    These aren't in my top 10 or top 100, but are rather movies that I like that tend to get a knee jerk reaction of pain in most others.


    Wing Commander. It puts a piece of science back into science fiction. Don't like it for the acting. The plot has been done before. I thought it had many parts where there was a good reason they did something. Most sci fi films will just invert the polarity on the flux drive to fix a problem.

    Ice Pirates. The Swiss Cheese of Cheesy sci fi movies. Add Pirates, space ships, robots, martial arts, time travel, aliens, and a princess to a pot. Let simmer for two hours. Don't expect Shakespeare, but an amusing film.

    The Postman. Entertaining. Not the most original work, but is an original point of view. I am not the biggest critic on acting. I prefer a good story over acting. I liked the story, it was plausible. Yes, it had some cheese, but I'll take cheese over pseudointellectual crap.

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It had a lot of horrible parts, but I still enjoy it.

    What are the movies that you secretly enjoy?

    Battlefield Earth. Travolta was awesome.

    Also, for some reason I can't stop watching that ballet movie "Center Stage." It's so cheesy.

    My hidden shame....


    I love Grease 2 .



    Don't pretend to know why, but there it is.

    I saw it when I was five years old, and have been desperately in love with Michelle Pfeiffer ever since.


    Please forgive me....... :eek:

    The first two Problem Child movies. The kid is such an overactor that he's funny. And Gilbert Gottfried really sounds like hoarse parrot being sexually molested.


    Heavy Metal is basically T&A for comic book geeks, but then again, I was a 14 year old comic book geek at one time. Guess it's the nostalgia factor.


    I'll watch just about any horror movie that's on TV, no matter how lame it is.

    1941- People point to this flick as Spielberg's worst film, but I loved it.

    The Man With Two Brains

    The Three Amigos

    Two Moon Junction- This is Kristy McNichol finest work.;)
