Title: movies you shouldn't like but somehow do... Post by: zombie no.one on July 02, 2011, 09:17:03 PM - firstly, I'm not talking about 'Bad Movies' here, i.e. "so bad they're good" being the main reason you shouldn't like them but do...I'm talking about movies that are considered to be credible films.
what got me thinking of this was seeing MRS DOUBTFIRE again for the first time in years and not only enjoying it as much as I did the last time, but actually laughing out loud which is something I hardly ever do at films these days, and *sissy alert* actually crying (ok slight welling up of tears not really crying) at the ending. But the thing is, not only am I not a fan of sentimental type family based comedies in general, I also can't stand Robin Williams in anything else he's done, TV or film. Yet for some reason I love Mrs Doubtfire :smile: :question: so I was wondering if anyone else has a film they shouldn't like but somehow do like?

It's the thinking man's zombie invasion movie and while I don't mind smart entertainment I could never really get into Pontypool. I love that it was made in Canada, and I especially dig the snow setting which gives the movie excellent atmosphere by default. But I found the plot to be, well, kinda silly. So basically I'm like this :lookingup: and this :thumbup: when watching Pontypool. Title: Re: movies you shouldn't like but somehow do...

Post by: JaseSF on July 03, 2011, 04:08:50 PM Actually it wasn't such a huge stretch as I had in bachelorhood previously enjoyed Rock Hudson-Doris Day films like:
Pillow Talk Lover Come Back Send Me No Flowers The "Tammy" films including: Tammy and the Bachelor (starring Debbie Reynolds) Tammy Tell Me True (now starring Sandra Dee as Tammy) Tammy and the Doctor and the Cary Grant, again with Doris Day, film: That Touch of Mink And one more featuring Day: Move, Over Darling I liked all far more than I expected I would...

Its about some nuns on a mountain. Some go a little loopy. And thats it. Title: Re: movies you shouldn't like but somehow do...

And thats it. :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: That has got to be the best description of a Michael Powell / Emeric Pressburger film I have ever read. :cheers: The movie that I should not like (but do) is Richard Attenborough's Cry Freedom ~ those that know me will know how I feel about anti-SA films made by people such as Attenborough, but I can't help liking this film. |
