We've crossed over to the dark side

Right.......It's so painful to even think about what we're about to write right now that we don't even want to go to the topic...It's time to reveal our guilty pleasures. When we say guilty pleasures, we mean guilty pleasures. Ie. we're actually embarrassed to confess that we like these films. Some we can say that we like (but they're such b-movies that one can't call them good films with a straight face), but others...We'll let you be the judge on what gives us most shame. Without further ado:

1. Tremors. Now here's a b-movie that's so ridiculous and entertaining it's almost a good movie. It's so cheesily funny you just have to enjoy it. 



2. Lethal Weapon. If we had to choose between action or some other lighter genre, we'd pick action. You've all seen this, need we even explain why we like it?


3. Tarzan. Here's a film that wouldn't be on this list if not for two things. Sappiness and 90s' Phil Collins. Really Disney?? Really??


4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. We know that most people like this movie as it is. We were both in our teens when we saw it the first time and we were pretty stoked, but after some contemplation and education in good film, this has definitely become a guilty pleasure. It was like The Mask of Zorro; it had been so long since a decent adventure film so we made it into a bigger deal than it really was.


5. Enchanted. Wow, now we're getting deeper in our shame. We have no excuses, this movie just works. 


6. Hairspray. We like the 60s, okay? And the music does get stuck in your head.


7. Confessions of a Shopaholic. And the hits just keep on coming.... We don't even have words for this one. But hey, it passes the Bechdel test, so suck it!


8. Clueless. All the references to Emma weren't lost on us. Also, Paul Rudd was pretty adorable.


9. Broken Arrow. Okay, we want to just dig ourselves graves and never come out again. These last two movies are truly horrific. We mean, awful disasters. This one is not the last simply because John Travolta's overacting is so hilarious. 


10. Hard Rain. Holy shit brain!!!! We don't know if our brains suffered strokes or whatever, but having two Christian Slater movies that we like (and neither is Prince of Thieves which is bad too but at least it has Alan Rickman). We want to fall off the face of the earth.... We told you, it was going to be something shameful. Now you can pat yourself on the back and say "good job, at least you don't have two embarrassingly 90s Slater action movies on your guilty pleasure list".
