back for you" sign
    onto her coffin
    was so sad

    i also loved john carpenters vampires, i think everyone hates that, fav bit was when the 4 master vimpires dig themselves out of the ground and start walking with the dirt falling off them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭ChumpStain


    I own about 80 DVD's and most of them are classics, critically acclaimed and oscar winners but sticking out right in the middle is 10 Things I Hate About You. I have no idea why I like it I just do I can't explain it.

    That movie was so incredibly bad it was brilliant. :D
    Really has to top the list or so bad it's good films.

    Had to love the scene were the master vampire bloke shoves his hand into yer man's stomach, and rips upwards, splitting him right up! Good stupid fun, I might say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 348 ✭✭Fuhrio


    Star Trek :Nemesis


    What!, i thought it was really good (hello trekkies)......................shoot me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,255 ✭✭✭TCamen


    Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.

    Everyone I know thinks it's crap, but I really love it.

    "Hey Tobey, FÚCK OFF!" :D

    Oh, and I have John Carpenter's Vampires on DVD too, I like it, dunno why ppl are complaining! Love the massacre @ the start!

    It really is a good movie if you can see past the teen genre stereotype.

    xxx just for the big explosions and shiny things


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 466 ✭✭fizzynicenice


    hmmmmm, would have to be total recall. its not that its perticularly BAD per se, I'm just ashamed at approving of any action taken by that hummer drivin, cigar smokin'- gay hating TOOL that we have come to know as 'The Governator' (need i explain farther?)



    that or 'Muffy the Vampire Slayer' YES I've seen it, it does exsist, its is no longer just a turn of phrase, its great, there all so.....naked

    Battle Beyond the Stars - The Walton's John-boy piloting a wise cracking ship shaped like a moose with breasts......ah sweet cheese of mine.
    Great soundtrack though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    Rocky III. I think it is class.

    No one else does.



    With regards to Ten Things I Hate About You, I had heard loads of people sing it's praises, so I watched it. What were they all talking about.............


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper


    Home Alone 1 & 2

    fast and the furious is one of my fav films.

    armageddon and pearl harbour.. fights at home when they are put on again..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,482 ✭✭✭RE*AC*TOR


    If i were to be ashamed of admiting to liking a movie (i'm with ferdi on this one) is would probably be Freddy Got Fingered.
    Also Fletch Lives is probably my favourite movie ever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 547 ✭✭✭Devious


    The Last Action Hero. I just love the whole tone of that film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    not that i'm really ashamed of it, but IMHO, Ground Hog Day is one of the best movies of all time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    actually! no! i do have one i'm ashamed of.... deep rising

    it really is alot better than it should be!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭DukeDredd


    Rocky III & IV - have to watch them when herself is away!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,659 ✭✭✭✭dahamsta


    Ah, Fletch Lives was a classic, nothing to be embarrassed about there. "You've got a serious case of articulares maramaquoma."

    I have to confess to being a secret fan of soppy comedies, like Bill Murray's "Scrooged" and John Candy's "Uncle Buck".

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭shotamoose


    That would be Hannibal Brooks . Saw it on telly when I was about ten and it seemed like the perfect film then - it had Oliver Reed, Nazis and an elephant. Watching it more recently I realised that it's pretty badly put together, but then it was directed by Michael Winner. I'd still watch it again, cringing slightly.
