It's Friday! Let's share some "movie guilty pleasures." I'm talking about films that you love that don't admit to anyone except maybe yourself. Movies that you might share with your partner, but you make a pact never to tell anyone else you watch them. Movies that you watch alone, but you wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm not talking about the award winners. The ones with the complex plots, brilliant acting, or visionary art direction. I'm talking Bring it On. I'm talking Better Off Dead. I'm talking Basic Instict. 2.
Hello. My name is Stefania, and I like me some bad movies:
Red Dawn (1984)—Wolverines!!!
Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991)—A place in time. I was so there.
You Got Served (2004)—A place in a different time. I wasn't really there, but I wanted to be.
Electric Dreams (1984)—A guy and his (ancient) computer compete for the same woman...and that woman is a young Virginia Madsen. (Does anyone else remember this movie?)
Xanadu (1980)—Olivia Newton John + roller-disco + a soundtrack by ELO. Awesome.
Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)—Two stoners in search of a burger. I'm not ashamed to admit... I loved it.
Your turn! What terrible movies do you secretly (or not so secretly) love?
