these are movies which are often *really* bad movies, but which i've gone into with absolutely no expectations other than wanting to see a movie with the actors i like (listed) in them and walked out having enjoyed myself immensely for two hours. some of them i'd see again, and think are actually worthwhile, good movies, but for the most part i agree wholeheartedly that they're cheesy, horrible movies, the kind you watch just to laugh at. that doesn't mean i wouldn't watch them again, though. or that i wouldn't recommend them. <g>
course, since it only takes the right mood for me to like a movie, i seriously recommend that you take this list with a grain of salt. also, all movies that are asterisked are movies i haven't seen in a *long* time, but that back in the day i saw for those particular people. so forgive my horrible tastes in the past. ;)
I can't believe you included Teaching Mrs Tingle. That is one my least favorite movies that I've ever seen. Ahhhhhhhhhhh
hey! i didn't say i thought it was a *good* movie, just that i enjoyed it. (in short: katie holmes ripping off her shirt. ;P)
