Default Guilty pleasure movies

Ok, I have started this on a couple other boards I am on and I always enjoy reading people's thoughts.

What are "those" movies that you enjoy watching but will cause others to roll their eyes at you.

For me, I gotta go with "Commando" (a movie full of one-liners); "Firebirds" (great arial footage...but parts will make you cringe); and "Clue" (All-Star cast...but corny beyond all belief).

There are many others, but I just wanted to kick things off.

Hot Shots and Hot Shots: Part Deux

I love stupid humor and these two movies take the cake.

Strange Brew has always been one of my favorites. It's corny, but hillarious. Full of quotes and cultural stereotypes. I love it, my wife hates it.

Raising Arizona
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Jeremiah Johnson
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
Full Metal Jacket
Team America: World Police

All of the above, seen way way too many times, to the point that I can recite the script. Mrs. Machine prefers not to watch anymore.

My favorites are sometimes the ones my wife really can't stand.
Animal House, Used Cars, Blazing Saddles,The Blues Brothers and all those Cheech & Chong movies. (I guess this is a sign of a demented sense of humor, but that's just what I like.)

Days of Thunder (my girlfriend hates Tom Cruise so I get the "eyes rolling" whenever it comes on). Still, I love that movie.

I too am a fan of Blazing Saddles, Strange Brew, and a few of the others posted up here.

Also, you can't forget Spies Like Us and Red Dawn.

As for the newer, funny stuff: Talledaga Nights, Dodgeball, Orange County... etc.
