Come on I know you have at LEAST one movie you don't want to admit you own...perhaps could be the worst. but you can't help but liking it...perhaps even love it!

So fess up, which is it?

I guess I will have to fess up too.....so here goes............oh boy......................

Ocean's Eleven (the new version) and mary Poppins.

There I said it!

Heartbeeps. I don't like it, but I do own it, and it's kind of embarassing.

Showgirls.  And I have never been able to watch it all the way through.  It's just that wretched.

Funny point, we studied Showgirls the other day at Uni, part of Cult/Trash cinema.  We study the classics, as you may tell.

What's so bad about Oceans 11 and Mary Poppins, sure Mary Poppins is a bit iffy to own, but the new Oceans 11 was a great, well made movie.

There are two dvds that people consider I should be embarrassed about: Double Dragon and Plan 9 From Outer Space, but as a bad movie fan, I'm pretty proud of both.

I'm going to have to say Gone In 60 Seconds - The new Cage trash flick.

I hate hate hate hate it.

Someone gave it to me as a gift and I unfortunatly opened it and watched it.  

Awful.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.

I like the movies too, and why I own them, however, I do get picked on for it.  They always tell me that the original for Ocean's Eleven is WAAAAY better, and the remake shouldn't have been done, but I like the remake.  Loved Carl Reiner in the film...and the guy who plays Sol.  

Mary Poppins...well that is a nostagic film for me...just loved it as a kid, and it still gets to me now.  It is a bit embarressing, but I still keep it out with all my other collections...looks pretty funny sitting between Dr. Strangelove and a Clockwork Orange though...lol

Mary Poppins is an entertaining movie and a classic, and it has an entire Simpsons episode based on it. I wouldn't be embarassed about it. Of course, if I did own it, people would assume it was part of my wife's collection of musicals. Come to think of it, she might own it. I'm going to check that.

You just reminded me of two student films I did...I did 5 all together, but 2 should be burned and out of the acrchives.  Oh how awful!  I cringe when my mother wants to show people so I confiscated them...lol  Now they are safely buried in my apartment.

Although the burning of the tapes sounds great...........hmmmmm

I am a bit embarrased that I own, and enjoy, the "Guyver". I'm talking about the live action american one, we go way back so I don't hate it. Another one I'm embarrased about is also "Guyver" related. It's episode 8 of the Japanese Guyver t.v. show. It's dubbed (quite badly) and they made this one bad-ass character into a dork (Aptom). I'm embarrased that I own this episode but thankfully I own the DVD with the original Japanese language.

I'm sure I have movies more embarrashing but I can't think of them now.

Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!

I own "Super Mario Bros." That's pretty pathetic. And next to that on my media shelf- "Wizard" starring Fred Savage.

Daredevil.  Mind you, I didn't see it in theaters, I've all heard word of mouth about bad it is. But just had to buy the dvd out of curiosity, and now that I've seen it, that was a good $20 wasted.
