What are your favourite fun movies?

[Gingerbread Demon]

What are the movies you love to watch when you want a bit of fun and get yourself into a fun mood?

List your choices. For me I like a lot of movies that in general seem to draw a lot of flak or people don't like because it's hip to do that, especially on places like IMDB where movie hate threads seem to dominate no matter what film you are reading about. The forums become heated. Anyway yeah I don't give a flying fvck what people think and I like the movies I like and some of them feel like they were made just for me..

Anyway on with the list.. Note: this isn't a complete list for me but these are the most favourite of all the movies I have.


The adventures of Baron Munchausen
Ice Pirates
The Island
Jupiter Ascending
The Core
The One

Freejack is awesome for having Mick Jagger in it, if for no other reason.

Super Troopers and The Big Lebowski are two movies that I rely on to get me out of my bad moods.

Good choices.

Immediately followed by THE MUMMY (1999).

OMG yes. Both those are great fun.

That ending on Deep Rising screamed sequel.

 

[DimesDan]

[1001001]

I'm not seeing the "fun" in some of these choices...

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
.....
The Day After
Testament
On The Beach

[Gary Mitchell]

You sick bastard.

You can't open up the book of my life and jump in the middle.

 

[auntiehill]

Clearly, you have embraced your Dark Side.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Pulp Fiction is pure fun.

 

[Timewalker]

The Day After
Testament
On The Beach

If these are your "fun" choices, I'd hate to see your "bad mood" choices.

I like Short Circuit, too.

Some of my own choices:

Clue
Paint Your Wagon
Scavenger Hunt
Romancing the Stone
Jewel of the Nile
Crocodile Dundee
Toy Story 2 (I saw these out of order; this one's my favorite)

 

[Greg Cox]

In general, old horror films and monster movies are my comfort food. Black-and-white Universal classics like THE WOLF MAN or THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, Hammer Films from 60s and 70s, drive-in sci-fi movies from the 50s . . . that kind of thing. Also: classic movie musicals like SINGIN' IN THE RAIN and SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.

Beyond that, and just off the top of my head:

FLASH GORDON (1980)
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
BARBARELLA
LOGAN'S RUN
THE RAVEN (with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre)
JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (my favorite Harryhausen movie)
BRIDES OF DRACULA (my favorite Hammer vampire flick)
NORTH BY NORTHWEST (the most fun Hitchcock movie)
STAR TREK IV: THE ONE WITH THE WHALES
MY FAVORITE YEAR with Peter O'Toole
JAWS
THEATER OF BLOOD (Vincent Price again)
and many more I can't remember right now.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Yes Cheese......... Barbarella is full of cheese I love that

Yes Cheese......... Barbarella is full of cheese I love that

"De-crucify that angel or I'll melt your face!"

You just don't get dialogue like that everyday.

 

[Nerys Myk]

A Hard Day's Night
Blazing Saddles
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
O' Brother Where Art Thou
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Blues Brothers
Grease
This Is Spinal Tap
All You Need Is Cash
Animal House

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

For me The Blues Brothers hasn't aged that well.

The only fun I got from it was the bit with the car sliding through the shopping mall on its roof.

 

[Timewalker]

Another couple of fun movies I forgot to mention before:

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
