Confessions of a Cinephile: My 'GUILTY' PLEASURE Movies.

[@willhemmings]

Thank you. This channel is officially my comfort blanket. Best train chase sequence EVER is in The Wrong Trousers, better than The General, The Train, Silver Streak and the Mission Impossible films. Honesty time, so I own up to guilty pleasures, Earthquake, The Naked Gun, Tangled, Tenet and also the entire James Bond franchise. Among these my special favourites are the reviled ones almost all fans think of as the worst, because I always root for the underdog - Die Another Day, Quantum of Solace, A View to a Kill, OHMSS, and best of all Tomorrow Never Dies

@@willhemmings Thank you for those very kind words Will! I'm glad you like the channel that much, means a lot! We both share love for Bond then, although some of yours, the 'unlikeable' bunch, I really don't care for!

[@willhemmings]

@@reel_reflections I understand, but someone's got to love those uncared for Bond films. Just to say, I was thinking about the idea you said Danny Boyle had about sending the train chase from The Wrong Trousers into space and there before me was the opening for a film in which alien beings come upon the sequence and assume the entire species of the uncharted planet are Wallace, Gromit and the penguin. They are disappointed that earth is inhabited by the inventor's less capable creations. Failing to find the inventor and his two assistants, the aliens recreate them, and havoc breaks out. You heard it here first

Thank you.

Moonraker has a great John Barry score and is a Bond movie I've always enjoyed. Commando and Roadhouse rule !!

[@reel_reflections]

@@gavnewton77 Moonraker is one of Barry's best scores I agree!

[@DOUBLEA1]

My turn for breakfast gromit. I'll have a three minute egg and OWWWW STEADY ON!

Reel reflections ever thought of making a discord server? It could be a place to continue the discussion for us cinephiles.

[@reel_reflections]

I haven't actually.. But maybe it's something I will consider for the future of the channel for sure!

I've had my 2 brothers and my wife question my RoboCop poster and steel book I have on display. I know what they think (In their minds what is this? he has these foreign films by Kurosawa, Ozu, Bergman, how does this fit in?) , but I understand what they think and how my ideas of RoboCop are very different from theirs.

[@reel_reflections]

@@heartofcinema3454 I live in the same world as you where one can love both Ozu and Robocop! I know exactly what you mean, I love Robocop (and a lot of Verhoeven's work in fact) for reasons that many people probably don't.

[@gavnewton77]

Is that the Kubrick Archives I spy in the background ?

[@reel_reflections]

@@gavnewton77 It is! Before they released a more compact version of the book 😅

[@gavnewton77]

@reel_reflections I have that one and the Bergman one and the huge Bond one !

[@reel_reflections]

@@gavnewton77 I wanted the Bond one for sure. They did a Chaplin and Disney one too if I recall.

[@heartofcinema3454]

Godzilla (not the orignal or -1 these are just great films), but the Showa era and heisei era films, some are pretty dumb but fun to watch

[@reel_reflections]

Good shout, thinking about it, I feel a lot of monster movies could fall into the guilty pleasures category.

[@DOUBLEA1]

My guilty pleasures are the carry on films 😅 I just find the that humour hilarious.

[@reel_reflections]

They made my film franchises I hate video series so I can't say I share the same guilt there 😆

[@DOUBLEA1]

​@@reel_reflections HAHA. each to their own ey? 😂

[@reel_reflections]

@@DOUBLEA1 Does nostalgia play a part in it for you?

[@DOUBLEA1]

@@reel_reflections I'm 21 years of age so no haha. I just find the comedy whilst being rather offensive, very refreshing because of how woke comedy is now.

[@reel_reflections]

@@DOUBLEA1 Interesting! You still could have grown up with them though? I feel most comedy by definition has always been 'woke' (one can extend this to most creative cultural industries in a sense). It's why right-wing comics are both rare and notoriously unfunny.
