have loads I'm sure (I can't think of many rn) but Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman is one of my favourites!

Vampires, werewolves a Dracula I have an inappropriate crush on a badass heroine, bit of cheesyness , adventure and all the things in between. An overall great light-hearted watch for me.

Just discovered it's on Netflix and my evening is sorted 😁.

AIBU to ask what are you fav films which the majority doesn't appreciate?

Showgirls. It's just so dreadful it's brilliant.

Save the last dance

Jimdandy · 04/08/2019 21:57

@PalmPrint I love Showgirls! It’s so cheesy and good fun.

Love Barb Wire too.

Hot tub time machine
I'm not even sorry. Its tragic but I love it

Seren85 · 04/08/2019 22:05

Grease 2

PalmPrint · 04/08/2019 22:05

Jimdandy, I'm glad I'm not the only one to appreciate the spectacle that is Showgirls.

FaithInfinity · 04/08/2019 22:05

I love Van Helsing. I love Hugh Jackman. Did you see him on tour? 😍

I love Grease 2! It’s so awful, the lyrics are so naff. I read somewhere they hadn’t even finished writing it when they started filming it but I love it. I also love all the Pitch Perfect movies and listen to the soundtracks.

FaithInfinity · 04/08/2019 22:06

Ha crossed posts Seren85!

WelshMammaofaSlovak · 04/08/2019 22:08

@Seren85 I absolutely love Grease 2 and when I played it for my DH he loved it too - I suspect that's mainly down to Michelle Pfeiffer on that ladder in black leather though 😂😂😂

Laiste · 04/08/2019 22:08

Oh Dracula in Van Helsing! I'd forgotten about him. Yes. BlushGrin

The DCs used to put that video on a lot when they were younger and i often sat and watched with them ....

WelshMammaofaSlovak · 04/08/2019 22:09

@FaithInfinity I hadn't seen your post so a three way crossed post!

PixieLumos · 04/08/2019 22:10

I love Van Helsing! Easy, fun watch, I don’t understand what’s not to like.

I loved Grease 2 as a teenager so enjoy it now - if I watched it for the first time today I would probably think why did they make this film?

Margotshypotheticaldog · 04/08/2019 22:10

I came on to say Hot Tub time machine! 😂 It's awesome.
Also Superbad.
I apparently have the sophisticated sense of humour of a 15 year old boy...

Franklymydearidontgiveadam · 04/08/2019 22:11

Licence to drive
3men and a little lady
Robin Hood (with Kevin Costner)

Girlmama · 04/08/2019 22:12

Grease 2 is one of my all time faves. I was obsessed with it when I was about 13.

TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble · 04/08/2019 22:12

Oooh yesss Van Helsing. Dracula is a hottie!

Willow2017 · 04/08/2019 22:17

Van Helsing
Love Actually (don't care about the criticism it's just a feel good movie I can lose myself in.)
Robin Hood P.O.T again don't care about the historical side nor the accents. Just love all the characters and the action (and I could watch Alan Rickman read the telephone book 😀) shoot me i don't give a flying fig.

Lima45 · 04/08/2019 22:17

Another one for both Grease 2 and Van Helsing.

They're both full of cheesy goodness

(And I still want a coo oo oo ool rider!)

ShatnersWig · 04/08/2019 22:18

Jaws the Revenge is better than Jaws 3. There. I said it.

Lima45 · 04/08/2019 22:19

Omg @Willow2017
How did I forget the awesomeness that is Robin Hood POT?!

Mumof1andacat · 04/08/2019 22:24

Love Robin hood POT.also braveheart

Fuckface7 · 04/08/2019 22:29

The Hole, with Thora Birch and Keira Knightley. I know it's ropey but I enjoy it! And Grease 2 is a great film!

Sweeptheleg · 04/08/2019 22:39

Far and Away

EsmeeMerlin · 04/08/2019 22:49

@Franklymydearidontgiveadam Three men and a little lady is one of my favourite films. I have loved it since I was a child and know all the words.

Crossroads with Britney Spears.
Home Alone 3, everyone I seem to know will only watch the first two.
