Real talk, that is not a movie ANYONE is ashamed of liking.
Everyone fucking LOVES Army Of Darkness.
It's one of the greatest movies of all time.
Anyhow, I don't give a damn what people think about what I like.
I'm a 6'1" manly man viking looking dude -
My favorite movie is probably Roman Holiday.
I love Garden State, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Romeo+Juliet, (500)Days of Summer, Across The Universe, The Devil Wears Prada, and Veronica Mars is my second favorite TV show, and I think My Little Pony:Friendship Is Magic is pretty great.
I have no issue admitting to the "embarrassing" stuff I like, and outside of the "girly" stuff I don't even know of any movies I like that one might imagine that I'd be embarrassed by.
There are Alpha Wolves who lead the pack, Beta Wolves who follow the pack, and Omega Wolves who give no shits about what a pack thinks.
I'm an Omega Wolf.
I rarely get along with guys, since apparently I find the Alphas and Betas intolerable. So in general I tend to find guys harder to respect than women, and as a result my closest friends are 6 women and only 2 guys.
As said, Army Of Darkness is one of the greatest movies of all time. It's AMAZING. It's also cheesy as all hell. Is that supposed to somehow be embarrassing?
Starship Troopers is a dumb movie that's pretty cool because of all the Imperial Guardsmen fighting Tyranids. Suuuper cheesy. Should I be embarrassed?
I love superhero movies. That used to be "embarrassing" and now it's the popular thing.
As far as I'm concerned the rest of the world is just catching up to my tastes.
I'm really genuinely having a hard time thinking of a movie it would even hypothetically be embarrassing to like.
People have mentioned
- Transformers - love 1, hate 2, 3's fairly good
- Godzilla '98 - still my favorite Godzilla thus far. Good movie.
- Disney Princess stuff - Beauty & The Beast, Tangled, and Brave are fantastic. Can't wait to see Frozen. Who the hell doesn't like Mulan? WTF?
- Reign Of Fire - How can anyone NOT like a movie full of dragons, smoldering ruins, fire, smoke, and an angry axe-wielding Batman?
- Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Not a great movie, but the only real problems with it were monkeys, swinging on vines fast enough to keep up with racing jeeps, and sword fighting in racing jeeps. (Oh, and technically the nuked fridge is scientifically sound, except that they animated the blastwave incorrectly. Still a big eyeroll scene though.) The crystal skull and aliens themselves were great. No less weird than the McGuffins from Raiders or Last Crusade, and crystal skull & alien lore is already a long established thing of actual legends and mythology. Hell, there was already a whole episode of Stargate SG-1 about it loooong before the Indiana Jones movie came out.
- Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 & 3 - Great movies. Anyone who likes the first one but not the second and third ones wither hasn't thought the 1st one through properly, or hasn't thought the second and third through properly.
Nothing about those movies is weirder than skeleton-ghost pirates, and the deepest parts of the first movie's storyline are what the other two are all about.
Now the FOURTH movie....THAT is where the series started to get aimless and dull.
- Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - It was kinda cool, and AMAZING CGI for the time.
- Equestria Girls - As said, I like MLP:FiM....and SOMEHOW Equestria Girls was actually a REALLY good movie....despite the weird as all fuck humanoid ponies... No idea how they pulled that off, but they did.
- Daredevil - The Director's Cut is actually pretty good. Most of that movie's problems are Elektra and Evanescence.
- Meet The Robinsons - That's a great movie. I actually take mild offense on behalf of human imagination and the spirit of creativity that people don't like that movie.
- Iron Man 3 - Anyone who doesn't think it was a good movie is just wrong. Thier opinions are bad, and they should feel bad.
- Star Trek Into Darkness - GREAT movie. Waaaaay better than the first one.
- Amazing Spider-Man - It's good...mostly. Garfield is a better Spider-Man, but they really screwed up the Lizard, and making all of the villains products of Oscorp is a stupid mistake.
It's bad enough having the whole Marvel universe battle in New York on a daily basis, but having an entire rogue's gallery produced from a single huge mad science factory in the middle of town...COME THE FUCK ON....
- Monty Python And The Holy Grail is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Certainly the Pythons' very best.
- Jumanji - Great movie.
Oh! I'll add Rush Hour.
People don't seem to properly respect Rush Hour.
Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2 are awesome. Rush Hour 3...not so much.
