Mine is August Rush, it’s so cheesy and I know it’s terrible but I’ve watched it a bunch of times.
I’m not really ashamed but I have some 90s classic anime on DVD and people try to shame me for it all the time. Like, they sell it on the shelf in the corner and go ‘YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE ANIME NERD WEIRDOS’. Except I’m not. It’s just shit I liked as a teenager and I re-watch every few years. I don’t get why it is so ‘shameful’ to have these in my possession. I know nothing about anime since like 2004.
It’s Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, and Neon Genesis.
I am not an anime nerd at all, but I do like cinema and good tv.
90s anime is best anime.
You have good tastes.
Bebop is great and what a great/strong soundtrack.
Eva is much more than mech fights. A lot more.
Good stuff.
I like The Core. Also a fan of Deep Impact, in that I’ve watched it multiple times. I feel no shame.
The Party, from 1968. It’s straight-up blackface, a white actor plays the Indian main character, stereotypical accent and all. I am plainly ashamed to like it for that reason. That and there’s a painted elephant paraded around the house at some point and I don’t trust animal welfare in films to be taken seriously at all at this time.
Everything else about the movie is quite enjoyable. Nearly the whole movie takes place at a crazy awesome midcentury party mansion. The gags are hilarious. There’s quite a few heartwarming moments. And apparently, despite the racial stereotypes and blackface, the movie was “hugely popular” in India (or so says wikipedia)
Hudson Hawk.
Bunny, ball ball!
Ashamed? None. I refuse to be ashamed of loving dumb trash. A couple of days ago I introduced my wife to A Knights Tale. She enjoyed it immensely and said it was one of the stupidest movies she’s ever seen.
If you love something, there’s always a good reason why, even if that good reason is buried under a mountain of flaws.
A knights table is one of the stupidest movies she’s ever seen?
Wow, she’s got a lot of stupid movie catching up to do
The original Mario Brothers movie, given how terrible of an experience it was for the actors.
I thought it was hilarious John Liguzamo was talking so much bullshit about having the race actor/acress matching the characters race. As he played a fuckibg Italian plumber as a Columbian. Dudes a total hypocrite.
I did not know it was a terrible experience behind the scenes.
Hackers. It is not a good movie. It is not an accurate representation of computer hacking. But it has Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Mathew Lillard, and Fisher Stevens as the villain. The very ridiculous villain. I have not seen a movie quite like it since.
The only part of the movie that I can’t stand is the big ending and whats her name can’t STFU in the background asking stupid question. Her voice just grates on me
Same when she is screaming in “Goodfella’s”
Actually, I think it’s lack of accuracy is kind of brilliant. It was weird in the day, but it has allowed the movie to be watchable far into the future without being terrible. Like watching it today the only time it gets cringey is when they specifically mention tech specs. e. g. 28.8 kbs modem. If they would have left that out it would fit in most time periods, by not really fitting into any of them.
I watch this at least annually just because. Mix of cheese, nostalgia, I don’t know.
Hack the planet.
Crash… and Burn!

I’m no so ashamed but Waterworld is a glorious spectacle with great world building and an over the top performance by Dennis Hopper
The thing about Waterworld is that it’s a) a lot of fun, and b) absolutely terrible, but it’s only terrible in the way that most movies of that time were terrible. It has this outsized reputation for being bad which is mostly down to the fact that it lost a lot of money (because it was extremely expensive to shoot and audiences immediately clocked it as being a Mad Max rip off with no new ideas to bring to the table). It’s no more awful than any other summer action blockbuster of its time, and it has plenty of fun moments in amongst all the usual trash.
I’ve never understood why everyone dislikes this movie. I’ve loved it since I first watched it.
It is a terrible movie that is also a glorious spectacle and everyone (except Kevin Costner) is fantastic. Nothing makes any sense, but is fun to see and frequently illogically clever.
Watched it last week!
Well now I’m in a quandary. I want to say Hudson Hawk except I’m not ashamed. You either appreciate its quirkiness or you don’t. And if you do you are simply a better, more evolved person than the rabble who doesn’t like it.
I saw it in the theater as a teenager. I thought it was hilarious. Saw it again 15 years later and was like “this is trash, how did I like this?” Last rewatch I was like “the camp is actually brilliant.”
hudson hawk gets rewatched here all the time. it is a good movie.
Anna Baragli came to play.
It’s a guilty pleasure of mine, too. I’m not ashamed. I like what I like.
I saw it in the theater and loved it then. Still do.
Howard the Duck.
I’ll see myself out.
best lucas film, best marvel film, peak lea thompson. all in one package. hell yea!
Short Circuit 2
I feel personally attacked. It’s better than the first film.
Los locos kick your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace!
A great performance by Michael McKean as always.
We just don’t talk about Fisher Stevens. Poor guy deeply regrets the role.
Punked out Johnny Five is the best Johnny Five.
It’s such a quotable movie!
No disassemble!
Tu mama haci el amore co mi perro
Johnny’s in the tunnel with Oscar…
Why would you be ashamed of this?
There’s no shame here. Punk Johnny 5 zooming in to save the day, sparks flying, I Need a Hero blasting… Peak cinema.
National Treasure
Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a beaut. Definitely not ashamed to enjoy that one.
Only a tad ashamed that Nic and Pedro rank pretty highly on my list of stupidly adorable on-screen bromances.
Buckaroo Banzai!
It is so so very good.
There is no regret in loving this movie, it is a masterpiece.
Terrible answer, who would be ashamed?
Robocop singing power ballads.
Jeff Goldblum in a goofy cowboy outfit.
John Lithgow as a scientist gone mad from what he’s seen and Christopher Lloyd as a weird alien.
God it’s a fucking treasure along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China.
John Bigbooty, you are the weakest individual I ever know!
Bigbooté! Bigbooté!
heck im not ashamed of liking that one.
The Core
You monster.
That movie, in my mind, hinges on the premise, delivered by Stanley Tucci: “but what if we could?”
I know he’s not the first and won’t be the last, but damn if that didn’t annoy me back in '03. It was just so… gutless as a sci-fi explainer.
YUSSSS
Frankenhooker.
It’s crass and trashy and I fucking love it.
WANNA DATE?!
I went to my town’s local fireworks display the other day, and I saw a guy wearing a Frankenhooker tshirt just out in the wild!
I thought I was the only person on Earth that had seen this movie! It’s amazing.
Also Hard Ticket to Hawaii
I don’t know any other film that passes the Bechdel test in a scene where two former Playboy models are topless in a hot tub together and talk about something other than men (there are no men in the scene, just the two women). A very unique and strange way to pass the Bechdel test that feels like it undermines the entire point of the Bechdel test existing.
Also Con Air, a star studded wild romp that’s so fucking stupid it rounds the bend to brilliant.
Ok so I actually just really love bad movies, that’s the thing. I could be on this thread all day.
Should I add this to Zombie Strippers?
Oh Frankenhooker is far more thoughtful and clever than Zombie Strippers, imho.
The end of the film almost makes it a feminist film when the tables are turned and the main character gets his comeuppance.
Zombie Strippers is based on a French Existentialist play and is a major critique about a lot going on in the time. It would have been better with its deleted scenes.
