Bande à Part
Futurama Seasons

King Kong Production Diaries
Where the Heart Is
Gladiator

DVD's to Show:

- Michael Clayton: to show i'm with the times, and plus it's a "respectable yet kickass movie"
- A Walk To Remember: because it says "Yeah, I'm a guy, but I'm not afraid to slog it through a chick flick." That, and it has Mandy Moore in it anyway, so I can play the "oh, he's a guy so he obviously likes Mandy Moore" card.
- at least one season of 24, preferrably Season 5: she needs to at least have some inkling as to what she's getting herself into.

DVD's to hide:

- Both of my Doctor Who season sets and my one Torchwood season set: Because, nothing sets off the "geek" alarm better. I'll watch it with friends, but it's not exactly sexual catnip.

Quadrophenia
Harold and Maude.

(If Harold and Maude can't make you close the deal, you got no game, son)

To Hide:
Can't Hardly Wait (though I love it)
Best of the Three Stooges
Tommy

Oh! And Shawn of the Dead/Hot Fuzz to display proudly!!!

The Howard Stern movie was called Private Parts. You have not met shame until you've watched the speaker masterbation scene with your father and baby brother.

So I start off by imagining DVDs existed when I was dating....

Stay:
1.Battle of Algiers
2.Kind Hearts and Coronets
3.Hancock's Half Hour

Go:
1. Jesus Christ Superstar (because the reason I own it has to do with the first time I got really really really drunk and that's not a story you tell to someone you want to impress)
2. Chocolat
3. A Year in Provence (don't judge me too harshly, I went through a phase)

I am howling at my desk, because this is something I would totally forget to do and then hate myself for the next day.

DVD's to Show: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Evil Dead II, Grosse Pointe Blank.

DVD's to Go: My Big Fat Greek Wedding :dies inside admitting that:, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (I...don't know), Midgets On Wheels. It was a birthday gag gift, you see. My friends in college and I had this joke...we were playing Would You Rather and...sigh. I'm done.

Three to show:
The Shawshank Redemption
To Kill a Mockingbird
LA Confidential

Three to go:
The Matrix Reloaded
Spiderman 3

Plain Clothes (An 80's movie that I once loved?)
Legally Blonde (I love it, but I don't need anyone to know)

Show:
The Office box. The Princess Bride. The Godfather.

ARGH! I completely forgot L.A. Confidential. Stupid me.

3 to show:
1. Arrested Development(all seasons!)
2. High Fidelity
3. Pride and Prejudice BBC version

3 to go:
1. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
2. Freedom Writers (I am sucker for those teahers making a difference movies)

DVDs to show: Serenity, Waiting..., and either Donnie Darko or Dark City. Scifi, comedy, and weird existentialism.

DVDs to go: Cruel Intentions 2 (I thought it would be good! I'm sorry!), Perfect Blue (anime, and sex scenes = potential turn-off if not properly screened), and Josie and the Pussycats (I like Rachel Leigh Cook, sue me...and it's Rosario!)

I mean "teachers" making a difference.

Going into this, I have to assume that Mr. Pink has either expired or abandoned me so that I can remove all of the DVD's in our collections that are his property and shameful to me (like Braveheart and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein).

3 to display (Dammit! Why three? Can I also scatter around my boxed sets of Farscape seasons?)

Sling Blade
O Brother Where Art Thou?
28 Days Later

3 to Hide

AI (Shut UP. It makes me cry.)
Newsies
Tori Amos: The videos (Here's hoping he doesn't wander over to my cd collection. I find its best that romantic prospects don't know what an insane fan I once was until they've know me for a while.)

STAY:
Monty Python 16 Megaton Box Set
Strangers With Candy complete Trapper Keeper set
Brazil

GO:
Old School
Visitor Q

Three to Flaunt:
1. Stranger Than Fiction
2. Shaun of the Dead
3. Spirited Away

Three to Hide:
1. Queen of the Damned (Bargin bin. All I can say.)
2. Kingdom of Heaven (Nobody needs to know about my Orlando Bloom crush but me.)
3. Body Shot (I had a phase.)

Midgets On Wheels

Oh....oho no...you gotta tell me about this one....

And I'm never forgetting it, either....

BOO:

"TK: What the fuck is Hell Comes to Frogtown?"

It makes me sad that you have to ask that.

Post-apocalyptic mutants? Harems? Roddy Piper? Sandahl Bergman (of Conan fame)?

Anyone?

*crickets*

Ah, fuck y'all.

Perfect Blue (anime, and sex scenes = potential turn-off if not properly screened)

Yeah, not so much the sex scene as the most brutal stabbing I think I've still ever scene on film.

... It almost made my stay list. *cough*

Also, Alabamapink, which Tori album dropped you off the wagon? It was Scarlet for me (which I've picked up more of an appreciation for lately) but the hints of it started with Choirgirl.

Cowboy BeBop - same as above.

Memento
Boondock Saints
Run, Lola, Run

Be gone!

The Island
Pride and Prejudice (Kiera Knightley edition)
Blades of Glory

I say FUCK THAT! to hiding anything. (I'm typing the following words to stay with the whole in-your-face, fuck that! vibe...please excuse my language)...

I say FUCK THAT! to hiding anything. If dis chick is any good she'll realize that we ALL have some bad movies we absolutely love. i would be shrewd enough to turn it into a fun conversation for the evening. (...IMAGINE what kinda guilty secrets a simple small-time conversation like that could lead to.)

If she judges me for having Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Chopping Mall, BiG, or RoboCop 2 in my collection along with the hundreds of excellent choices then FUCK HER! She's a swunty bitch who doesn't deserve my time. I wear my badges people. With pride!

Midgets On Wheels

Oh....oho no...you gotta tell me about this one....

And I'm never forgetting it, either....

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at March 5, 2008 3:02 PM

Yeah, well, I'm never forgetting about Cruel Intentions 2!

It's midget porn. It was a 25th birthday gift. We played a LOT of Would You Rather in college...that's allll you need to know.

Three to stay:

-My So Called Life box set (undoubtedly the best thing i bought last year)

-Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (possibly one of my top 3 of all time)

- Brazil (criterion collection set only!)

runner-up: any of the Warner Bros. classics in the 2-disc remastered series (ex: Bonnie & Clyde out on 3/25!)

Three to Hide:

- Blast From the Past (when Alicia Silverstone was chunky cute and Christopher Walken was still funny)

- Jawbreaker (i used to like Rose McGowan, pre-Charmed. besides, julie benz is in it and it was in the $5 bin. wait...)

- Can't Hardly Wait (if you weren't 18 when it came out, it ain't for you)

Runner-up: Scream 2 (purchased only to "complete the collection" i swear)

The Secret Garden/A Little Princess double disc set

Oh my God I totally also own this
Though it's not shameful enough to bury compared to some others

TK:

Roddy Piper AND Sandahl Bergman? Shit, I'mma hafta Netflix that whiskeybitch. (See??? Whiskeyfied...)

Oh, and that description kinda reminded me of C.H.U.D..

Awesomeness.

Show:
Big Trouble In Little China
Once
Swingers

Ditch:
Last House on the Left
Saw I, II, III
I Spit On Your Grave

Because nothing says, "I live in my mother's basement, and you won't ever leave here except in several non-descript trashbags" like torture porn and rape revenge films. Stupid grad-school film thesis paper.

Show:
Freaks and Geeks
Rebel Without a Cause
The Host

Go:
Raise Your Voice
Elektra
Center Stage

Three to stay:
Waiting for Guffman
Arrested Development
Strangers with Candy (like Skittimus Maximus said, definitely the series, not the movie)

Three to go:
Newsies
13 Going on 30 (major guilty pleasure)
Joan of Arcadia (I have much love for this show & how its premise was executed, but it can't seem to beat its Touched By an Angel-ish reputation)

twig:

I think my disillusionment with Tori started on Strange Little Girls but the nail in the coffin was The Beekeeper. I seriously could only find one track on that whole album that didn't give me aural fits and starts. American Doll Posse's got some decent stuff on it and was slightly redeeming. However, she's long worn off the luster she once had. I blame marriage and motherhood for turning her all softie.

And TK....HELLS YEAH! on the Hell Comes to FrogTown love. That is right next to THEY LIVE in my Roddy Piper section of my DVDs. So bad they're awesome!

stay:
My So-Called Life
The Shawshank Redemption
Dark City

go:
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Cruel Intentions
Red Dawn

Julie, with regards to the midget porn, don't feel bad. a girlfriend of mine turned 18 her first semester and we gave her an animated "hansel & gretel" porn. the only difference was the witches house was a vagina and she had a garden of penises out back and she would hop from one to another saying "bouncy bouncy bouncy."

another friend of mine dropped acid for the fist time so we showed her "apocolypse climax II." the first line of the movie is "i looooove the smell of poohtang in da mornin'."

trust me, i know ALL about the "would you rather" games....

3 to stay:

1. SLC Punk
2. Y Tu Mama Tambien
3. Snatch

3 to go away:

1. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
2. The Weather Man
3. The Squid and the Whale

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

HA HA HA! PissBoy, I watched that on Sunday while folding laundry. " Sorry, but a toll is a toll. And a roll is a roll. And if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls. ...I made that up."

If she judges me for having Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Chopping Mall, BiG, or RoboCop 2 in my collection along with the hundreds of excellent choices then FUCK HER! She's a swunty bitch who doesn't deserve my time.

And WORD, if a guy would care that much that I may or may not fall asleep to my copy of Sleepless in Seattle occasionally...then he's too big a tool to be with me. The only movie I would in all seriousness hide would be Midgets on Wheels, because, well...eww.

Stay:
Firefly
Almost Famous
Veronica Mars

Go:
Boiler Room
Cranked
Borat

I'm not sure I own enough DVDs to actually play...

Three to show:
Lord of the Rings (what? fuck you.)
Royal Tenenbaums
and I'm stuck for a third--Big Fish? Out of Africa? Passion Fish? Truly, Madly, Deeply? Love Actually?

To hide:
ConAir (I technically have this on VHS)
Practical Magic (I liked it in the theatre, but it definitely did not hold up upon re-viewing...)
Possibly the entire set of Angel--I might not want to potentially scare him/her off at the outset.

And AlexacCastrate why in the world would you hide Real Genius?! That movie is not only hilarious, it actually holds up after 20+ years!

Sorry for the double post - I fat fingered it before I was done...

Oh! I'm not a day late and five scrolls down the page as usual this time! Hurrah!

Three to show:
Any of my Buffy/Angel DVDS - hey, they might as well know now what they're getting in to, right?

Cowboy BeBop - same as above.

28 Days Later - I gots a hard side too! I do, I do!

Three to Hide:
The Secret Garden/A Little Princess double disc set - I'll save that one for a few months from now, when I know they REALLY like me.

Planet of the Apes - it was a gift, I SWEAR.

Wing Commander - actually, this one I'll hide in the garbage can, where it belongs.

Three to show:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Rushmore
L.A. Confidential

Three to go:

Armafuckingeddon - I'm a DVD club slacker and didn't return my form, but I still own this turd for some reason
Love, Actually - I don't want someone to get the wrong impression
Private Parts - I watch it when I'm alone

Again this is assuming that the mister has left me in some form or another...

Three to Flaunt:
1. Airplane!
2. The Jerk
3. The Princess Bride
(if you love none of the above, then you are not getting in my pants...)

Three to Hide:
1. Hanging Up - awful movie that I have never even opened and got at one of those Christmas party "let's see who can give the worst gift" things
2. Steel Magnolias - LOVE this movie, can quote it by heart.. no guy needs to see this movie anywhere in a girl's house. It's the opposite of sexual catnip -- which would be like cat urine?
3. When Harry Met Sally - came with # 1 on my list

STAY:
Friday: Before Chris Tucker went into self-imposed exile from overexposure, he was pretty damn funny.

Amelie: For the romantic sap in me.

A Clockwork Orange: So we can sadistically cheer on Alex DeLarge.

GO:
Spice World: I don't need to elaborate on this one.

Bad Boys: I love this movie, but it's a bad choice on a date, considering how great Will Smith looks in it. Ogling another guy while you're on a date is a bad idea.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Actually, this is a tape, and I have no idea why it's still in my possession. Please...don't ask.

MinorBlue, if hiding Orlando Bloom flicks count, well, that's half of my DVDs right there.

Stay:
Angel box set
The Sopranos box set
Serenity

Away:
Beerfest
Bad Boys 2
The Hot Chick

the only difference was the witches house was a vagina and she had a garden of penises out back and she would hop from one to another saying "bouncy bouncy bouncy."

I need a saline drip, I just cried out all of my liquids laughing at that. Oh. My. God. I need that movie.

Ooh, I would also proudly display The Goonies, because it's the best movie ever made.

Holy cow! I had a junior-high boyfriend who was IN LOVE with Big Trouble in Little China. TK?? Is that you?

So Three To Show:

Love Actually (If you can't enjoy Richard Curtis films, we might as well call it off now)

The Princess Bride

Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Three to Go:

Austin Powers (oh, the shame - it was a gift, I swear)

The Burbs (I can't even explain)

Go Fish (dirty lesbians are more of a seventh-date reveal)

Three for show:
1. Freaks and Geeks
2. Murderball
3. Wet Hot American Summer or Rushmore or Amelie (ack, I can't decide)

Three to go:
1. The entire series of the Gilmore Girls
2. Center Stage
3. The Notebook

Tamatha Real Genius definitely holds up. I enjoy the fact that the shots they show with everyone on the computer doesn't say shit like "Secret CrossBow Mainframe". It's shitty, less than Apple IIE technology at best and they weren't afraid to flaunt it. As opposed to say "Hackers" which made my 9 year old niece think that computer worms actually LOOK like worms. God she's fucking stupid. She spent the day wondering what the color puce smells like. Fuckin idiot.

Did i mention it was a double feature? the other one was little red riding wood.

and yes, that's the real title. to say the wolf ate her would be an understatement...

To Stay:
Usual Suspects
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Emporer's New Groove (David Spade in cartoon form? Doesn't get much better)

To Go:
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Hot Pursiut (Cusack, thou hast led me astray!)
Legends of the Fall (no excuses)

Ami,

ok, let's be serious. gilmore girls. i've never watched a single episode (but i love lauren graham's "fuck me santa" bit in bad santa).

is it really worth the effort or is this something i should leave to the felicity/dawson's creek crowd?

Show Proudly:
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Zoolander
Gladiator

Hide? I have nothing to hide. Leave all my terrible taste out there in all its sublime glory. Weed out the weak and tremulous.

Oh, wow, emilybee, how could I forget Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? That one moves up to the top of my "Three to go" list.

...I'm even looking forward to the sequel. *hangs head*

Three to Stay:

• High Fidelity
• Shopgirl
• Batman Begins

If he doesn't like John Cusack or Steve Martin he's out, purely on principle... I'd overlook a dislike of Christian Bale or the Dark Knight, but just barely

Three to Go:
• Kinsey (what? 2 for 5 bucks...the pickin's were slim! )
• The Squid and the Whale
• Space Jam (it was a gift from my grandma when I was taking animation in college...shut up)

Gone With The Wind (shows I've got staying power)
Transformers (I can hang with the dudes)
Pride and Prejudice-Kiera Knightly version (I enjoy chick flicks but not the 80s ones)

DVDs to Hide:
The Care Bears Nutcracker
The Land Before Time
The My Little Pony Movie...I watch these when I get nostalgic, what?

3 to stay
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
V for Vendetta
Shortbus (to weed out the faint of heart)

3 to go
Legally Blonde (shut up, it was cute. I'm not even going to admit that I have the sequel too)
The entire Disney pre-2000 Disney Animated collection (honestly, I have LOTS of nieces and nephews, I swear)
Say Anything & Pretty in Pink (shut up again... I have an addiction to 80s cheese. I'm currently in therapy)

Sticking around:
Arrested Development
The Office (BBC edition)
High Fidelity

Hide:
Princess Diaries
The Swan Princess
Skins (ridiculous British The O.C. style show)

Did i mention it was a double feature? the other one was little red riding wood.

and yes, that's the real title. to say the wolf ate her would be an understatement...

Ha ha ha ha!!! Oh god, I love it.

PissBoy, hee, I love that even your niece isn't immune to your rantings here :)

Three to Stay:

A Fish Called Wanda- I appreciate humour! And Kevin Kline! And I like Monty Python!

Rushmore- I am quirky! I like Bill Murray! This is clearly the best Wes Anderson movie!

Heathers- I don't hate the 80s! I have an dark sense of humour! If you start killing people, I might forge a suicide note so that you don't get arrested!

Three to Hide:

Mulan (Special Edition)- I'm a psycho who has a creepy crush on animated men!

Neven Been Kissed- I wanted to sleep with my English teacher in highschool!

Goldeneye- I have seen every James Bond movie, and I might think Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond!

DVDs to show: Arrested Development (because of the Arrested Development Test - you don't like it, I don't like you), Monty Python collection (another test), and The Godfather (I-III)(guys appreciate that I enjoy this crap; I'm looking to impress with this one).

DVDs to go: The Last Unicorn (we don't bring that out - or reveal my unhealthy obsession with it - until we've been dating at least a month or two). And that's really it. I'm proud of my DVD collection, even if some of them are bad! Okay, maybe I'd hide Troop Beverly Hills.

ERIN - "Pride and Prejudice BBC version" - Are you my roommate from freshman year of college?!? This was her most prized possession.

To Show: 1. The Philadelphia Story-Great writing, plus Jimmy Stewart, Katherine Hepburn, and Cary Grant, and one of the best drunk scenes in cinema. 2. Invader Zim-Cheery nihilistic animation.
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark-If you don't like this movie, you're not even getting to first base with me. To Go: 1. From Dusk to Dawn-It was a gift! 2. Abs of Steel-What?! This old thing!?! As if I need help in that area! 3. The Adventures of TinTin in Chinese-Must hide the depths of my pretentiousness for as long as possible.

Show:
My Eddie Izzard DVDs (share my love for the cross-dressing comedian or DIE!!)
Kung Fu Hustle
All 5 seasons of Angel (Because David Boreanaz is supa-cool!)

Go:
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (I'll kill you if you talk shit! I love me some Weis and Hickman!)
Ten Commandments: The Musical (this one requires a bit of persuasion to see. Ignore the cheesy SFX and focus on teh awesomeness of the singing and Val Kilmer!)
Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical (yet another one that requires a gentle introduction. Some people just can't give the Hoff a chance)

To Show:
Serenity and/or Slither
Big Trouble in Little China (amen TK)
Usual Suspects

To Go:
Center Stage
Bad Boys 2
Steel Magnolias (Im a southern girl, it's like, required)

is it really worth the effort or is this something i should leave to the felicity/dawson's creek crowd?

Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows, I am not afraid to stand on my swivel chair at work and declare my love and scare my coworkers. It's really funny and warm and the characters become like family to you. I...am a nerd.

Zuzu, I LOVE Goldeneye! Xenia Onatopp is my idol, I want to crush a man with my thighs one day.

OMG I looooved Troop Beverly Hills. I didn't know it was on dvd though.

I forgot that I'd hide all my Harry Potter dvds and The Lord of the Rings super special 4 disk dvd sets. No guy wants to sleep with a girl with an unhealthy obsession with Viggo Mortenson.

"hansel and gretel porn", "little red riding wood"

And now I'm on a quest to find these. I have the perfect friend to subject to them...I can already see the expression of horror on his face.

Plus...that just sounds hilarious...."bouncy bouncy bouncy" !!!

To Show: Firefly, Almost Famous, Iron Giant

To Go: The Real Cancun (a gift that I don't think I've even unwrapped), The Best of Survivor Season One, The Wiz (impulse bargain bin buy based on incorrectly fond childhood memories)

that's it. i'm leaving out more movies than just three. variety is the spice of life, is it not? there'll be a stack a mile high on my coffee table (just like there usually is)!

additions include:

- To Die For (before Nicole Kidman went batshit crazy with the botox)

- Election (for the evil overachiever in all of us)

- Waitress (for obvious reasons)

- Amelie (one of the few movies I still cry to. go ahead n laugh you blackhearted creeps!)

- my Bogart & Bacall box set

- Looney Toons (we all need a good laugh every now and then and this one is mine!)

- Short Cuts

- any Simpsons box set (let's say season 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8)

Jurassic Park (all three of them. In a box. My best friend and I have a thing with the raptors. long story)

Also, ANYTHING BELONGING TO MY ROOMATE. A man who enjoyed Catwoman. Yes, the Halle Berry Razzie award winning Catwoman. And he's gay, so he doesn't even get to use the "Halle Berry in leather" excuse.

Three to Stay:

A Fish Called Wanda- I appreciate humour! And Kevin Kline! And I like Monty Python!

Rushmore- I am quirky! I like Bill Murray! This is clearly the best Wes Anderson movie!

To show:
Shaun of the Dead, Scrubs collection, LA Confidential

To go: Music and Lyrics (I'm powerless against Hugh Grant as an aging pop star), Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (I'm also powerless against Diego Luna busting out dance moves), and this God-awful movie called "Totally Blonde" that I bought for $3 and haven't watched since I bought it. (Michael Buble's in it, saw it on cable one night, thought it was lame, but, uh, had $3 to spare. Whaddya want?)

Sixteen Candles
The Princess Bride
The Sound of Music

2. Just Like Heaven (Mark Ruffalo...)

Hm, maybe I'll move Center Stage to the to show list, seems like so many Pajibans have a not-so-guilty love for it, it's heading back toward cool.

Mella: Not only will I be showing my copy of Princess Bride, I have the book prominently displayed as well.

Kevin, Julie:

you aren't alone. though i'm more of a great muppet caper man myself, but i have no shame in my muppet love.

speaking of which, yes, i would proudly display my muppet show/fraggle rock collections. i have the dvds but i also (for some odd reason) still have my old copies, taped off television, on fucking BETA!

yes, i'm THAT nerd.

oh, on that note, i want to add FUTURAMA to my coffee table stack.

tt_marie: I didn't own that as a freshman in college. I wish I did. I love that movie... probably too much. But I don't try to hide it.

Show:

3. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (musicals tend to scare the menfolk)

Umm...yeah....I have all the muppet movies on dvd (including the newer ones, but not the wizard of oz one...I have my standards), and I have the first two seasons and looking to get the rest. Strangely enough, I hated Fraggle Rock. I don't know why...Muppets were always so much cooler.

I guess I should stop now before I admit to having the Gummi Bears too ("bouncing here and there and everywhere!")...

Three for show:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Viva Pedro: The Almodovar Box Set
Pulp Fiction

- My VHS, unfucked with, original versions of Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, so he knows how I roll.

3tg:

- Hotel Rwanda because I'd hate to have to admit that I still haven't mustered the courage to watch it, and

Anything I Own with Audrey Hepburn in it (the gig will soon be up anways)

Go:

And to all of you hiding Harold and Kumar go to White Castle...there's nothing wrong with showing a little stoner-porn...

you aren't alone. though i'm more of a great muppet caper man myself, but i have no shame in my muppet love.

Me too, Great Muppet Caper is my favorite!

"You are all WEIRDOS!"

I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show the other day and they had an Oscar the Grouch made of ivy and flowers. My friends had to restrain me to keep me from stealing it.

"Umm...yeah....I have all the muppet movies on dvd (including the newer ones, but not the wizard of oz one...I have my standards), and I have the first two seasons and looking to get the rest. Strangely enough, I hated Fraggle Rock. I don't know why...Muppets were always so much cooler."

Shadows--no need to feel shame for the Muppet appreciation. I wish I knew more people who owned Muppet movies! (I also hated Fraggle Rock. I felt cheated in some weird way every time I watched it).

Display Proudly:
Moulin Rouge! - 'cause if he's not on board with the musical love right now, we're gonna have some problems.
The Jerk - ditto the Steve Martin love.
V For Vendetta - because I loves it, and Hugo Weaving can be put on the Steve Martin pile.
Hide in Shame:
She's All That - I was young!
10 Things I Hate About You - I think there's a trend here...
And any more than one of the above mentioned musicals. I gotta fly the flag, but the rest, and there are many, can be hidden.

Show:

The West Wing
His Girl Friday
Firefly

Go:

Empire Records.
Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease.
Homemade copies of MacGyver on VHS. (I loved him when I was 5, okay? Lay off, or I shall destroy you with a gum wrapper, a racing bike, and a rusty nail. DON'T THINK THAT I CAN'T.)

I live with my girlfriend and I still have a closet of shame (all VHS, mind you) that makes me cringe whenever she opens it doors.

NEXT TO THE TV:
1) Twin Peaks Gold Box Edition
2) Bottle Rocket
3) Brokeback Mountain (her father gave her a look when he visited for the first time)

CLOSET OF SHAME'D:
1) Armageddon
2) The Rock

Napoleon Dynamite

I guess I should stop now before I admit to having the Gummi Bears too ("bouncing here and there and everywhere!")...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at March 5, 2008 3:47 PM

oh shit! i used to looooooove the gummmi bears! i had to sneak that shit because i spent all saturday morning watching looney toons!

and wise choice on the muppets OZ movie. the tv movies suck. and let's face it, ashanti? hardly a good replacement for diana rigg or the joan rivers cameo in muppets take manhattan.

fraggle, i only liked it because i had a record that had every song from the show and i'd listen to it on a fisherprice record player, alternating between that and the beatles white album. i can see why some people didn't like it. the muppet show was a tough act to follow.....

Show:

Gone with the Wind (my favorite movie of all time, and if he objects, he's out)
LOST box set (S1&2)
A Bronx Tale

Go:

The Neverending Story
Hope Floats
Doctor Who S1&2 (I'd need more time to see if he's compatible with my hardcore British geek love)

Hey Brian,

which crossroads are you getting rid of? the britney spears one or the one from 86 with ralph macchio?

just curious.....

em, maybe that's what it was. I felt like Jim was cheating on me by making this other show that had no Kermit! I mean, wtf? What are the Muppets without Kermit? Hmph...

[feels a strangely powerful compulsion to watch Muppets Take Manhattan tonight]

Julie- It's a good thing I wasn't at the flower show with you, because I so would have helped you steal it! I love me some Oscar the Grouch.

A catalogue I get has theses Muppet t-shirts that I want in the worst way, but they only come in kids sizes! It is the cruelest of many tortures. What about me? I want an Oscar the Grouch t-shirt and one of Bert, too!

i don't know why some of you are hiding 13 going on 30. mark ruffalo doing the thriller dance is worth the price alone.

the great muppet caper love! "fake vomit" sends my sister and i into hysterics every time. while we're on the subject of muppets, emmet otter's jugband christmas is a must watch. if you don't love the riverbottom nightmare band, you get no love from me.

and i want that amoldovar box set.

Show: The Sopranos
Shaun of the Dead
Repo Man

Go: Footballers Wives
Gold Through the Fire (ok, so I bought a Christian propaganda movie from the 80s to laugh at the bad acting, bad story, bad hair, and bad clothes. It's too early in the relationship to have the discussion on how this is not a sin, it's entertainment.)
American Idol Best & Worst Seasons 1-4 (It helps that I've only ever watched the worst dvd, right? Right?)

Shadows Muppet Wizard of Oz is worth it just for the dialogue between Pepe and Gonzo Tinman about his many nose attachments, and their functions, and the awkward fundling of his TinMan nipples.

3 to show how great i am:

- Arrested Development
- The Big Lebowski
- In America

3 to go:

- Transporter 1 & 2
- Larry Bird: A Basketball Legend
- Talladega Nights

Three to Show:
1. Venture Bros running on my television, specifically episode Victor.Echo.November.
2. Deadwood season 1-3. If you don't know who Al Swearengen is then I'm not going to be your Trixie.
3. Legally Blonde, and I'm not afraid to admit it bitches.

Three to Hide:
1. Constatine- God, I hate myself for just writing that.
2. Mission Impossible III, I love watching action movies when I decide to study.
3. The 1/3 of my DVD collection that consist of musicals ranging from the amazingly horrible Seven Brides For Seven Brothers to the gem of Funny Girl-whose CD I own and listen to at least once a day, particularly the song People. "People, who need people...."
I love you Barbra!

ps. Kudos to April 3.

"em, maybe that's what it was. I felt like Jim was cheating on me by making this other show that had no Kermit! I mean, wtf? What are the Muppets without Kermit? Hmph...

[feels a strangely powerful compulsion to watch Muppets Take Manhattan tonight]"

Hahahaha! TOTALLY! That's exactly what it was. I might have to wath MTM tonight as well...hee hee...

Hey Scott,

Three words: Steve Fucking Vai.

TK, i have to second whoever said "word" to Big Trouble in Little China. i would proudly display that as well, even though it came with The Flight of the Phoenix (the new one). Hey, it was five bucks at Target for the set. five bucks for the awesome that is Kurt Russell!

And Julie-- double word on the Goonies. best.movie.ever. in fact, my top through really could be Goonies, Labyrinth, and The Princess Bride.

Show:
The Prisoner
Farscape Season 1
The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.

I'm secure in the hipness of each of these shows. Clever writing, masculine and self-assured main characters - Each would make for fine date night viewing.

Bury and Forget:
Star Trek: Voyager: Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and the Original Series can stay, but no more than two seasons each. Voyager, however, is just indefensible.
Jack of all Trades: Sorry, Bruce, but this show just wasn't that good. Probably the worst thing Bruce Campbell appeared in until Spider-Man 3.
Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Scientific studies have shown that quoting this film produces such a high level of nerdiness that it can actually cause the breakdown of estrogen molecules. I'll smuggle away Meaning of Life too, but Flying Circus can stay.

BRIAN!!! Why on earth would you hide Die Hard??? I don't own it (YET), but if I did I would wear it as a medallion. And I would all the sexier for it.

Shadows I may have to watch some Muppets tonight as well...I just stole my sister's copy of Muppets Treasure Island.

"My pants are filled with starfish."
"...you and your hobbies."

And Julie-- double word on the Goonies. best.movie.ever. in fact, my top through really could be Goonies, Labyrinth, and The Princess Bride.

-------------------------------------

Lizzie...I love you.

PissBoy, I'm not sure if I'm intrigued or repulsed.

I'm gonna go with repulsed for right now...until I come across it.

And Julie-- double word on the Goonies. best.movie.ever. in fact, my top through really could be Goonies, Labyrinth, and The Princess Bride.

Lizzie, if there is a god, we shall one day be friends :)

Stay-
Arrested Development,
Almost Famous,
I Heart Huckabees....

Go-
Grey's Anatomy (Seasons 1 and 2)...yeah I know,
Cold Mountain,
The Holiday

hehe...lizzieborden, you got yourself a fanbase going. If I saw those movies prominently displayed on a girl's coffee table, I would bend down and propose right then and there.

Sorry, Julie. Please don't crush me with your thighs.

If I saw those movies prominently displayed on a girl's coffee table, I would bend down and propose right then and there.

Seriously, if I found out that a guy I was dating hated those movies...well, I wouldn't dump him, but I would certainly question our compatibility.

I just added Cyndi Lauper's "Goonies are Good Enough" to my iPod...please boys, form an orderly line, there's enough of me to go around.

Brie, I keep Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven and Troy together on the shelf, and I call it my "Orlando is Pretty Trilogy."

Mm, the shallows are so comfortable . . .

Sorry, Julie. Please don't crush me with your thighs.

I wouldn't dare, Brian, I would just shoot you and write "Ho ho ho now I have a machine gun" on your shirt :p

i want to play along--i really do--but if he judged me for the crap i love to watch then it would never work anyway. plus, i have no shame.

if he is totally put off because i think Undercover Brother is hilarious, or because i think that the OC is fabulous, or the fact that dance porn turns me on, then 3 dates is plenty.

3 to stay:
1) Anything with Simon Pegg
2) DOCTOR WHO stays out, baby....(he might as well face it now!)
3) Deadwood/SFU/Sopranos/Rome

3 to go:
1) 10 Commandments
2) Legal Eagles (hey, Redford used to be hot)
3) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (there is no excuse......it's just.....awful)

Three to show:
Firefly
Black Books Season3
Jesus Camp

Three to go:
Ghostrider (it was a gift, i swear!)
Fantastic Four 2 (a gift from the same person!)
XXX (alright, that one's all me)

Hey Scott,

Three words: Steve Fucking Vai.

Posted by: Brian at March 5, 2008 3:58 PM

brian, oh thank god! i was roommates with a (straight!) guy who loved the brit-brit version for some reason.

i haven't seen the vai version for awhile now. i used to have the vinyl soundtrack but i think my dad stole it when he moved to the lakehouse.

To show:
1. Invader Zim
2. The Great Escape
3. Labyrinth (anyone that can't handle my love of Bowie and his area isn't right for me anyway)
To hide
1. The Muppet Movie (don't wanna look like I'm obsessed with puppets or anything)
2. Follow That Bird (except, maybe I am if I have to hide two puppet related movies)
3. There is a film in my collection that I can't even remember the name of at the moment. I just know it starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and had something to do with magic, intoxicating food and it is all kinds of awful. I only own it because my mother accidentally bought herself 2(!) copies, so she gave me the extra.

Posted by: s. pisaster at March 5, 2008 4:22 PM

that would be called "Simply Irresistable" also with sean patrick flannery. you're right. it's goddamn awful, painful in fact.

Scott beat me to it. I like Simply Irresistible, though (in private, by myself..)...If I still owned it, it would have been on my DVDs to hide list too.

Oh, thank God no one reads down this far because my to hide list is a bit (okay - very) embarrassing.

To stay:

All of my Jane Austen
40 Year Old Virgin

To go:

All my Disney animated films (what can I say, I am seriously in touch with my inner child - she must have what she wants or she gets quite bitchy). The man who ultimately finds this endearing gets to keys to my heart and my pants.

3 to show:
1. Life Is Beautiful
2. Fight Club
3. The Shawshank Redemption (guys love that movie)

3 to bury:
1. French Kiss
2. Saved by the Bell, the...complete ser- (trails off)
3. Fear

Christ I fucking love you people.

1. Pissboy: You have a Roddy Piper section? I have a newfound respect for you.

2. lizzieborden, MG, etc: Anyone who knows me knows that I adore BTiLC above all other movies. Seriously. The greatest gift I've ever been given was the Egg Shen action figure.

jen310, that's what the END button's for...to see everyone's secret shame.

You shouldn't be ashamed of those, though. I have practically all of them myself (The Lion King is, and will always be, my favorite Disney movie).

For those who love the muppets and want their shirts, keep your eyes peeled. I found a Beaker shirt at Target and picked up a black and white Animal shirt several years ago at a Hot Topic. Check E-bay, they have a ton of muppets stuff on E-bay.

I also wouldn't hide any movies from a date, but I should probably hide some from my MIL who likes to borrow movies that she hasn't seen including:

1. Caligula
2. The Red Shoe Diaries
3. Tales from the Kama Sutra

When I told her I liked foriegn films she thought I said porn and just kinda dazed off into the distance. Oh well.

Three movies I would push:
1. The Boondock Saints
2. GunShy (Oliver Platt is so funny in this, and it has Liam Neeson)
3. The Usual Suspects

Show
1. Fight Club
2. Stardust
3. Evil Dead 2

Hide
1. The Devil's Rejects
2. Snakes on a Plane
3. Independence Day

Oh Brian, I seriously miss Dr. Katz...

This is hard because I don't actually own a huge number of movies. Which makes my embarrassing ones even more embarrassing.

Three to flaunt:
Twitch City
Election
All three seasons of Arrested Development

Three to hide:
Men With Brooms (it was on sale and Paul Gross is pretty)
Bandits (I have no excuse)
Bring It On

SoD - The problem with leaving The Last Unicorn in plain view is as follows:
1) Anyone who sees this sitting on my coffee table is going to ask what the hell it is - i.e., why does a 26 year old girl have a cartoon about unicorns sitting around her apartment
2) When I try to defend it, they'll laugh, and then they'll want to see it becuase it looks weird and funny and because I'll have spent a half an hour passionately describing its importance in film and in my life
3) THEN I'll be forced to watch it in front of them and I'll inevitably BAWL MY EYES OUT when Amalthea decides to stay in unicorn form and if that isn't fucking embarassing (and a deal breaker), I don't know what is.

Three to show:
Raising Arizona
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
Brick

Three to Go:
Disney's Gummi Bears volume 1
Mobile Suit Gundam 8th MS Team
Legend two disc special edition

We've had a similar comment diversion before, and once again I am mystified by what embarrasses some of you.

Muppet Movie? Really? How could you be ashamed of the greatest road trip movie ever?

There are many others here that I could question similarly. Many of you ladies would have nothing to worry about if I were visiting your apartment, but maybe I'm the weirdo.

I'd hide nothing. I own it. I enjoy it (or there is some story as to why I have it). Deal with it.

Yeah, I'm dying alone too.

To Display:

-Brick (best. movie. evar.)
-Arrested Development(Season 4, just so someone can ask if it was good enough to get every season. It was. I did.)
-I Heart Huckabees or Lost in Translation

Put Away:
-Bring It On (serious girl crush on brunette)
-Foxfire/Hackers (it might start a zombie chainsaw bar brawl???)
-Girls Next Door Season One. Don't ask.

Honorable Mention for Showing-
-Secretary
-Samurai Jack
-Mean Girls

Honorable Mention for Hiding-
-Coming to America

tt_marie,

Awww...but just think, it'd be a great excuse for the guy to cuddle you and try to comfort you. That might be worth it?

Darth, I too, am surprised by some people's choices...but then again, I'm also a fantasy and anime geek with like-minded friends and an English degree.

yeah, I think I'm dying alone too.

Shadows, we can all die together while singing "The Happiness Hotel" and watching Serenity.

Ye gods, I don't own enough DVDs to play! I'd hide the copy of Cruel Intentions that my little brother lent me over a year ago (which I never did watch).

The Greg the Bunny series would definitely stay. Jack (VHS) stays too. Uhhh....Oh yeah, Catch-22 stays! I think I'll keep dad's Airplane VHS prominently displayed. Don't think I have any more to hide. Some may argue my VHSs of Jack and Hook should be hidden (burned?), but I feel no shame.

To those who plan on hiding Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, and Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail (really??), feel free to give them to me if you decide to just toss them, eh? I loved those movies! Really should own them, actually...

I have 6 words for you fools.... Dr. Tooth and the Electric Funk. That is all.

PissBoy...hells yes.

I am in awe of the fellow Muppet freaks here. I would flaunt that with no shame, especially if it involves Grover, Big Bird, or any of the Fraggles. Same with old school Disney films, Harold & Kumar, & Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Mel Brooks still had it.

Undercover Brother & Coming to America are pretty funny, in my opinion. I think Undercover Brother is a good satire on the 70's Black culture, and Coming to America was back when Eddie Murphy was actually funny.

Lickoriche, was that Kama Sutra the version with Sarita Choudhury & Naveen Andrews? 'Cause I kinda like that one.

Lickoriche, was that Kama Sutra the version with Sarita Choudhury & Naveen Andrews? 'Cause I kinda like that one.

Hee! Brie I sat through that entire film because I thought Indira Varma was the prettiest woman I have ever seen. :)

Show:

Go:

Anchorman

Carmen Electra's Fit-to-Strip

Three To Show:

1) Notes On A Scandal
2) K-PAX (I quite like it, and every girl I've ever watched it with has loved it).
3) Ocean's Eleven (a very enjoyable flick in it's own right, plus you can't help but score 'comfortable with my sexuality' points when you leave a George Clooney/Brad Pitt movie in full view).

Three To Go:

1) My Steven Seagal 8-movie boxset (no explanation required).
2) Alone In The Dark (I bought it from a bargain bin for £3 knowing damn well how bad it was, just for the purposes of drunkenly mocking it).
3) Visitor Q (just in case they think I'm an utter and total freak - they don't get to find that out until date five).

3 to show

secretary
sin city
fight club

3 to go

my collection of disney animated films (mulan, aladdin, cinderella, little mermaid, lion king...etc...)

Three to show:
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. In the Mood for Love
3. Dragonslayer (If she can't handle this, it wasn't meant to be.)

Three to Go:
1. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (No need to geek out entirely)
2. Starman (No guilt for loving this movie, but the fact it's not in widescreen irritates me so much I don't like admitting I have it.)
3. Sex and Lucia (I just like foreign movies! My ownership of this has nothing to do with Paz Vega's sanity-threatening hotness and frequent nudity! I swear!)

yeah, I think I'm dying alone too.

Shadows, just get your most science-geek friend to clone you some spares in a jar. It's the only way I ever have anyone around who likes to play euchre.

HOPIT!

Three to show:
Dog Soldiers

Profit

Three to go:
Underworld
Underworld 2
The Purifiers ($2.00, purchased solely for the McKidd factor...Lordy, it's a stinker.)

Alabamapink;

Completely agree with you on Beekeeper (I'm thinking somehow we had this conversation on a thread already, but I'm always repeating myself), but the strange thing is my friend got the limited edition LP and there's a song on the DVD called 'Garlands' and it's old Tori. All the power, all the awesome, all the beauty, and all I could do was just wonder why it wasn't on the actual album.

She's still doing the old Tori awesome, but it's hidden on bonus tracks and live concert stuff. Very wierd.

Show:
1. Drop Dead Gorgeous/Election
2. Pride and Prejudice BBC edition
(TT_MARIE AND ERIN: I was slightly disturbed when I learned there were two other Erins that love this one so much. And I'm not even in college yet, so I'm not your ex-roomate.)
3.Aaaaand...Psych first season.

Hide:
1. Any of my anime dvds. Yes, that means there are quite a few. However, I'm still relatively young, so it's not creepy yet.
2. Pride and Prejudice (New one)
3. Fever Pitch

Julie: I actually have Rainbow Brite & the Star Stealer on a ViewMaster reel! It was my favourite out of the two reels I had.

I have way more than 3 for each of these, but I'll give it a shot anyway:


Stay:
Monty Python ginormous box set
Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode
Hedwig and the Angry Inch


Go: (and this is just 3 of oh-so-many!)
Roller Boogie
Chastity (starring a very young Cher)
The Harrad Experiment (pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson putting the moves on Tippi Hedren - classic!)

My fiance doesn't understand my affinity for Red Dwarf, Mystery Science Theater 3000 or any pre-color cinema (He could barely stay awake through Jimmy Stewart's Destry Rides Again or The Thin Man--I didn't have the heart to make him sit through Philadelphia Story.) but since I am perfect in every other way he overlooks my idiosyncracies.

STAY: Goodfellas, Citizen Kane, and seasons 2 and 6 of The Sopranos

GO: Con Air (Cusack in a suit with a gun...hotness..quit laughing), Say Anything (Cusack again), and my stash of midget porn

To Show:
1)All the Family Guy DVDs (I'm pretty sure my longest relationships have lasted so long because the boys love to borrow the Griffin Fam)
2)Secretary (so hot)
3)Toss up between Detroit Rock City and Rock'n'Roll High School

To Go:
1) Clueless
2) The Quiet (someone convinced me to buy this, and as hot as elisha cuthbert is, that's fucked up)
3) Meet Me in St. Louis (I love it, but others don't quite understand)

ps why on earth would you ever want to hide brave little toaster?!?!

"Peck peck peck peck peck peck peck!"

Ok, NOW I'm dying alone.

@Brian & Scott:
I own the vinyl & dvd for Crossroads - I love anything about the blues, even cliched Hollywood cheese/crap. YES, that includes Black Snake Moan (Dustin can bite me).

It's hard to believe someone dissed Bride & Prejuidice up top & nobody even commented. What's not to like in Americanized Bollywood? It's worth owning just for the beauty of Aishwarya Rai, & their version of Austen's story is as good as any.

For my normal (Pajibafied taste of course I own everything by the Coens & Whedon, plan to get Freaks & Geeks.

I highly recommend Wonderfalls & Joan of Arcadia.
Blast me now for the sacrilidge, for I, too, refuse to be shamed.

Go:

Battle Royale (ixnay on the kids-killing-kids splatterfest)
Sansho the Bailiff (third date is far too soon for me to pull off the "my screen name is based on a brutal jailer in medieval Japan" conversation. Hell, marriage is probably too soon...)

LOL... I don't think smoking green and posting is going well for me today!

Hide? You offend me, sir. I would never hide essential facets of my jewellike self to impress the pretentious. Any stuck-up beau would be quick to announce his love of the Coen brothers, Blade Runner, or Eternal Sunshine. I would carry my Animaniacs DVD set and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in my purse on the first date, whip them out before appetizers were served, grab him/her by the collar and demand to know what he/she thinks. Take that.

You know...there is NOTHING wrong with Willow, The Muppet Movie, or The Neverending Story.

*pauses, thinking*

And actually...there's NOTHING wrong with the LASTMOTHERFUCKINGUNICORN. It's a good movie!!Nothing wrong with it!!! NOTHING!!

*takes deep breath*

So I will NOT be removing it from my coffee table, and I will watch it every week if I feel like it!!!!

And to anyone who has a problem with Amalthea, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Atreyu, or Madmartigan: I WILL DEFEND THE HONOR OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES AT ANY COST. Come and get it, you cold-hearted bastards! I got fingernails, high heels, a big purse, and...and some um, ah, pens that I can use as darts!...and my FISTS, you fuckers!

Also, I've been at work for 11 hours. Which is depressing.

And to anyone who has a problem with Amalthea, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Atreyu, or Madmartigan: I WILL DEFEND THE HONOR OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES AT ANY COST.

Wordy McWORD, tt_marie! When I was little, I thought Sorsha was the most beautiful evil princess in the world. I wanted Brand to save ME from the Fratelli's. I thought Gonzo and Camilla made for a charming love story. To this day I still can't hear Wesley scream when The Machine is turned to 50. And god fucking damnit, Hoggle was the best friend a girl could ask for to lead her through the labyrinth.

AND I STILL FEEL THIS WAY. If a guy wants to get to second base, he MUST appreciate and/or ignore this important aspect of me. >:(

Three to show:

Blade 3 (You can blame Ryan Reynolds for being lickable.)

To hide:

Con Air
Jersey Girl (Shut up. I love me some K-Smith.)
the Powerpuff Girls movie.

(I would say the Spongebob movie, but it kind of fits in with the stoner film genre as Brak Show)

Oh my god, Mara, the Spongebob Movie is SO funny. My brother and I almost wet ourselves when we first saw it...I...have problems.

And nice shout out to the Brak Show, we used to watch that in college.

Regarding Fraggle Rock (and then I'm getting back to work!): I didn't like it either. And I recently figured out WHY. It is kind of a depressing show. These thingies live under some old dudes' house? Or something? And it's all dark and they're kinda freaky looking and make jerky movements and...yeah. I always got this weirded out feeling watching it. Like this yukky bummy feeling.

Way to articulate. Good job, TT.

And now I'm seriously going to quit lookin' here and actually finish researching *filing requirements* for *marine terminal operators*!! Stars make it look exciting.

*yells over shoulder* - "Oh, and I HATE when they turn The Machine up to 50 too!!!"

Show:
Rosemary's Baby, Dogville, King of Zombies - Justification: must make sure her priorities are straight. If she can't hack it with psychological horror, devastating drama, and very offensive horror films, the relationship probably won't work out to well in the end.

Go:
From Justin to Kelly, Exorcist II: The Heretic, Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Justification: As much as I love J2K, you can't bust that shiz out till you really trust someone; Exorcist II: The Heretic, though one of my favorites, is one of the most reviled films of all time and could be a bad topic of discussion for I will get high and mighty and defend it to the death; and Hedwig sends the wrong kind of message, as awesome as it is.

That Madmartigan is the baddest badass in all of Nockmar? :)

"Peck peck peck peck peck peck peck!"

[gets down on one knee]

Julie, will you marry me?

:laughs my ass off:

I would be honored, Shadows.

Man, if I knew that quoting Willow would garner a marriage proposal I would do it more often. :)

"You're MOTHER was a lizard!"

YOUR. Sweet zombie Jesus, I got so flustered over my impending marriage that I committed one of the classic blunders (no, not getting involved in a land war with Asia), and one that every English major abhors.

jen310, I totally feel you on the Disney inner child. I visited my parents house at Christmas and stole all of my beloved Disney classic VHS tapes back to prominently display them beside both my original Star Wars boxset AND the special edition boxset.

... I feel I've revealed too much.

Stew:

Why is The Crow being hidden??? [I'm blaming bourbon and Brandon Lee love for posting & not lurking as per usual.]

clown porn

You know, it's not like I don't have a vague recognition of stuff like this being out in the world somewhere. But, oh, the horror that has just risen up from the screen to smite me.

*sobs* CLOWNS BAD! GO AWAY!

Stew, Sekhmet's right - The Crow could get you laid with the right person. Said person's toenails are probably painted black even as we speak.

P.S. Kay: I have a JD shelf too, and it's holding The Astronaut's Wife. Oh, yeah, I went there. I will now shamefacedly button up my little patheticardigan against the cold and return to lurkerdom.

Sekhmet: Because I'm an idiot and completely forgot about American Vampire ($2 bad "horror" movie, Carmen Electra, no boobs, I need new friends). Memory ain't what it used to be. Upon further perusal, you could also throw in Walking Tall 3: The Final Chapter.

Also, Sekhemt was a badass Samurai Trooper, though my favorite was Dais. For no reason really. If you're referring to Egyptian mythology don't mind my ramblings.

Clown porn is absolutely hilarious in its horror.

Alambama, it was the Beekeeper for you? I listened to a few tracks that I found online and hated them. I also have not liked what I have heard of American Doll Posse. I love Scarlet's Walk though. My favorite is still the first album.

Show:

Reservior Dogs - I use this one to impress. I've never seen it and probably wouldn't like it but he likely has and did.

The Usual Suspects - I use this one to initiate conversation. "When did YOU figure it out?"

The Princess Bride - Blatantly honest about my character yet not uncool. Any guy would respect the sword fight scenes, at least.

Turf:

LOTR 1, 2, 3 - They were freeee, ok?

Cheaper by the Dozen - Bought for me.

The Dukes of Hazzard - Simiilar story.

*inspects toenails*

Nope Gib. They're pink.

Stew, I don't think we're allowed to talk about *breaks into whisper* anime here. (I liked Sage.)

*normal voice* Name indeed derives from Egyptian mythos.

Hey now, this show was on Fox, an absolute bastion of Americanism (Before Cartoon Network of course). We're in the clear.

Sage was the best good guy, yes.

I say leave it all out there. If you don't like it, walk on.

I guess I flunk this diversion.

Bonus! Films that fit in both catagories:
Hackers(It's one of my favourites, but still not appreciated by all), Finding Nemo (Without kids this could come off as creepy), Final Destination series, Top Gun

Pissboy: much love for "They Live!" Longest fight scene in the history of movies I believe. Plus, the south park where they recreated the fight was AWESOME!
That movie and Maximum Overdrive are the best cheesy, awful, unintentionally funny movies ever!
Do I even want to know what that says about me?

"Oh my god, Mara, the Spongebob Movie is SO funny. My brother and I almost wet ourselves when we first saw it...I...have problems.

And nice shout out to the Brak Show, we used to watch that in college."

Yeah. I worked in a movie store when Spongebob came out and I thought it was hysterical, and parents of kids thought I was insane. Or a stoner.

(Ironically, to the guy who mentioned Finding Nemo upthread, that was the first movie I ever saw while stoned. Go figure.)

And I love the Brak Show. It is the funniest, most random little show on Adult Swim, or Cartoon Network, period. (Aside from some Aqua Teen - specifically, Handbanana.)

Thanks for the support Shadows of D and Mary. I don't feel so bad now for outing myself as a Disney animated film lover (Pixar too).

I just can't help myself - I am Disney's bitch.

Three to stay:

Lost in Translation
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Clue (because anyone who doesn't like it is dead to me, anyway)

To go:

Kung Pow (my friends in college were obsessed with it and it's sort of funny in a really, really, really low-brow sort of way, okay?)

Silent Hill (it's my husband's, which kind of makes the whole question moot, anyway, but whatever)

. . . can't think of a third one, because I would probably just pass anything else off as a guilty pleasure, and I figure that my taste is still better than most people's . . .

greer, someplace upthread you mentioned House of the Spirits in your hide pile. I've never seen the movie, but I motherfucking HATED that book. I don't care how much of a modern literary classic it's supposed to be, I thought it was a stinking heap of ass on fire. I had to read it for AP World Lit in my sophomore year of high school, and I hated it so much that I've never read another word by Isabel Allende.

Anyway, back on topic, it feels a little weird to be saying this but I wholeheartedly agree with Pissboy. This whole show/hide idea just isn't my kind of thing. Actually several people have said they think it's silly, but Pissboy said it first.

I never hide anything when a date or anyone else visits. If I don't want someone to know me well enough to be able look at my stuff, then I don't invite them over. Besides, if I had to hide every random, cheesy or theoretically embarrassing thing I owned, I may as well turn my house into a storage facility and move into a hotel. I'm one of those people who's far more inclined to display all my weirdest qualities right away. It saves a lot of time and weeds out the weaklings.

I have to agree with Sarina - I'm far more likely to showcase my X-files, animu, Bale collection (including Equilibrium, because you can never tell me that movie was not awesome), my serial killer antihero junk, and old dude + probably not legal girl stuff than hide it away like it shames me.
I don't date, but if for some strange reason I decided to start, I'd hide none of my interests. If the fact that I like Humbert Humbert and Patrick Bateman (and wish they were members of my family) freaks anyone out, it's because they're too weak to handle my immense power level.

I'm not even going to read the other comments until after I post. Often times, I find myself being influenced by other comments.

1. Stripes - It's my favorite, what can I say
2. Beautiful Girls - I love it and I can watch it over and over again
3. Weeds Season 1 & 2 - I can't get anyone else I know to watch this show. I love it and I have no one to talk to about it. Maybe the new beau will pick it up and ask about it

To Go
1. The Cliffhanger/Vertical Limit double feature - Hey, I like really bad movies. Now That I've typed this, I think I'm going to have to go put it on

2. Grey's Anatomy Boxed Set Season 1,2 & 3 - I'll only hide it because apparently it's cool to hate this show

3. Bare Escentuals Getting Started Make-up DVD - I can't throw away Books, CDs or DVDs so sadly I have this DVD in alphabetical order with the rest of them. I got it when I bought some make-up. At least it hasn't been unwrapped

Greer: I know, I know... *weeps* The worst thing is, when I was in HMV the day I bought it, I had that particular boxset in my left hand for £20, and a Hitchcok boxset for £25 in my right... And I went for the motherfucking Seagal boxset. I still wake up screaming sometimes.

As long as it's not midget or clown porn.

uh oh...

What if it's clown midget porn? Do the 2 negate themselves somehow?

American Beauty
Pulp Fiction
Shaun of the Dead

Hollywood Homicide
Bulletproof Monk
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemena

Seconding the Cussack love as well. Gross Point Blank and High Fidelity have to be two of my all time favorites.

I think clown midget porn will just open a hole in the fabric of space if it were ever created. The sheer horrorificness of the idea would be enough to send everybody in a five mile radius into Cthulhuian madness. Mankind itself will be sucked into the nethers of space, doomed to spend all eternity lamenting their tenuous hold on sanity, as the folds of time close around them and draw them into a chilling future of pain and suffering.

Or, you know...really be awful. Either or.

Timberlake on SNL, still my favorite muppet moment........

I really wish everyone would stop hating on Love, Actually. I LOVED IT.

I cringe everytime I read apologies for - gasp! - seeing it and liking it even a little....
There are FAR worse movies, people.

I'd be screwed, basically. There's not enough room anywhere to hide the complete Star Trek series on DVD. Which series, you ask? All of them! And all the movies, except for the fifth one - I like to pretend that never happened. So...I'd just be hoping he doesn't hate it. (Fortunately my boyfriend doesn't!)

Midget clown porn does exist. But as far as I know, it is midget with clown, not midget as clown. Though I know of far worse porn.

Bonus points, anyone???

You had me at "The Crow," but you may have lost me with this last bit...wait...was that with Bridget?

The first two are still good for a laugh at the right scenes, but I really need to just throw Boondock Saints away. It deserves it. I really fucking hate that movie and people who love it.

"...was that with Bridget?"

Awww...I recognize that name...

Lickoriche, was that Kama Sutra the version with Sarita Choudhury & Naveen Andrews? 'Cause I kinda like that one.

Nope, that one is called "a tale of love", the one I have is "the perfumed garden". It is about a guy who can't get it up for his lady but is obsessed with a statue in India. It is revealed that he is the reincarnation of the statue's lover who is doomed to impotence except with her. The statue becomes a woman when she feels her lovers presence or something like that.

It was a horrible movie that I would love to get rid of, but my husband has an unnatural attachment to dvds and will not let me get rid of even duplicates. I have a feeling that in like 10 years I will kinda remember the plot and mistakingly think I liked it and pick it up again on amazon or something only to be dissapointed yet again.
