View Full Version : Guilty pleasures. Kittencat 02-03-2005, 12:50 PM You know the ones. The films you pretend to hate but secretly love. The ones the critics panned but have a place in your heart. What are your guilty movie pleasures? :D Crystal Lights 02-03-2005, 02:42 PM Well a recent film i saw and absolutely loved but which was slated by the critic was M Night Shymalyn(sp?) - director of sixth sense, "The Village"...i absolutely loved this movie - great performances from a fantastic cast the gorgeous Jaoqin Phoinix, William Hurt, Bryce Dallas Howard and a truly scarey, forboding atmospheric tale.... I also absolutely love movies that a fair few people dont seem to take to like The Truman show and Eternal sunshine of the spotlesss mind... I must think of a few others Becks 02-03-2005, 07:07 PM Still have a love affair with Robin hood prince of thiefs. I watched so much as a teenager that I learned it word for word. I have cut down my viewing considerably now.
