sharing the shame publically

[sarea]

Now that I'm not drowning with work (as much), I've been finding some time to write. I've got 35 pages of a "one-shot" written. Hahahahha. As of yet I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I hope to finish the part I'm working on today so I can move on to the next part at freaking last.

gnrationfo was inspired by my feel-good movies list, and he wanted to know what our top 10 guilty-pleasure movies were. What follows is truly embarassing, but I know I'm not the only person who's enjoyed these movies (well, maybe one of them)! I know some of you enjoy even more shameful movies. Anyway, tell me what they are. I need to return some DVDs to Blockbuster and might pick up some others. Hahahahahaa.

But jade_okelani is not allowed to respond to this post. She gets far too crazy and anal, yelling at me for coming up with my movie lists too quickly, that favorite movies of any kind can't just be decided on willy nilly, that there must be hours of thought behind it ... then when she actually has a final list, she follows it up (wibbling the whole time) with paragraphs and paragraphs of why she chose this movie or that ... and if it turns out she's missed a movie, then it's ranting about how this is why she doesn't do lists. Oh, you'd think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not.

You see, despite all outward appearances, I'm actually the sane one.

My Top 10 Guilty-Pleasure Movies

From Least Guilty to Most Guilty:

10. The Cutting Edge: This is, like, everyone's favorite guilty pleasure movie, so I feel the least guilty about it. <g>

9. Final Destination: It's really good for what it is! Really! Though the guiltiest part about this is that I rather like the alternate ending on the DVD.

8. The Faculty: A very well done B film, but a B film it is. I so dig Josh Hartnett/Famke Janssen, and who can forget hero Elijah Wood?!

7. Playing God: David Duchovny is sooooo pretty in this movie, it's ridiculous. Ditto Angelina Jolie. And there's a semblance of a plot. Sort of.

6. Wild America: OMG three hot boys trekking across America and sometimes rough housing w/ each other and taking their shirts off. Really, I couldn't ask for more. Damn that Devon Sawa for making this list twice.

5. Cocktail: Elisabeth Shue and Tom Cruise find love in a tropical paradise. Complete with asshole-who-has-to-crawl-on-his-knee scenes and the added bonus of unexpected pregnancy!

4. The Sweetest Thing: I love Cameron and Christina. They're funny and lameass and their friendship is perfect. This movie definitely goes too far, too often, but that's why it's a guilty pleasure.

3. Universal Soldier: Probably Jean-Claude Van Damme's best movie. I love everything about it. Teehee!!

2. The Blue Lagoon: Young Brooke Shields finds love amidst the palm fronds with a curly-haired blond guy. Lots of beaches and bare skin and "oh gee, where does this go?"!!

1. Pearl Harbor: Really, there's not much I can say about this one. Though in my very slight defense, I enjoy all the parts that don't have to do w/ Ben, best.

Edit: OMG I totally forgot "Overboard." I love it, and it's so GP. And also "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead."

I know!! And he's not even good looking!!!

Never saw Valentine. My love for David Boreanaz does not stretch that far. Oooh, but I LOVE Cruel Intentions. See, I wouldn't even call that a guilty pleasure, though. I think that's actually a good movie, and I am not ashamed of liking it!
