I consider this to be a guilty pleasure movie; a flick that you know has all kinds of problems, you wouldn't put it in a list of your favorite movies, but you still love to watch inspite of it's failings..
Some of my others would be...
Roadhouse
Red Dawn
Point Break
(inspite of the coincedence, i really do not have a Patrick Swayze or Keanu Reeves fetish...it really is just a coincedence).
Also Hancock for me

shareInteresting how some people's "guilty pleasure" movies are excellent movies according to others... :)
My personal guilty pleasures would include:
Chronicles of Riddick
AVP 1 & 2
Battle: Los Angeles
Van Helsing
Firestarter 2
The Core
Hmm, can't thinking of others right now, sure there are some more.
I don't get this "guilty pleasure" thing. I mean sure, triple chocolate cake is a guilty pleasure because it's bad for you and you still get some when you shouldn't. Hence the guilt.
However, if you like a movie, even if you don't think it is flawless(or have been told repeatedly it isn't, as I suspect is the case here) ... it's a pleasure. Nothing guilty about it. You watch it, you enjoy it, it's not bad for you.
Now, does liking the movie improve your cool factor? Probably not. But that's an entirely different thing. This should be called the "not cool for school movies" thread.
