Top 5 Movies I Don’t Ever Want To Admit I Liked

I like to think of myself as a somewhat evolved lover of the motion picture arts, but sometimes I just like to watch a mindless flick. These are the top 5 movies that I previously had never admitted to liking…

Yes, I actually took this picture... let the ridicule come

Serendipity
I’m a sucker for a Cusack movie, no doubt. Add in Kate Beckinsale and I’m sold. I’m not sure what’s more lame, that I own this movie or that I went out of my way while in NYC to actually go to the Serendipity III restaurant that the main characters dine at in the flick.

Negative Guy Points: -5

Kid + Helmet = nap time

The Game Plan
I’ve been putting off seeing this one until recently, but damnit, I didn’t hate it. Special thanks to the person who made me watch it. I used to love watching the Rock crack heads with the People’s Elbow back in the day, but I’m still not 100% comfortable with seeing him in “serious’ acting roles. However, a couple more movies like this and I’ll actually think the guy has a future.

Guy Points: -13

One of these kids will grow up to be in porn... which will it be?

Any Harry Potter Movie
I talked a lot of crap to my fraternity brothers who read the books and discussed the finer points of Hogwarts over pitchers of beer at Shaker’s, but I can’t really hate too much. There’s something about a coke bottle-glassed kid and magic that gets me going!

Guy Points: -1 (there are some good merits to these movies)

Ummmm... yeah

Mean Girls
Come on. We all know why I like this… because Tina Fey wrote it, jeez people. How old were those girls when they made this anyway? Probably not 18. Plus, I’m a big fan of using a bus to solve problems at any point in a story arc, just ask my roommate. I cheer when someone gets bussed.

Guy Points: with the sound on -5, with the sound off +2

I think it's weird they made a poster for guys for a movie aimed at girls

John Tucker Must Die
I don’t know why, but if this movie is on TV, I’ll watch it. I can’t explain it, but then again, I think Sophia Bush is the hottest non-teenage teenager ever.

Guy Points: with sound on -5, with sound off -1 (still not good enough to get it to the positive side)
