Guilty Pleasure Movies (not the Hallmark variety)

Final Destination (2000)

I just noticed they are on HBO Max, so of course I'm going to watch them, all of them, instead of watching something delightful with Park Eun-bin. I've only seen the ones listed above.

Why do I enjoy these films so much when they always make me wince and cringe?

Side note: I don't own any of the DVDs from this series except one, the fourth installment, The Final Destination (2009) and I cannot not play it because it is Region 2. Why did I buy it?

I am adding
Final Destination 5 (2011)

The Final Destination (2009) - you are dead to me

The Universal Monster movies of the thirties and forties.

Dracula
Frankenstein
The Old Dark House
Island of Lost Souls
The Mummy
The Invisible Man
The Black Cat
Bride of Frankenstein
Werewolf of London
The Raven
Son of Frankenstein
The Mummy's Hand
The Black Cat
The Wolf Man
Ghost of Frankenstein
The Mummy's Tomb
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
The Mummy's Ghost
House of Frankenstein
The Mummy's Curse
House of Dracula
and I would include
Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein

There are a LOT of films made by Universal in the thirties and forties. I listed my favorites. These are the ones I watched in the late sixties and during the seventies. There are some I did not list, but they are not my favorite. RKO and Monogram deserve their own list.


I'm glad this is not the BEST films. Not all of my favorite films are the "best."
