I just posted a review of The Last Dragon in the Last Movie You Saw and Rate It thread and it got me thinking. It is not a very good movie by any means, but its still a 9/10 for me because I loved it as a kid and it is goofy fun. So in other words, it gets a PASS from me no matter what. What movies that are not so good get a Pass from you? These are movies that you will watch on TBS no matter how many times you've seen it or how bad they are because you just like them for whatever reason. Not the best movies, but a movie you like no matter what anyone says. Here are some more of my movies that get my PASS:

Neverending Story
Big Trouble in Little China
Robocop 1 and 2
Starship Troopers
Pretty in Pink
Harry and the Hendersons
Ghoulies
C.H.U.D.
Leperchaun
Puppetmaster
Phantasm
Mannequin
The Goonies
Con Air
Tales From the Darkside the Movie
Canonball Run
Four Rooms

Starship Troopers definitely is probably on my list.

I love cheesy Sci-Fi Channel movies...watch them all the time, even though they suck.

Neverending Story was a great movie ;)

Anything directed by Kevin Smith sans Jersey Girl...although Dogma really is brilliant...the others probably aren't.

Christmas Story...let's face it...it's not THAT good...but you can't not watch it on Christmas Day.

Breakfast Club - It's four kids sitting in freaking detention bitching about their lives! But, it's awesome.

Horror movies past the first installment of the series...

I'm sure there are a zillion more.

I'm a sucker for war movies.

Patton
We Were Soldiers
Platoon
Good Morning Veitnam
Green Berets (John Wayne)
The Alamo (John Wayne)
Midway (Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda)

I'm sure i could think of a hundred more but i'm having a brain fart right now, sorry.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a great movie! It totally doesn't belong on this list.

Napoleon Dynamite certainly does, however. What a perfect low budget, quirky movie...

I LOVE Jon Heder. I just watched Mama's Boy yesterday. I totally snorked more than once. I could quote Blades of Glory word for word if you'd like. :salute:

Here's a couple, one I watched last night, and another that I was reminded of..........

Space Cowboys ~ 4 of my favourite actors, Eastwood, Sutherland, Garner & Tommy Lee Jones just hamming it up deliciously :laugh:

Flash ~ Big budget Dino De Laurentis movie that is carried by the exuberant Brian Blessed & sinister Max von Sydow, along with a thumping Queen soundtrack.............completely OTT, more camp than Boy George, Elton John & the Scissor Sister's combined..............fantastic :lol:

The animated Transformers movie (1986)...my favorite movie as a kid.
This movie is too well respected, and overall structured better than the live action joint. The part where Megatron becomes Galvatron is one of my favorite moments in animated movie history, third only to when Unicron transformed into a big ass robot and when Optimus destroys the Decepticons with "You Got The Touch" in the background.


How about old Godzilla movies...

I love those.
Even though it looked like a man in a rubber suit destroying a Lego set, they were the shiz. Godzilla's Revenge is my alltime favorite even though it is probably the least popular. And those twins singing to Mothra. That's my shower song.


Other guilty pleasures:
- Bedazzled
- Take The Money And Run - probably Woody Allen's least known flick but DAMN funny!
- Foul Play - This is actually a very good movie and probably shouldn't be on the list.
- 70s and early 80s porn.
- Explorers
- Wildcats
- Airplane 2 - I don't care if the jokes are recycled.
- All the Abbott & Costello flicks, but a special mention to "Time Of Their Lives" the only one where they didn't have dialog with each other. But it was actually one of their best, to me at least.

And I don't know if they did this outside of New York, but every Saturday at 3:00 in the early 80s they ran back to back Kung Fu flicks. And that ya ya ya ya theme song rocked!!

Star Trek ~ The Motion Picture.

After the success of Star Wars, Paramount decided to take the perspective script to a 2nd TV run of Star Trek, give it a massive budget (I believe in real terms, it's the most expensive film ever), and put it onto the big screen. The result was a tedious monstrosity, that was a 45 minute script stretched out by some admittedly fantastic visuals, and at times it sure felt like it.............

But the thing is, it's like your easy chair, or your favourite slippers, it just feels so 'comfortable', it's like having your mates round :whoknows:

Most of the ones that come to mind off the top of my head are already listed:

The Princess Bride
Neverending Story
Big Trouble in Little China
Harry and the Hendersons
Puppetmaster (all of em)
Species
Mannequin
My Cousin Vinny
Killer Clowns from Outer Space (tres under-rated classic :D )
Sleepaway camp
Scanners
Screamers (total recycled trash and I love it)
The trifecta of crucified Van Damme in Cyborg, Kickboxer 3 with the kid from Step by Step and badass arrow catching in American Ninja for the win

~G

Edit: Oh, oh, and bonus undead trifecta of My Best Friend is a Vampire, My Boyfriend's Back, and Dead Heat. Total awesomeness, especially Dead Heat - see it back to back with Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live and find out if your eyes melt from sheer awesomeness.

Oh, and the Reanimator movies, and anything by Troma especially Tromeo and Juliet, and Class of 1999 1 and 2, and the Return of Swamp Thing with Heather Locklear...jeez, there's a lot when I think about em...

I love fine cinema, but if you watched enough 3 am Cinemax, especially back in the 80s and 90s, then you had to grow to love terrifically terrible cinema too.
