Ridin' on a Snotling Pump Wagon






We've all got them. Might be a standalone film, might be a series.

But we've all got our favourite movies of quite questionable taste. Usually panned by critics and public, on occasion inexplicable box office successes or predictable bombs.

For me, it's the Resident Evil series. Of their many sins, they bear pretty much no relation to the games, have questionable continuity with each other, and let's face it quite ropey acting.

But I love them. They're hokey, they're fun, and there's just a joyous energy to them. They don't pretend to be high class cinema, but don't ever feel like lazy 'we'll just trade off the name, yeah?' adaptations. When you consider most computer game cash ins, these ones are head and shoulders above most. Whilst that's not necessarily saying much (I mean....Uwe Boll makes too many), for me it's basically these and Silenf Hill which are any good.

So that's mine, but what's yours?

Hudson Hawk was ahead of its time! Like Big Trouble in Little China and Last Action Hero. Movies that send up genre conventions while seemingly playing it straight confuse a lot of people, apparently?



I have so many guilty pleasure movies that I might almost prefer cheesy films. Krull, Night of the Creeps, Critters, Enemy Mine, Gremlins 2, and so on. I've really gotten into the YouTube channel Good Bad Flicks for ideas.

Meh, most of the movies listed so far are not the kinds of movies anyone should be guilty or ashamed of for liking. A "guilty secret movie" should be the kind of movie that you don't tell anyone that you like it, because of the weird looks you'll get and the need to explain yourself.
I have one, though. Xanadu. I love every gloriously cheesy minute of it, with music by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John.

Mine technically was, since one of my friends didn't speak to me for a whole year after I told them I liked it. Turns out it was a misunderstanding; I thought Bronys meant you just liked the show. She thought I was saying I'm a creepy pony pumper (if you catch my drift) and got weirded out.

Now I only bring up my interest with it sparingly.

My guilty awful-ness is the Sharknado series. Or any shark monster movie.

Eh considering the other guilty movie pleasures i may as well share mine.

I was younger when i saw both but i liked scary movie 3 and dumb and dumberer.

Scary movie 3 had some decent parts.

Dunno if dogs humping is safe for work but it made it to youtube so it must be ok.

I liked Doom. Not saying it was high cinema, but it held together well and had a number of nice references to the game itself. The FPS scene was classic and a nice touch.

I'll agree on that one.

Only seen it a couple of times, but it's got Karl Urban in it, and is a decent enough action shooter film.

I'm not sure if it's a guilty secret movie, or a polarizing movie, but Kung Pow Enter the Fist is one of my favorite movies. It is also one I will not mention or show to people unless they push for it. Then, they either stop talking to me for a while or go get themselves a copy and begin gleefully quoting it.

I also like the Doom movie.
I'm fond of the second Matrix movie too - It's not as strong story-wise as the first, but if nothing else it has some great fight scenes, and the freeway chase, which is cool.
