Are There Any.. "Silly" Movies.. That You Just.. Love?

[Mitchell]

I want to make clear that my intent with this thread is NOT to be condescending, or insulting,to ,or about, any forms of entertainment or movies.

My question is:

Are there any movies that or which people might consider.. "Silly". which you just love to watch?

One movie that comes to mind, and which I hadn't seen for many years, until finding it recently on Youtube..

The Chase.. With Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson..

I've watched it a couple of times since finding it on Youtube.

Some of the scenes in the movie, are just.. ridiculous.. yet..

I really like the movie, and think it has a certain "human aspect and quality" to it, in spite of the silliness and corny scenes.

White Chicks- very low brow, but entertaining.

Anything that involves the muppets, the most recent film was a bit rubbish though!

Predator, my favourite Arnie film, so quoteable!

The police spoof Naked Gun movies are a favorite. That scene where Leslie Nielsen ends up as an umpire at a baseball game is a classic.

My shameful pleasure is the Disney film made for children, the original The Parent Trap, made in 1961. (Not the remake or any of the sequels.)
Anybody who has seen it would know why. 😀

Thanks.

Joe, I loved the original Naked Gun movie, and I agree with you that the Leslie Nelsen umpire scene is a classic, especially the scene where he comes out to the pitching mound, and finds sandpaper, Vaseline, and other things on the guy pitching. Any of those substances, would get a pitcher automatically ejected, from a real baseball game, and yet Nelsen just left the pitcher in the game, and patted him on the back.

Oh god, so many! I'm generally a fan of cheesy, goofy, or otherwise bad movies:
The Tim Burton/Joel Shumaker Batman movies
Speed Racer (yes, the live-action one where the actors are basically in a completely CGI world. Soooooo bad, yet sooooo much fun to watch!)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The Star Wars Prequels (YES, REALLY. DAFUQ YOU GON' DO ABOUT IT??)
Any number of old Disney flicks
The Swan Princess
James and the Giant Peach
Weird Science... is that cheesy? I'm not sure, I think it is... But I love it anywho.
Any number of "bad" superhero movies, including The Fantastic 4 (and the sequel), Green Lantern, ALL of the X-Men movies, Ghost Rider, and the original Spider-Man trilogy.

Caddyshack ftw!

Head greens keeper: I want you to kill every gopher on the course!
Carl Spackler: Check me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...
Head greens keeper: Gophers, ya great git! Not golfers! The little brown furry rodents!
Carl Spackler: We can do that... we don't even have to have a reason.

I want my two dollars!

 

[Bizkit]

''Scary Movie'' and ''Half Baked'' come to mind as fantastic silly movies.

 

[giggleBrat]

Hahaha!! You got it!

 

[Utterson]

The Room
Birdemic
Titanic: The Animated Movie

Basically any movie that's SO bad you just have to sit back and wonder just how it ever got made in the first place.

 

[Tickle Fiend]

Sugar and Spice.

Airplane II: The Sequel. Even though the team of Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker, who brought us the original Airplane! and also created the Naked Gun series which others have mentioned here, had nothing to do with it and perhaps because of that the flick was critically panned, I always thought in many ways it surpassed the first movie. As a budding linguist--and already a certified neurotic--at the time of its 1982 release, I particularly loved the "Buddy couldn't handle it/Andy went to pieces/Howie came unglued" bit.
