In Bruges - brilliant dark comedy
Apocalypto - has comedy and a dark side
The Blues Brothers - just great
Independence Day - corny as hell but I love it
Life of Brian - we found a wooden spoon sir
Lord of the Rings - you either like it or hate it
Quadrophenia - know all the words, when a song kicks in - misspent youth and still misspending, many a time I’ve sat up drinking and reminiscing

Surprised no one's mentioned The Princess Bride.

Incidentally, over the last couple of weeks I've watched the entire run of Breaking Bad.

I think possibly you mean " Needful Things" which was made into a film in 1993 with Max von Sydow, Ed Harris and Bonnie Bedilia

Yep, that's right, Needful Things! I loved that book but hated the movie.

I love that movie, but wouldn't consider it a guilty pleasure. Isn't a guilty pleasure something that you don't really want someone to know you're watching? (or did I just write a list of movies that are not really my favorites and now people think they are ? (except Pride & Prejudice, that is my all time favorite movie. Mr. Darcy <sigh>))

Big Brother

This is the first year I have not watched it. I have watched every single season (excepting Season 9 that was just horrible that I stopped watching 4 weeks in- damned writers strike!!!) and I am really missing it this year. Live feeds make it the best voyeuristic reality TV show out there. Julie Chen is just awesome (But first...)

I do need to have a marathon and catch up on what is going down, but since internet is very limited right now, I am not able to ! Crying or Very sad

Definitely Princess Bride, I paraphrase it often enough. Very Happy

Anything Paranormal, and yes, Zach is a tool....he is like wathing Ghostfacers! from the show Supernatural....but he takes himself seriously. Laughing

SB, I think we lost the guilty pleasure thing two posts in Wink

^^^^

Yeah, I guess so. Many on that list are my favorite movies, I won't say which ones though. Laughing

Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2014 3:19 am

Quite impressed with Banshee, thought it was going to be a supernatural series....boy was I wrong... Laughing

Stephen King.....Carrie the Original film
The Dead Zone both the film and the TV series
Kingdom Hospital.........really weird !
Nightmares and Dreamscapes particularly liked " You know they got a Hell of a Band "

Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2014 6:37 am

^^ forgot about Dead Zone!

Misery
Pet Sematary - when Gage cuts the Jud's ankle with the scalpel. That still makes me cringe.
Cujo- I felt sorry for the dog too.
Cat's Eye- When I saw this as a kid, the little troll thing climbing up the girls blanket freaked me out. One night, I felt something land on my legs in my bed. I was so scared and knew it was that troll. My dad searched the bed and couldn't find anything. I slept on the couch. The next day I found a cricket in my room. Laughing

I'm pretty sure it was that. I still slept on the couch for a week, just to be sure.

Damn this thread, now I'm stuck with 21 episodes of stupid anime to watch. As if I didn't have anything better to do when I can finally afford to give myself a day off in the weekend!

For me it was the last page in the book when his wife comes back......slept with the lights on for three days !

That's funny that Princess Bride was mentioned. I worked on a book written by Cary Elwes a month or so ago that's all about the filming of it. Andre the Giant and him had some good times during the filming. I guess Andre could really drink. He was known to get so drunk that he'd pass out in the hotel lobby, and people had to step over him, and he'd wake up in the morning like it was no big deal.

So far as movies go, my favorite movie of all time is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It comes on TV a couple of times a year, and I always watch it. I loved that movie when I was a little kid, and I still do.

I would read that book, Doc.

Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:51 pm

^^It's a good book. I think it's due out in October. It has some good early reviews from the bound galleys/advance copies:

I agree. Wore out a VHS tape and a DVD watching that way too much.

Favorite TV show is Supernatural, have all the seasons and have managed to wear out a couple of those DVDs as well.
