C'mon all you guys n' gals! Fess up. We all have them - films that are silly, or outrageous or just pure fun. I am open to suggestions for films that are so old you have to find them in the "99-cents-for-a-week" rental section of the video store. Whenever I am feeling blue I pop in "Earth Girls Are Easy" for a dose of laughter and silly fun. C'mon, now. Confess! To start you all off I confess I bought the copy of "Earth Girls Are Easy" that the Video Store had in their "pre-rented" For Sale bin.

I finally saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail this past summer and laughed my head off.
I'm a sucker for Night of the Living Dead any night in October.
Extreme guilt: "Folks" with Tom Selleck--and my daughter. Somehow when the two of us watch this not-very-good movie together, we cannot stop laughing.
I would curl up with a rat and watch "White Christmas" any cold night in December, but I'd only feel guilty about the rat and not the movie, so I guess this one doesn't count.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers--corny stories acted with wit and grace. Love every single one I've ever seen.
I suppose what I feel guiltiest about are the number of horribly made horror movies I've seen, and many of those I've stopped halfway through because I was embarrassing myself to watch them. But driving home weary on a Friday night after a hard week at school, I find it sometimes hard to resist the temptation to stop by the video store and check out a stack of horror movies--ants, rats, scorpions, snakes, demented young men, demented old people, screwed-up hackers and wackers. After staying up late Friday night watching them, perhaps nothing that occurred in the week at school that just went by seems so bad by comparison.

Come on, people!! wow said to 'fess up'! Some of the movies you guys have listed are really nice movies. Monty Python (whichever, whatever, wherever) and Bird cage(Nathan Lane was *brilliant in that movie)indeed! I *like those movies! I am reading wow's post to mean, movies that we would loudly denounce in public but would surreptitiously enjoy. I shall solemnly confess to 'Legally Blonde'.... Laugh all you want, but I still (defiant glare-e) like that movie's spirit, although I will admit it really is one of the silliest movies ever made.

In reply to:

Hey, maahey! You're taking the guilt part too seriously! I sure as heck had more outrageous, pure fun watching the silliness of Monty Python than I had had with any movie in a very long time. The copy I checked out of the public library was so old and worn that I could barely make out the little coconut guy, but I loved him anyway.
But if you wanted, wow, just true confessions and nothing that has been seriously accepted by any group of critics, then "Folks" qualifies as a true confession. Oh, and Shelley Long in this camp counselor movie. That was very silly.
