I am not a sophisticated Movie watcher...

[Mysterium Fidei]

I love the Burbs, also Dumb and Dumber.

[voxxpopulisuxx]

Pee wees big adventure

[Larry]

Coming to America.

[Armor of Light]

So my point is to ask if anyone else has movies they secretly love but are afraid to say?

Super Troopers

Dodgeball

Steel Magnolias. (don't tell or people will think I'm transgendered.. :tongue:)

[The Dumb Ostrich]

I think most people today especially us Catholics struggle with movies because their pretty much turning into porn. I wouldn't worry yourself with the sophistication with movies as much as what's in the movie in terms of virtue. Is this movie doing more damage for me than good.

Have you tried watching these movies
A man for all seasons. Shawshank Redemption. King Kong (Newer version), Lord of the Rings. These movies in degree are sophisticated.

You shouldn't be embarrassed that you love Ghostbusters. Bill Burry and Co. are awesome. 

[Archer]

I was waiting for someone to mention "The Princess Bride".

Maybe if I was a few years older I would appreciate it more.

Not sure what you mean. I'm pretty sure I'm younger than you too.  ???

Princess Bride is a staple of those kids a few years older then me. They were all obsessed with it.

Not sure if I am older then you. How about you say how old you are and I will let you know where I fall.

It's not that I am soooo embarrassed. It's just when certain people go to school about art, and hang out with other artsy fartsies, they get a certain...attitude. In my experience, the stereotype is real. "Fine" art vs "commercial" art- yawn. French movies, always B/W, of people sobbing against the wall because the fruit in a bowl was arranged the wrong way,   and then having a 5 hour conversation on what the orange represented. You know, crap like that.

So me chiming in that "The Burbs" is my favorite movie is just too pedestrian for words. (Poor Mr T suffers so much)

Oh, no.  Do you have the same views about literature as well?

Like a (yawn) semester long discussion on the color of the whale in Moby Dick?  (Repressed memories from college coming through)

[Bernadette]

Heh, I transferred to a different school after my first sophomore semester, and ended up studying Moby Dick at both schools!  Needless to say, I didn't read it nearly as closely the second time.

How many different ways can you debate the color white?

My siblings and I grew up watching it. And I'm 26...

Your turn.

Oh, it's ok. There is nothing more fun then teasing him for his snobby ways.  I am not a huge literature buff, since I have had kids my reading has gone the way of my movie watching- strictly entertainment. So our tastes are different, but it's not a big deal.

You are playing with fire bringing that up. Haven't you noticed all the different shades of white at the paint store?
