Movies and shows you keep coming back to even though you don't really like them

[Adrastia]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched Juwanna Mann, Bride of Chucky, Son Of Chucky, Little Man and White Chicks despite how terrible they are. And I really hate Bride/Son of Chucky with a passion. Yet I keep coming back to them anyway. Why do I torture myself?

I tried to convince myself they are so bad they are good. And maybe that's why I keep watching. Like somehow these movies will magically become like The Room and the trainwreck is so bad that it's enjoyable.

Doesn't sound like you dislike those films lol.

Anyway uhhh Asylum Films because they're usually very goofy.

I'll second Asylum Films. You can do better on the "so bad it's good" front, but I still keep falling for them anyway.

Right, not to question the topic buuuuuut it sounds like you're a fan of Juwanna Man, Son of Chucky, and White Chicks. I've seen a little of all of those movies, Once. Definitely not a repeat customer; maybe this is actually a guilty pleasure thread?

EDIT: Best I can think of, was watching TV at a house where I didn't have control of the remote, and they didn't have many channels....I saw Free Willy a few times that way.

It might not be quite “keep coming back to” as much as barely coming back to and surprised how I even watched it again, per how disgusted I am by it at a visceral level.
How did I forget how much more than disdain I feel for Ren & Stimpy. I see its genius that is why I tried watching again 20 years later.
It might be an overbearing OCD hyper clean Catholic mother, or something. It is too raw.

I can watch Batman V Superman at least 4 or 5 more times than the 4 or 5 times I've already watched it. I hate this movie, but I find it so baffling and yet at the same time fascinating.

I'm so sorry, that is *not* a short movie to have that problem with, you're losing whole days here!

Unironically (I was 10-11yo) Fraiser. I think the other options were bad in my limited cable tv, at the timeslot. But I did burn through seasons of this as a teen. My Father was a Fraiser type (although he wanted to see himself as a Seinfield type) so I might have been primed for the humor (family has radio and orchestra and poetry careers).

Maybe. They're terrible. Yet for some reason I gotta watch. And I really do think they are bad. Yet I can't pinpoint why I still want to watch. It's just one of those things.

Serious:
Forever Knight is a classic 90s show, especially worth checking out if you’re into vampire stories. It’s not your typical cop show... mainly because the lead, Nicholas Knight, is a vampire about 400 years old trying to regain his humanity by saving people. It’s a darker, more atmospheric take on the vampire genre, blending crime drama with supernatural themes. Not for everyone, since it’s a bit slow and dated, but a solid pick for fans of vampires and noir stories.
Forever Knight had some really good music, if nothing else.

Despite knowing there's a lot of BS I still watch Shark Tank and Master Chef from time to time.

Marvel movies.

I had a good time with some Avengers, Spider-Man, Captain America movies, but otherwise, I always watch them when it's on TV, never really understand what's the plot but keeps watching.

 

[Daigorou]

I have a same thought just like everyone else, you really like those movies.. :)

for me, Versus (2000) it's bad in a positive way, but i thiiiiink~ this movie is good enough to suggest it to someone else?
The bad guys fighting a horde of zombie is so stylish, i believe most people (especially gamers) may know this movie already and what they think the first time they see it.

Anything with Danny Trejo. No homo, but I really love Trejo. He's like the garlic sriracha sauce you can put on anything to make it edible.

I was so disappointed when he died *immediately* in Predators. (Mahershala Ali goes early too, they really murder a lot of the talent quick in that movie).
