Now, what is a guilty pleasure film? Well, it’s those movies that is hated, weather by fans, critics, or the world in general, but you just can’t help but love. So, today, I will be talking about my ten guilty pleasure movies. Now, MY guilty pleasures may be different from YOUR guilty pleasures, so please, don’t try and insult me because of the choices on this list. Now, with that said, lets start the list
#10: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - After the epic Terminators 1 and 2, fans were hyped for the next one in the series… And they ended up hating it. They said that it wasn’t very good, and all of the characters were just dull and boring. Me, I kinda liked it. I mean, sure, it doesn’t come close to the original 2, but it was still a pretty good film. The action was awesome, and the special effects weren’t that bad. Not to mention it is still filled with Schwarzenegger’s awesome catchphrases, so how can you hate that. Besides… can’t all just agree that Terminator Salvation is the real piece of shit in the series? Also, after seeing the trailer for Terminator Genisys with Arnold back in it, I am more hyped than ever.
#9: Independence Day - A lot of people have said that all this movie is is a dull and boring movie that tries to hide behind it’s special effects. While I can see it, it really didn’t bother me. I mean, I was too interested in the awesome special effects to notice it at the time, and I have to say, Will Smith is just too damn lovable in this movie as he always is. Sure, they are right about this movie being a little dull, but the action scenes are pretty cool. And, lets be honest, at least the aliens are defeated by mankind, and nothing stupid like music (Mars Attacks), diseases (War of the Worlds), and fucking water (The Signs). So, good job on not being totally stupid, Independence Day.
#8: Pokemon: The First Movie - Okay, lets all be honest here. The story of this movie is fucking horrible, The moral is hypocritical, and it is all just bland. So, why is it a guilty pleasure. Nostalgia, of course. Yeah, just because something is nostalgic doesn’t mean it’s good. I remember buying this movie on VHS, as well as the two other films and a FUCKTON of Pokemon merchandise. Yeah, I was obsessed with Pokemon when I was a kid. Looking back at the movie NOW, yeah, it’s a piece of shit, but I’ll never forget the joy it brought me, so I can be thankful for that
#7: Freddy VS Jason - Now, everyone says that this movie was just stupid and the teenage protagonists were the worst part. I kinda agree. I mean, the protagonists were dull and annoying, and I honestly couldn’t care for their survival. But, other than that, this movie was awesome. I mean, sure, it’s a stupid concept, but, so is Goku VS Superman, but people still want to see it. Seeing Jason and Freddy fighting in a battle is so awesome. I mean, we are seeing two famous villains from slasher films fight, as well as killing off victims. It’s just so stupid, but awesome at the same time (That’s the key sentence to this list. Get used to it). All I can say is, it may have been awful to fans, but at least it was better than Alien VS Predator
#6: The Wicker Man - WHAT!? But the Wicker Man is a timeless horror classic. Well, yes, it is… the 1973 version, anyway. The 2006 remake, however, is an ungodly abomination. It has terrible characters, terrible acting, and is just stupid. But it’s so bad, that it is actually entertaining. I mean, you have Nicolas Cage yelling about a burnt doll, holding someone at gunpoint for riding a bike, and dressing up as a bear and punching a woman in the face. I mean, I thought he was over the top in Vampire’s Kiss, but after seeing this… My god, he’s like a cartoon character. And it is hilarious. Sure, this movie may be awful and my spit in the face of the original, but, goddamn it, I can’t help but watch it for it’s horribly acted and unintentional comedy
#5: Hot Rod - Now, people say that this is just an incredibly stupid film that doesn’t even try at all to be funny. But, that’s what I like about it. It’s so stupid, that I can’t help but laugh at it. It’s kinda like GMod or YTP, people find them so stupid, that they laugh. That is Hot Rod for me. It is filled with a bunch of stupid characters getting into accidents, like crashing into a van, falling down a never ending hill, and even being run over. Again, it is really stupid, but I really can’t help but laugh at it. Again, it’s stupid. Hell, it’s probably brain dead as all hell, but, like I said, I just can’t help but laugh at it
#4: Kick-Ass - People have said that superhero movies are amazing. And some examples are The Dark Knight, The Avengers, and more. But, when people saw this movie, they were kinda sceptical. Me however? I have not seen a movie this awesomely stupid since Kill Bill. This superhero movie is just filled with over-the-top action scenes and a bunch of dark humor, that I can’t help but love this movie. Yeah, you could argue that it is just stupid, but that’s what I love. It’s TRYING to be stupid, and it loves it. And I love it too. I haven’t seen the sequel, but all I can say is “This movie was loved enough to get a sequel”?
#3: Commando - Here it is. The king of stupid action films. This movie is incredibly stupid, but it’s awesome at the same time. Name ANY other film where you can see Arnold Schwarzenegger gun down an entire ARMY of soldiers with only a machine gun, and not even take a hit, while blowing up buildings to find a little girl… Yeah, no other movie does that. It’s just so stupid. Also, this film has easily some of Arnold’s best catchphrases, which are so goddamn cheesy, that they are so epic. I mean, it’s just hard to not like this movie. It’s stupid, but it kicks major ass
#2: Hobo With a Shotgun - …… Yes, that is the title of this film… Do I even need to point out how and why people didn’t like this film? I mean, it is about a homeless man that goes around and fights crime with a shotgun…. AND IT IS AWESOME! Sure, the concept is stupid, but (You all know what I’m gonna say), it’s awesome. The film has some awesome fight scenes, and, I have to admit, the Hobo is actually a pretty cool anti-hero. I know, I sound really stupid saying that, but it’s true. If you like a bunch of violent over-the-top movies that looks like it was made by a drunk Quentin Tarantino, then this is for you
#1: The Room - What can be said about The Room? Really? The story sucks. The acting sucks. The characters suck. The movie in itself sucks. This movie was so bad, they actually lied about calling this movie the “Best Movie of the Year” just to get people to watch it. They were THAT desperate. And… this movie is actually entertaining. I mean, the story is so bad, the acting is so terrible, the characters are so awful, that they actually make me laugh. I’m not kidding, this is a movie that you need to show to your friends if you all want a good laugh. It is a terrible film, and probably the worst movie ever made, but, goddamn, it is amazing.
Well, there you have it. Did you enjoy the list? Tell me what you thought of it. And with that, I will see you all next time
