What are your "Guilty pleasure" Blu-ray discs you own? - Blu-ray Forum

nightcrawler · 03-11-2011, 11:40 PM

Guilty pleasure...embarrassing...generally just titles in your collection you don't brag about or even admit to owning?

I'll get the ball rolling...I have all 3 Disney Tinkerbell movies (to give that some context...I'm a guy in my 30's!), and Grease (great movie, but wouldn't admit to owning it on Blu-ray to my work mates!

).

EDIT: Oh you can add Eat Pray Love to my list!. Picked it up today though haven't watched it yet. I know it got slated by some/most critics but I liked the look of it and the story appeals to me.

For me there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure, if I like something I like it and I don't care who knows it.

DaveSimonH · 03-12-2011, 02:57 AM

If I've bought it then I've obviously enjoyed the film enough to do so, even if it more nostalgia than anything else.

Sometimes a good deal, or a complete set will overcome even my own weirdness towards buying something.
OK, example would I buy a Thomas the Tank Engine DVD of a few episodes, no. Would I buy the series 1-11 box set because it was £12.50, well yes, yes I would....today lol

[Show spoiler]

I'm sure I'll watch them one day with my kids etc.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I suppose there's certain titles I'd be slightly reluctant to admit to liking (the Schumacher Batman films, the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street), but it's my collection and I've no shame in what I choose to purchase.

+1.

Don't give a stuff what anyone else thinks.

chip75 · 03-12-2011, 01:55 PM

I have to agree if I like it, who care? I think most films have some kind of fanbase.

On a side note I just discovered I have two Body Of Lies DVD's, I kind of remember buying the sealed one I have but have no memory of the opened one as I haven't watched it yet. In fact I have about half a dozen Leonardo Dicaprio DVD's that I haven't got round to yet, Titanic, Romeo + Juliet, Gangs of New York, Blood Diamond, Body of Lies and Inception (on BD) I think Catch Me If You Can is the only DVD in my collection I've watched with him in it lol.

On the guilty pleasure front I'd have to say I'm quite partial do big dumb fun. But I don't have many BD's like that apart from Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I also have Mamma Mia! and Bruno but they were free with my player and they're not my fault....

Jezza · 03-12-2011, 02:15 PM

Well for me a guilty pleasure film is anything that you like, but is targeted at a much younger age-group or totally different audience than yourself, or is something which is so bad it's good.

So taking that into consideration I'd have to be Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue and Piranha 3D.

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue was much better than expeceted and could suprisingly be enjoyed by adults as well as 5 year old girls. Piranha 3D is possibly the ultimate guilty pleasure film and was one of my favourite movies of 2010, so I can't wait for the sequel.

Celine Dion's A New Day Concert Blu - looks and sounds INCREDIBLE...

...honestly!!!

Matt

Foggy · 03-12-2011, 02:53 PM

Well lets go through the collection

Crank 2
Death Race
Terminator: Salvation
Transformers 2
Indy 4
Predators (though I don't see whats so bad)
Pretty much most the comedies

Some of them I haven't watched in ages full on knowing they're going to be bad, some of them I don't understand why people don't like.

ChrisDilke · 03-12-2011, 04:43 PM

From my collection, I'd have to say the Twilight films. Since it's not generally considered cool to like the films, they're probably the ones I don't admit to owning.

And I would also have to say the Tinkerbell movies. Even as a big Disney fan I consider them guilty pleasures, since they're so unbelievably girly. Yet I like anything associated with Peter Pan so I gave them a watch, and surprisingly enjoyed all three. May well pick them up in the next Disney BOGOF deal.

The American one. I know it's pretty much universally hated, but I quite enjoy it. I never understood the issue with how little resemblance it had to the Japanese creature. Surely the Japanese one looked that due to budget constraints, rather than artistic decision?
