Two of my favourites that dh can’t stand and thinks they are not worth the disc they are printed on

Scott pilgrim vs the world

Sucker punch

I love both of these films. I think they are very entertaining and I like how sucker punch literally sucker punches you at the end as it’s not an ending you would expect

Velvet Goldmine.

Gingernaut · 02/12/2020 12:03

The Rock
Con Air

Collidascope · 02/12/2020 12:07

Death Proof

The Tomb Raider films

Two or three Nicholas Sparks films. I know they're shite and clichéd and the characters are tedious, but sometimes you just want a couple of beautiful people and some nice scenery.

Armageddon
Total recall
Demolition man

Soubriquet · 02/12/2020 12:47

All the ones people on here hate, love actually, pretty woman, the holiday.

I also love OTT movies featuring giant animals, eg the Meg, eight legged freaks, rampage.

Practical magic is a favourite of mine too. Complete girl power

Tremors
Godzilla (the one with Matthew Broderick)
Sharknado

FourTeaFallOut · 02/12/2020 13:28

The Family Man, even people who quite like Nicholas Cage hate this movie. I don't get it - I think it's sweet.

LadyJaye · 02/12/2020 13:30

I love ridiculous action movies and even more so if they're set on planes, so Con Air, Passenger 57, Red Eye and so on.

Absolutely anything with The Rock in it. I bloody love The Rock.

My cousin Vinny , nice to see Joe Pesci play a different type of character

SunscreenCentral · 02/12/2020 13:31

All of the Twilights

Oxyiz · 02/12/2020 13:45

Twister. Best film ever, no arguments.

Yes I know why its rubbish but I love it!

@SunscreenCentral

All of the Twilights
Came here to say this. I am not ashamed either Grin
Alexandernevermind · 02/12/2020 13:56

Anaconda and Sharknado Blush

NeedWineNow · 02/12/2020 13:57

From Dusk until Dawn. DH cannot understand why I like this but it's so off the wall!

DisgruntledPelican · 02/12/2020 13:57

@Gingernaut Con Air is amazing. BBC3 used to show it all the time and I would usually watch it!

My favourite film is Clue. It’s a bit of a niche cult classic but quite a few people have never heard of it. I’ve loved it for years but it is quite naff on the surface. Features Tim Curry in one of his finest roles.

My Cousin Vinny is fantastic .. I remember properly belly laughing when Vinny turns up in court in that ring-masters outfit. And Jason Robards’ dead-pan “are you mocking my courtroom?”
