list which dvds or blu rays you own that you feel embarrassed for having in your collection. maybe its a kid movie or a movie that got horrible reviews and just about everyone hates it but you own it. maybe some films you gotta hide before your friends come over.

Why buy them? Were they crappy gifts? stick out tongue

Really, if you like a film enough to have it in your collection, who cares what anyone else thinks.

Finding Nemo? I don't think anyone would be 'embarrassed' to have that in their collection. Pixar films can be enjoyed just a much by adults.

Also, if I saw Superman Returns in someones collection, I wouldn't think much about it, I don't think much of the film, but nothing to be embarrassed about in my eyes.

Say someone had Norbit in their collection, I'd be a film snob then and slap them for spending money on such rubbish. Now that's an embarrasing film!!

It's a classic, you actually gain cool points for owning it, now amend your list mad

Well yes that's different... your topic came across as asking for films you are embarrased to have. I have quite a few that critics and the majority hated but I like and own.

MildPossession
What is your silly problem? All I said in my first post was that I didn't have any films in my collection that I'm embarrassed about, and I'm giving my OPINION, in a topic where anyone can post, that you shouldn't be embarrassed with films you like.


Anyway...

Mamma Mia is one I have in my collection that a lot of people hated. Same for Doomsday by the director Neil Marshall.

i own daredevil directors cut on blu ray. hey it was only $8 bucks at bestbuy. go ahead laugh its cool i can take the heat. i deserve it

This shameful movie beats anything before it and anything to come in this thread.

Battle Warrior (aka Mission Hunter 2) by Panna Rittikrai starring Tony Jaa (for like 10 minutes). You MUST watch it English dub. Its the funniest thing Iv'e ever seen by far.

I say that it's understandable to own any movie that is in a good series. I own some bad movies that I'm not embarrassed about because I felt like completing the series and I found good deals (the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels).

Any Eddie Murphy film since 2000 is an embarrassing film (except for the Shrek movies, of course). Well, I can forgive I Spy.

Don't listen to him. The question isn't about movies that you like but other people hated. If you own a movie and aren't ashamed of it, then good for you. Don't mention it.

Doomsday thumb up

No laughs from here. I own it too. Elektra too.

I owned both cuts of the movie on DVD before (the original DVD for all the features and the director's cut DVD for the better movie). It was nice that we got the best of both worlds with the Blu-ray. But because I'm a completist, I think it needs the PG-13 cut.

That statement makes me think maybe you haven't seen a lot of zombie movies? I'm not just talking about Romero's, Return of the Living Dead, and Shaun of the Dead. But there are so many cheap zombie movies that come out every year that are just painful to watch.

Watch Zombie Honeymoon, then call Dead Snow the worst again.

I've made some really bad dvd buys.
but im not ashamed of any of them.

Lord Shadow Z
Ninja Tiger Part 1, 2 and 3.

Even if they are silly martial arts movies (with funny costuming) there are some good fights in it and one of the main female characters is very attractive so it's a hard movie set to let go.

Those aren't bad flicks, at all, imo. I wouldn't be embarassed to own those. Zardoz is a classic cult film. big grin The Meet the Parents movies are quite popular. Medicine man is not remarkable but it isn't bad or amazing, either.


I'm with MP: I didn't buy any movies I didn't want...so I've nothing to be ashamed of. However, my collection is like...less than 50 large. I would be more ashamed of owning a movie that I did not watch more than 2 times because that's just a waste of money, imo.

Think I've got that beat.
Spirited Warrior- This is easily the worst film in my collection and something I own because it said it featured Tony Jaa (for what I'm guessing is another ten minutes. lol Cause I didn't see him).
That movie was so bad I had to turn it off even though I only had it on while I was working on art... man it's aweful.

Beyond that most of my movies fit into some cult status, or I own out of nastalgia.
There's a TON of movies I probably "should" be ashamed of owning and loving but I love them for one reason or another:
Masters of the Universe
The Last Dragon
The Warriors
Monster Squad
Doom
Van Helsing
The Marine
Dragon Wars
The Family Man
Hot Rod
The One
Dragonslayer and a few others.

I've got movies that I feel "ashamed" or akward about when I'm watching them with other people like:
Oldboy
American Psycho
and Rules of


Annnd then there's just those few out and out duds in the collection that have no place anywhere which I somehow picked up along the way either as a gift or for reasons unknown even to me:
Superman Returns
Snake-Crane Secret
Zu Warriors
Texas Chainsaw part 2
Lady in the Water
Pirates of the Carribbean 3.
Now THOSE are some bad ****in movies.

I only have a few that I never really liked.

Bad Boys II, A Lowdown Dirty Shame, and Cradle 2 The Grave.

I have a relatively short DVD collection, but those are the only ones I never really liked.

Rocky Horror is a classic.

And you can justify owning Batman & Robin as long as you have all the other Batman movies.

Glad I'm not alone! Everyone I've come across so far in life has hated The Village with a passion but I thought it was hauntingly beautiful!

The Craft is such good fun.

Lake Placid. most people prefer rogue over Lake placid. I just liked Lake placid more because it involed different scenes in more than just one area. Rogues is all in just one area stuck on land trying to cross over the water.

There's nothing to be ashamed about for The Craft. It's a good film. And I'm surprised to see the Pirates Trilogy on your list.

Gone in 60 Seconds is just plain fun. It's one of those Nic Cage movies that you can just sit back and enjoy and not overthink about. Jumper is like that too.

Unbreakable, you either love it or you hate it. I don't think it would be an embarrassment.

Dude, Where's My Car? is a guilty pleasure of mine as well. I own it. I probably wouldn't bring myself to own My Boss's Daughter because it was kind of a mess of a movie. It had some laughs though.

Van Helsing and LXG are guilty pleasures too.

I think anyone who owns Jersey Girl probably owns everything from Kevin Smith. Is that you?

I just got Timeline about a year ago. It's a fun flick. Nothing to be ashamed about.

I got it on sale the other day. The only reason I got it was because I was completing my Howling collection. It was bad and laughable. But since you seem to be a Christopher Lee fan, I don't think anyone could convince you of that.

Undead's great. Nothing wrong with it. Shame on anyone who mocks it. Same goes for Hellbound.

Doomsday, overall, is good, IMO. It has its weird moments, but it's a film I would recommend to anyone.

The Shadow is a guilty pleasure of mine.

I don't think most people would mock you for the TMNT movies. I, personally, haven't enjoyed TMNT since I was 9. But to each his own.

I assume since you have Resident Evil: Apocalypse, you have all the other movies. Your collection wouldn't be complete without it, so no shame there. Again, personally, not my taste.

Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th is way better than the first Scary Movie, IMO. It's goofy like a spoof movie should be. I love the gag where the teens keep getting the "I Know What You Did..." letters.

The Frighteners is great. That's all I can say about that.

Nightbreed isn't for everyone. It's not mockable, IMO, though.

I have the first four Police Academy movies. I forget when exactly they when from okay to bad. Since you probably have the first, no shame in owning the rest because there are some good laughs in each of them.

House 2, Creepshow 2, and Wayne's World 2 are all sequels that live up to their originals, IMO. House 2, at times, even exceeds the original, I think.

Wishmaster 1 and 2 are great horror camp. I never saw the third but after seeing the fourth, I feel it's a safe bet that the third wasn't any good.

I own Jurassic Park 3 too just because it came in the trilogy set. I could've bought the first two individually or the three-pack for the same price.

And you should be ashamed of the first Wrong Turn, let alone Wrong Turn 2! stick out tongue

I think Problem Child lands in the nostalgia category. It's clearly a movie meant for kids, just as Dennis the Menace is. Looking back, adding a girl version of the Junior was an ingredient of a bad sequel, but I enjoyed both of them as a kid. I haven't seen them since I was a kid so I can't say for sure how they would hold up to me now.

And the Muppet movies do not belong in this thread. They are classics. mad stick out tongue

If I could drain the essence of any man (no homo) it would be Christopher Lee.
laughing out loud

Women would drop their clothes off around me as I walk down the street.
I would arrive home to a harem of hot uber babes, hot and heavy to sate my carnal desires.
I would rise through the ranks of political and social groups quickly as world leaders would be hypnotised by my voice and intense sexual charisma.
I would become leader of the world and at last the world .....would know true peace. sob.

In space two great Golden Statues will be erected. One of Christopher and one of me. 50 times bigger than the moon. To show the aliens that the line will be drawn here and soon I too will be their loving master.

Sunday would become Ninjakday. And all shall bow before me.
