OT: Movies that you're embarrassed to admit you love.

Submitted by Michigan_Marc on
Seeing as we are all pins and needles regarding how we are going to finish up the next great class of ours and since I just got done viewing one of my all time favorite "embarrassed to admit I that I love this movie", movie. I will start. Mine is, 'A League of their Own'. *Side Note* This thread was inspired by Tom VanHaaren's unwavering devotion for the Bachelor.

The Lion King is my all-time favorite Disney film followed by Aladdin. Robin Williams is who makes that movie excellent. Genie is one of the all-time great characters in movies.

Not embarassed about the movie but kind of embarassed that I signed up for HBO now for the sole purpose of watching the Godfather epic when I watch Godfather 1 or 2 at least once every 6 months.

I always wondered how that movie would've fared if Godfather 1 and 2 weren't so brilliantly made.  Rocky V was pure garbage, but I thought Godfather 3 may have suffered from coming after two epic movies.  Seems like on its own, the movie was at least decent.  But tied to the other movies made it not a fair fight in the perception game.

Driving Miss Daisy. I will deny I ever have said this and if I am confronted with such accusations I will ask you where you heard this? If you are going to be honest you will have to reply the Internet, so no one will believe you anyway. So there.

I'm with you on that. I was actually watching Jingle All The Way sometime in December. I was just browsing the guide for something random to watch, came across it, and said, "Eh, fuck it. This is a funny movie." So, I watched it. I forgot that the kid who played young Anakin Skywalker is in that.

doc hollywood because it resonates with leaving socal and living in a rural place. 

mr. destiny, which is a modern adaptation of 'its a wonderful life', because when i was at michigan i was disappointed about how little hockey i got to play, but now 35+ years later, i can't imagine how anything could've gone better than it has.

Tom Hanks is awesome in "A League of Their Own" but, yeah, that is a pretty embarassing movie which I like as well.

I think my selection would be "When Harry Met Sally", I usually detest RomComs but I absolutley love that particular movie.

It's one of those female empowerment "chick flicks" so the target audience really seems to be women. If you are male (I am), it's a little bit embarassing to admit you like it. I agree that it is a very enjoyable movie, though.

Love Actually -

especially when the British guy goes to Milwaukee in the belief that American girls love any guy with a British accent. He ends up in bed with 3 of them naked because they are too poor to even afford pajamas
