I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around the fact that Tom digs Limp Bizkit. Try to picture him earnestly singing, "keep rollin', rollin', rollin'. " I have to reevaluate my own life now, because of this
Ah that scene in The Wedding Singer where Drew ask Adam how he’s doing and he says I’m okay I guess. So real, and their chemistry was amazing. Also, Beautiful Girls was actually quite memorable as well:)
I would say another guilty pleasure pick (which Red Letter Media and AO Scott have defended) is Freddie Got Fingered, which seemed to have an influence on another film I like, The Fanatic!
Is it really though? I'm starting to get curious. I think I've only seen the red letter media review so I just disregarded it as some stupid so bad it's good movie.
Let My Puppets Come (1976) is a deep cut guilty pleasure for me. It's not mainstream at all. I would still probably think about turning it off if someone walked into the room. It's not the best puppetry or set construction I've ever seen on film, not even from the 1970s, but director Gerard Damiano's vision comes through in the 75 minute puppet soft core porn parody released the same year Henson was first airing Muppet Show.
I have to mention, I had a friend who was going through a painful breakup and he wrote a song for the woman "I Want to Grow Old With You"-- it didn't work. Then he had to see Adam Sandler sing basically the exact same song in that movie which was just insult on injury. I wonder if thousands of guys have written basically that same song!!??
But it's not terrible at all! It's really good! It's sci-fi and drama and thriller and romantic comedy! It has it all! And it has that legendary Times Square scene.
A Sigur Ros and Cut Chemist reference in the same ep -- my 2001 era self would be pleased. My guilty pleasure is Nightmare on Elm Street 4. Not the best entry in the franchise, but easily my favorite.
After hearing your criteria I'm changing my pick to "Beaches" and "A League of Their Own". Both films bring me to tears every time. Also, I will always watch "The Wedding Singer".
Wedding Singer is one of the few Adam Sandler movies I enjoyed enough to rewatch. It may be the best thing he ever did. Most of his movies are so forgettable.
I agree. It was the most fun to watch and Adam was actually likeable. He was obnoxious in Billy Madison. Little Nicky was awful. Though the fight with Happy Gilmore was funny. Bob Barker should have clobbered Joe Flaherty's character for being a distraction to Happy. I can't believe Bob did not even appear to bebothered by it.
Beautiful Girls definitely doesn't count. It's just a good film. (The guy who wrote it grew up like two towns away from me: it's totally my small Massachusetts town.) Matt Dillon sports a Husker Du t-shirt for chrissake. Okay, Uma Thurman is kinda cringe, and so is the Rappaport monologue, but the rest is pretty much awesome. Oh, right, and I could have done without Rosie O'Donnell.
i LOVE the Wedding Singer. I think it works so well because it is very earnest and the chemistry of Sandman & Barrymore works so much. Prior to everything being about the 80s, this film doesn't overplay that aspect unlike everything nowadays saying, "Look at us, we're in the 80s, dude!" There should be a 1 Fn Hour on The Wedding Singer so it gives a reason for Marcus to watch this film. A pure Guilty Pleasure of mine, Jersey Girl. IDK why but it really gets to me. If given the choice of watching a Kevin Smith film, that is one i'd choose Tom is the MAN! "My Ge-Ge-Generation!"
Oliver Stone's Alexander - it's appalling but the fact he brought out four versions (I have all of them) still amazes me, his seeming conviction that shifting the scenes and narrative structure would ever work! The third version is a particular favourite, in a GP way.
Rock Star is the one Steven Herek film I haven't seen, but the clips I've seen on RUclips are incredible, as you describe. He's the great director of the 1990s, I have a whole thesis on this
Tom gives an example of boomer ultra cringe from the movie Patch Adams: "Looking into the eyes of children and smiling..." Who hurt you, Tom?? It'll be okay, big guy, I swear! Lol Also, to throw out a guilty pleasure of mine would be Hamburger Hill. Total cornball cliche veteran dialogue almost the entire movie, but something about it makes me want to revisit it every so often.
I see yours and raise you a Cool as Ice starring Vanilla Ice, which I saw in the movies in the early 90s. Then I saw it last year and then again a few months ago. Loved it every time. I'm also not proud of how many times I've watched One Fine Day starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney.
I’m commenting before getting too far into this to point out that a movie that you’re clearly watching cause of the copious amount of nudity that ranks high for you due to the actor(s) involved would definitely be a guilty pleasure for me. “Two Moon Junction” and “Blame It on Rio” would qualify. I saw Sherilyn Fenn at a convention talk about how much she disliked “Two Moon Junction” cause she thought it would be a love story rather than about two characters in lust with each other. I have to admit I felt guilty when I later told her I actually liked that movie. I’m sure she was disappointed to hear that but shrugged it off anyway. As for “Blame It on Rio,” it’s really awful, and Michael Caine genuinely seems embarrassed to be in it. (And considering some of the other crap he’s been in, that’s definitely saying something.) But holy cow, is Michelle Johnson something to behold in that piece of crap! I’ve never bothered to get it on DVD, but I could certainly watch it again if I had the opportunity to. Oh, and then there’s Pia Zadora in “Butterfly” and “The Lonely Lady.” I suppose those border on good-bad movies though.
Okay, now that I’ve watched the whole video, I can add some more. “To Sir with Love” is a low-level favorite with a terrific performance by Poitier, a song I genuinely love, and a story that set the stage for other teacher-who-has-a-profound-impact-on-students films. “Great Balls of Fire” is fun despite having a terrible lead performance by Dennis Quaid. “King Kong Escapes” is a childhood favorite that I still dig. “The Poseidon Adventure” is my favorite Seventies disaster movie. As far as rom-coms go, “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one I really like. There’s an anime called “Project A-Ko” that’s unbelievably bonkers, but it’s never mentioned by fans of the genre. But honestly, I don’t really feel guilty about any of those. Ogling Michelle Johnson in “Blame It on Rio” is something to feel guilty about!
The *try-hardness* probably stems from Hollywood’s attempt to sell the Cruise-Cruz romance. Granted, the campaign wasn’t as cringy as *Benifer* during *Gigli*, but still
I better understand the criteria after hearing Evan’s 2nd choice. While I was originally thinking either Popeye The Movie or Craven’s Swamp Thing, I have to go with 2005’s The Island. I even own the dvd. Lol!
My guilty pleasures are "Terms of Endearment" and "Moonstruck", since Tom (and I'm with Tom, plus I never liked Steven Soderbergh's movies at all) also included a tv show, I'll also include the tv show "The Love Boat" lol!. Imo, "The Wedding Singer", the excellent and very funny comedy. Also, I saw "Fight Club" in the cinema, and couldn't wait to get it on dvd (one of my first), but over the years, I realized, it is really cringe, but in a way, I still love it, "secretly".
Great episode guys. Question for all of you please. If Patch Addams is unfiltered Boomer, which movies you suggest are unfiltered pure Gen X, and Millennial, and Gen Z.? Thank you.
Where was John Cusack on your lists? I feel like 'Say Anything' and 'High Fidelity' should be high in y'alls sights, somehow. I was wondering if they really qualify? I love those movies but looking back, I feel like they're a little off and cringeworthy. Even 'School of Rock' has that comfort food 'feels a little embarrassing to be liking this' kind of vibe, even though it's a very well made movie. I am definitely with Marcus on Amelie and Bridesmaids (which immediately pooped into my mind before watching your vid) though, for sure
No guilt detected in Son in Law. I recently re-watched that and Encino Man and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They're silly and wholesome and nostalgic. And now all I can think about is Pauly Shore being punched in the nose and dropping to the fetal position 😂
I may have seen Chasing Amy. I don't quite remember. But I saw "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" for the second time in years, last week. The pleasure was watching Silent Bob, Judd Nelson as the Utah Sheriff and that cute girl with the glasses... I can't remember the actress name. But Jay was so obnoxious. I could not stand him.
Besides maybe the music and the fashion, Chasing Amy really shouldn't be a guilty pleasure. It's a genuinely great romantic comedy that I think was unfairly maligned for years.
Sex and The City I don't feel at all guilty about liking. For what it is, it's great. And Girls is a great riff on it. I'm not the target audience for it but that doesn't make me feel guilty. The Wedding Singer is just a great movie. The Spectacular Now is bad? I liked it. Not perfect but it had its merits. I want to see the Fanatic. Was Beautiful Girls the movie where the guy drives a snowplow and dumps snow on his ex's driveway every night or something? That was on in the background at one point and I thought it looked really bad.
The first two were truly shameful. All of those Richard Curtis' films are garbage and Sex in the City is trash as well. I don't see why the Oceans movies are guilty pleasures. Just decent popcorn movies.
I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around the fact that Tom digs Limp Bizkit. Try to picture him earnestly singing, "keep rollin', rollin', rollin'. " I have to reevaluate my own life now, because of this
Ah that scene in The Wedding Singer where Drew ask Adam how he’s doing and he says I’m okay I guess. So real, and their chemistry was amazing. Also, Beautiful Girls was actually quite memorable as well:)
I’ve rewatched rockstar several times. I’m glad I’m not alone. Truly an embarrassing guilty pleasure.
18:23 “Long, pink, and mean” harkens back to Carrie’s [voiceover] phallic description of the rose that Richard gave Samantha
Us fans talk about OFH like it's Sex In the City.
"I'm a Marcus."
"Quit being such a Tom, girl."
HAHA
The Fanatic is actually better than most recent Hollywood movies. And props to Travolta, because he is REALLY into it.
Big time agree!
I would say another guilty pleasure pick (which Red Letter Media and AO Scott have defended) is Freddie Got Fingered, which seemed to have an influence on another film I like, The Fanatic!

@@themadmattster9647 Freddy got Fingered is fucking hilarious
Almost Famous as a guilty pleasure?! AF is a GREAT movie, no guilt there.
Let My Puppets Come (1976) is a deep cut guilty pleasure for me. It's not mainstream at all. I would still probably think about turning it off if someone walked into the room.

Robin Williams's Toys is one of mine

Then he had to see Adam Sandler sing basically the exact same song in that movie which was just insult on injury. I wonder if thousands of guys have written basically that same song!!??
Blast From the Past is one of mine. It’s just so clever and Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken are a revelation!
Ah yes! Vanilla Sky! It’s terrible but if it’s on I’m watching.
But it's not terrible at all! It's really good! It's sci-fi and drama and thriller and romantic comedy! It has it all! And it has that legendary Times Square scene.
I used to go salsa dancing with Helen Fielding and she was super charismatic.
Mine: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. My go-to sick-day watch.
i truly adore this movie! The victorian set design is amazing
A Sigur Ros and Cut Chemist reference in the same ep -- my 2001 era self would be pleased.
My guilty pleasure is Nightmare on Elm Street 4. Not the best entry in the franchise, but easily my favorite.
The fourth one is as entertaining as the third. The roach girl scene is underrated/gross. Ya dig?! 🎉
After hearing your criteria I'm changing my pick to "Beaches" and "A League of Their Own". Both films bring me to tears every time. Also, I will always watch "The Wedding Singer".
Wedding Singer is one of the few Adam Sandler movies I enjoyed enough to rewatch. It may be the best thing he ever did. Most of his movies are so forgettable.
Hard to believe Sandler just got a Mark Twain Award....it's like Limbaugh getting presidential Medal of Freedom.
@@MsLizChatham It is a bit strange.
I agree. It was the most fun to watch and Adam was actually likeable. He was obnoxious in Billy Madison. Little Nicky was awful. Though the fight with Happy Gilmore was funny. Bob Barker should have clobbered Joe Flaherty's character for being a distraction to Happy. I can't believe Bob did not even appear to bebothered by it.
@@TheSoleProprietor I think Adam Sandler works better in skits and short pieces than carrying a movie for two hours.
First line of dialogue in *The Fanatic*: “I can’t talk right now. I gotta poo” 🙈
Beautiful Girls definitely doesn't count. It's just a good film. (The guy who wrote it grew up like two towns away from me: it's totally my small Massachusetts town.) Matt Dillon sports a Husker Du t-shirt for chrissake. Okay, Uma Thurman is kinda cringe, and so is the Rappaport monologue, but the rest is pretty much awesome.

Tom is the MAN! "My Ge-Ge-Generation!"
Wow thats a good one!
Holy shit, watching Bridgette Jones diary while working out
Sitting in my favorite Mexican Restaurant watching this on the big screen
I feel nobody knows about Beautiful Girls. Love it very much!
I felt really let down when I finally saw it
Oliver Stone's Alexander - it's appalling but the fact he brought out four versions (I have all of them) still amazes me, his seeming conviction that shifting the scenes and narrative structure would ever work! The third version is a particular favourite, in a GP way.
Still waiting on part 2! We need that sequel guys! Please and thank you🫶🏻

Tom has some trauma, I feel bad for him when the movie is gritty.
Hamburger hill has some wild kills, like real slasher shit.
Hamburger Hill is one of the worst movies I have ever seen lol
Showgirls is a TRUE guilty pleasure!! But I could honestly care who walks in and sees me watching it.
I always loved Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas , then you guys started talking shit about it lol lets go with that.
Another guilty pleasure is Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore.
I see yours and raise you a Cool as Ice starring Vanilla Ice, which I saw in the movies in the early 90s. Then I saw it last year and then again a few months ago. Loved it every time. I'm also not proud of how many times I've watched One Fine Day starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney.

My guilty pleasure: The Replacements Killers. I could proudly ⌚ it anytime
My guilty pleasure has gotta be Mommie Dearest 😂
I don’t know if you call them guilty pleasures, but possibly cringe for other people, yet, I think they’re really good…
The Mexican
Ishtar
Mordecai
My guilty pleasure is ........................"Hello Dolly" (1968) .
My guilty pleasures are "Terms of Endearment" and "Moonstruck", since Tom (and I'm with Tom, plus I never liked Steven Soderbergh's movies at all) also included a tv show, I'll also include the tv show "The Love Boat" lol!. Imo, "The Wedding Singer", the excellent and very funny comedy.
Also, I saw "Fight Club" in the cinema, and couldn't wait to get it on dvd (one of my first), but over the years, I realized, it is really cringe, but in a way, I still love it, "secretly".
Terms of Endearment is a great film, full stop. No need to feel any guilt over that film.
But, truthfully, I have the world’s guiltiest pleasure, “Same Time, Next Year” which I play on a loop all day long. Truly corny.
Great episode guys. Question for all of you please. If Patch Addams is unfiltered Boomer, which movies you suggest are unfiltered pure Gen X, and Millennial, and Gen Z.? Thank you.
Pretty much every Roland Emmerich film
Where was John Cusack on your lists? I feel like 'Say Anything' and 'High Fidelity' should be high in y'alls sights, somehow. I was wondering if they really qualify?

Amelie and High Fidelity are just great films I don’t get why one would be guilty liking those
I would program Fanatic as a midnighter haha. My GP would be the 1993 film “Son in Law” starring Pauly Shore.
No guilt detected in Son in Law. I recently re-watched that and Encino Man and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They're silly and wholesome and nostalgic. And now all I can think about is Pauly Shore being punched in the nose and dropping to the fetal position 😂
Mine is Clueless. My shameless guilty pleasure film.

Don't u dare dis Spiritualized homie
Dis Fred Durst direct Population 437? I know he is in it?
I agree. I love that movie! Otherwise, AS is horrible.
YAY!!!

45:04 Speaking of traveling and *hoteling* for work, how about an episode on *1408*?
AHX is an amazing movie!
