| Blog Harbor Challenge Prompt - Day 9: Guilty Pleasure Day! What movie is your greatest guilty pleasure? The movie you know is terrible, but can't help watching every time you channel surf and happen across it? The movie you're almost afraid to admit you like, and yet find yourself popping in the DVD player or streaming a few times a year anyway? Confess your guilty pleasure and tell us what you like about it! Recently, after the untimely passing of David Bowie, I hosted a Labyrinth viewing party in my house. I was very excited to introduce one of my favorite movies from my youth to my daughter. She loved it, from start to finish. She loved the music and the muppets and the "bog of eternal stench". She delighted in the weird characters, the shriveled apple-faced goblins and the heroine. My husband abandoned us about midway through. Admittedly, years and years later watching it again, I found it pretty cringe-worthy at parts. The special effects were pretty pedestrian and the dialogue pretty lacking in substance. It was not by any stretch of the imagination, a great film. BUT, there was Bowie...and his music and his terrible,but awful catching "Magic Dance and Chilly Down" numbers. There was that horrendous 80's hair and glam, and there was, dare I mention it, the Goblin King's impressive....ball juggling skills...(what did you think I was going to say?..." All in all, the reviewing of this classic clearly redefined it in my mind as one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. |
