I love watching Love Actually just to see Bill Nighy's scenes (And to see Joanna Page in the buff but that's another story).

Nobody plays fucked up old rockers better than him.

Weekend at Bernies 1 and 2. I love 2 a bit more than the first one though.

The Story of Riki-oh, god that film is so awful. :laughing:

I adore Riki-Oh!

One film immediately springs to mind:

Only video game film I really enjoy.

Once stayed up until 4:30 AM watching:

And maybe sort of kind of might have liked it.

No matter how much I watch it, I can never get tired of Ginger Snaps. All 3 of them

Ah, Gymkata was brilliant :D You gotta love a film with romantic interests that suddenly just disappears from the plot, James Bond super tools that are introduced but never used, a city which is only inhabited by only insane criminals who, frankly, what the hell do they do all day when there's no race? Walk around with masks on backwards? This is just the tip of the ice berg. There's just too much unintentional idiocy in that one to not like it.

I can also join the ranks of those who like the sometimes atrocious Kung Pow.

Otherwise, my guilty pleasures are mainly cheap horror flicks, for example I enjoyed basically all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Acting and plot and so on sucks for the most part, but you got people dying in all sorts of crazy ways and dreamscapes and general style over substance which still has charm. I'm also a sucker for all things Lovecraft inspired, regardless of how good quality it actually is .. Films like Re-Animator 2: Bride of the Re-Animator, From Beyond and Dagon are movies I enjoy.

I love how the film was put together, what with all the different though connected stories of each character. I actually quite enjoyed it until the last 20-30 minutes, which were just painfully schmaltzy. The story strands with Alan Rickman and Bil Nighy in them were far and away my favourites of the lot all the same.

1. Gabriel Byrne (best depiction of Satan since De Niro in Angel Heart)
2. Elderly Satanist (there is nothing cuter than a group of old people worshiping Satan....this is the best group since Rosemary's Baby)

Gabriel Byrne is pretty badass in this, but I'd put Al Pacino in the Devil's Advocate above him in my estimations, mostly because the lord of darkness isn't a bit stupid like in End Of Days, which is a slight flaw for me.

And, yeah, watching Arnie getting beaten up by that old woman was the highlight of the whole thing :D

Haha Tore, good call posting Kung Pow. I remember at the end they said watch for Kung Pow 2 but I think it was just a joke.

Haha, yeah, appearantly the trailer is mostly made out of "deleted" scenes from the first :) The trailer was just a creative way to use that spare footage I guess.
