This was written on the train on my iPhone so please forgive no links or images.
I sat and watched the new version of St Trinian’s last night, a film I’ve seen before, but counts towards my 100 films.
It’s a good giggle of a film and one I really enjoyed, but couldn’t help feeling it was a bit of a guilty pleasure, I mean, it’s aimed at teenagers and is really rather silly, that doesn’t stop it being enjoyable!
And it got me thinking about other films I feel are slight guilty pleasures.
One has to be Bandslam which is one of our favourites! Another teen film with an awesome soundtrack.
Another one I love is Calamity Jane a Doris Day musical set in the wild west. This one makes me giggle, and cry and I love it.
More chick flicks in the form of 27 Dresses this is a film I never thought I’d enjoy but love o settle down and watch any time, nothing beats the “Benny and the Jets”
Scene!
Now of course, there is nothing wrong with any of these films, but I guess they aren’t really cool or edgy, but they are really enjoyable, and surely, sometimes that’s all you want from a movie?
What are your guilty pleasures?! Be brave and share with the group!
Me and JD saw Bandslam at the cinema and loved it. 27 Dresses is one of my favourites – I love the Bennie and The Jets bit too! However I don’t like how he disses her love of a filofax – it can’t be helped – get over it lol.
The American President – I’m sure I’ve seen it like 100 times but it’s that speech at the end. (I was going to copy and paste it but it’s very long! Thankfully IMDB do links now. You can read the quote/speech bit here.)
I am the queen of guilty films, HSM, Hairspray, 17 again!!
Notice the theme??
