I realised recently that some of my favourite films are ones that are considered shit by most film buffs.

Grease 2
Supergirl
Flashdance
The Phantom of the Opera ( film version of the ALW musical )


Oh and Holiday on the Buses. I know it's awful, dated sexist rubbish but it makes me just howl with laughter. It was also filmed in and around Prestatyn and Rhyl in North Wales, which I'm pretty familiar with with.

Bring it on- absolutely corny cheerleading film with Kirsten Dunst. Watch it every time it's on.

Maid in Manhattan. I don't know why I love it but it transfixes me like a kid watching cartoons.

I think I can beat all for crapness with my adoration for…

"The Cutting Edge"

A run of the mill straight to DVD movie with every single cliché mined to maximal effect.
Two protagonists who hate each other but will ultimately dissolve in a pool of lust - check.
Montage showing getting better at an activity (in this case figure skating) - check.
Dodgy hairstyles and bizarre clothing choices only found in midwestern American movies of the 90s - check.

It's a must-watch!

Agree to most of these, also the serial killer mom one with Kathleen Turner.

I was also a bit addicted to the dodgy Christmas films channel 5 showed during the day last December Blush.
