You know the ones.
Tacky rom-com or teen movies, low budget B movies, whatever.
I'll start...
I'm PersonalClown and I love The Princess Diaries. 1 & 2.

Anyone brave enough to admit their embarrassing favourites?

Have any of you had this: you settle down to watch some old film like railway children and the dc are saying I" I don't see what all the fuss is about" and the daddy, my daddy part comes on and you get the tissues out and all the dc are sitting staring at you with shocked disgusted faces - "mother, what are you doing?"

(DD can quote the brownies and "We go this way"... was a tad embarrassing in the school playground when she announced "When you are drunk you forget that I am in charge" )

'Legend' - very young Tom Cruise and Tim Curry as the Devil. Fairies, pixies and unicorns and fairy princess etc.

I haven't yet actually met anyone other than me who has seen it!
