Crap films you love

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.

Legally Blonde. I love it!

SpringtimeSun · 11/05/2015 23:24

SpringtimeSun · 11/05/2015 23:24

Burt Lancaster, even. Lol

I sat through Mannequin yesterday-it was brilliant and crap all at the same time.

Carry On films. Always enjoyable even with many viewings.

Hismumhermum · 11/05/2015 23:29

I forgot about mannequin I used to love it. Hollywood Grin

OllyBJolly · 11/05/2015 23:33

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

Sparklingbrook · 11/05/2015 23:35

Tremors. Although it's better than crap IMO.

Ownerofalittlechimp · 11/05/2015 23:36

Just, I love Muriels Wedding!

Romy & Michelle's high school reunion
Clueless
Piranha 3D & 3DD

I'll go away now Blush

SecretRed · 11/05/2015 23:38

Mean Girls is my favorite film. I love it.

AmeliaPeabody · 11/05/2015 23:45

Muriel's Wedding
Clueless

Tentatively mentioning Heathers. It wasn't really crap was it?

TheFallenMadonna · 11/05/2015 23:48

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

letitlinger · 12/05/2015 00:01

27 Dresses. Love James Marsden!

Heathers isn't crap! Barry Kripke wrote a whole book about how awesome it is! Grin

Mine are:
Singles
Reality Bites
Clueless
Dream for an Insomniac
Empire Records

Oh dear Blush

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 12/05/2015 00:06

And - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

lemonyone · 12/05/2015 00:07

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!

readyforno2 · 13/05/2015 00:05

I love most of the films on this thread Blush
Don't tell mum the babysitters dead! I haven't seen that for years.
Yy to dumb and dumber and clueless

velouria · 13/05/2015 00:10

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.
