Your "Guilty Pleasure" Favourite Films

[groucho070]

Credit: "Critics and Confession" comment by Thirumaran.

Okay, we all have them in our collection. It's time to come out of the closet and admit that you like them. I think I have done in the past, with regards to pre-Nayagan Kamal films like Per Sollum Pillai, Manggama Sabatham, Kathal Parisu and heck, I even liked Viratham that I bet many Kamal fans didn't watch.

Other guilty pleasure of mine include the films Sathyaraj did with Shakti Chitambaram - Mahanadigan, Englishkaran, Kovai Brothers and the recent Guru Sishyan. Silly Sathyaraj lollu makes me laugh anyway.
:oops:

[Plum]

Guilty pleasure as in revisit often but would not like to admit?

[groucho070]

Something like that.

Could be that it's playing in the TV, and you watch 'em anyway, and, yes, not admit especially here where highbrow types might look down on you. Or so you might feel.

[Plum]

apdi edhuvum perusA (unconfessed)illai. "Ranga" countless times in theatre but I have recounted that many times in Hub.
sendhUrappUvE countless times in theatre - again confessed in Honestraj thread.

High Brow Intellectual: why did you watch sendhurappUvE many times?
Me: Because I could.

I could say this: Vijayakanth movies neraiya, interest-Oda pArthurukkEn. Again, that is also quite well-known to people who visit the Honestraj thread.
True guilty pleasure-nA, it is this:

I quite liked Sarathkumar in some moments in some of his movies, especially one involving him to be bashfully comic - kattabomman, the movie where kasthuri dares us "nAn Adi kAttattumA recordu danceu" etc. I mean, quite to the extent of "nallA dhAnE paNdrAru idhellAm..."

Remember his bashful pointing to Vadivelu when "minnal" tharai-thEchufies with her feet in front of him in the mAyee "Vadivelu poNnu pArkum" scene? I quite like that persona of his.

[kid-glove]

Favorite guilty pleasure got to be Makkal Thilagam films. Not all, for I think films like Kudi. Kovil, Anbe Vaa, EVP, AO, etc could be enjoyed without overburdening sense of guilt.

[groucho070]

Nothing wrong with those films, Thilak. They are classics.

If it's Makkal Thilagam, my guilty pleasure will be duds like Tedivantha Mappilai, or even Ninaitathai Mudippavan.

NT guilty pleasure? Ah, far too many... :think:

[kid-glove]

Yes, that's what I said. Those are the exceptions. :)

[P_R]

Visu films

Remote lock aayirum

[kid-glove]

Veerasaamy - urination scene, song sequences - especially the gestures, the ending.

Dharmapuri - thambala thattu acting as bulletproof, Captain kicking one guy sets off a pack of cards motion with a whole bunch of baddies, lined up behind him. (Tho the credit goes to Ramarajannan for bringing this kind of action sequences to TFI. In one film, he lines up all the goons in a straight line. And in one flying motion, fists down everyone. :notworthy: )

[P_R]

Wait a moment. I think watching it with the perverse pleasure of laughing at the film, heckling etc. does not qualify.

Films you seem to inexplicably like 'as is' is what we are talking about.

Confession is for the brave. Kamaan now.

People will be disallowed from quoting from this thread in future film-appreciation arguments.

[kid-glove]

I trust our hubbers wouldn't get pedantic about all this.

But I think Groucho started this thread for 'as is' films that appeals for inexplicable reasons. Not unintentionally funny films (I think there's another thread for this).

[groucho070]

No, laughing at or heckling no qualify. Only like-like qualify. Genuine like.

Another one that will raise many eyebrows: 123. Yes that film with Master Sundaram's kids. I like it, and thought the boys did well.

[groucho070]

One NT film, really stupid one, that I revisited many times: Yamanukku Yaman. Garish costumes, frightening wigs aside, it was pretty funny.

[kid-glove]

Tik Tik Tik.
Fails completely as a thriller. Whimsical story. Direction is appalling. But completely enticed by always agreeable Madhavi :P

[Plum]

MadhavilAm guilty pleasurela kaNakku vaRAdhu. It is a healthy and legitimate pleasure, I say.

[groucho070]

Rajini = Kazhugu. Fast paced total masala flick. I adore the ending.

More Kamal = Guru, Ullasa Paravaigal. I don't mind even revisiting Japanil Kalyanaraman, enakku terinja orey Tamizh film sequel of that time, just for Kalyanam.

[groucho070]

MadhavilAm guilty pleasurela kaNakku vaRAdhu. It is a healthy and legitimate pleasure, I say.Yes. For this thread, I'd add Ambika & Amala to this list.

[equanimus]

Hmm, just thought a bit about what my list would be. ammUr padangaLla idhu konjam tough call illa? I mean, the "nothing great, good timepass" angle is so ubiquitous that it's hard to say where the line of guilty pleasures starts for oneself.

[equanimus]

For starters, several films of Rajini and Kamal.

As some of you know, guru sishyan is right on top for me! Rajini is in great form here. Also, rAjAdhi rAja, mannan, aNNAmalai, uzhaippALi and so on. Most of the late 80s-early 90s Rajini films are truly addictive in this sense. Even the fairly turgid melodramas like dharmaththin thalaivan, dharmadhurai do the trick for yours truly.

[kid-glove]

MadhavilAm guilty pleasurela kaNakku vaRAdhu. It is a healthy and legitimate pleasure, I say.

[littlemaster1982]

[equanimus]

Yeah, mostly from the 80-90s timeframe. Karthik, Prabhu, Sathyaraj, Vijayakanth 'nu adukkittE pOga vENdiyadhu dhAn.

[groucho070]

Many Prabhu Deva philims. Rising star, wonderful performer-nu nambi iruntha kaalam athu.

List:

Kathala Kathala (share with Kamal's list)
Nam Iruvar Namakiruvar

Time for me to :oops:

[equanimus]

Yeah, I also thought of nAm iruvar namakkiruvar! You're right on the money. Prabhu Deva is a good candidate here.

Bhagyaraj's 90s films. Hopelessly anachronistic, but fun nevertheless.

[raajarasigan]

I like Bagyaraj and FravudevA films.
Hardly feel embarassed about them.

Gurudhanapal films rejetted from this thread. Please refer to Annan's thread for clarification :D

RK Selvamani, good candidate. Makkal Aatchi & Arasiyal, good companion pieces.

[equanimus]

P_R,
But 90s Bhagyaraj became very different from 80s, right? In one sense, he was making the same kind of films, but I think he also got stuck in a time warp and didn't adapt to the new status quo form, because of which his films were generally immersed in plot mechanics, and often very stagey (think ammA vandhAchchu and such).

[littlemaster1982]

Bhagyaraj - Rudra
PD - Kaadhalan. Apart from the songs/visuals, I like the film itself. Can watch any number of times.

[raajarasigan]

Poonthotta Kaavalkaaran

Vigneshwar (Karthik) - watched it twice in theater and I still think this is a decent film. Didn't have a chance to watch again.

Seevalaperi Paandi (Napolean) - I read the book first and Paandi was almost a childhood hero for me. Eagerly expected this film then and watched it twice in theater. In fact have been hunting for the VCD/DVD recently.

[equanimus]

I guess we first need to define what it means to to feel guilty about liking a film.

It has to be cliched, regressive in terms of both form and content, எந்த ஒரு vision 'க்கான சுவடும் அறவே இருக்கக் கூடாது (no traces of a vision whatsoever), and should have (to use a Tamil film criticism cliche) nothing new in it. எதையெதையோ எடுத்துப் புரட்டிப் போட்டு ஒரு படமா எடுத்தா மாதிரி இருக்கணும் (ஆனா சுமாரா நல்லாவே இருக்கணும்).

How ees this?

Yeah that was Prasannakumar. Apart from that comedy track and two item numbers, it is a decent film. Actually I like one of those item numbers sung by Swarnalatha :oops:

Edit: Re: Childhood hero, I was 11 when I read that book and he was like a hero to me, though he was a criminal in real.

K.Rajeshwar wrote the screenplay. Directed by Prathap Pothen.

I knew nothing about the book until you mentioned, but I was talking about standard mythical tropes like the hero hiding in a well-wishing woman's house and the latter protecting him from kAvalALigaL by pretending that she has her lover visiting her, etc. These things can be seen in different films (sIvalappEri, mAyan) and as per my understanding, comes from our literature.

Credit: "Critics and Confession" comment by Thirumaran.

Okay, we all have them in our collection. It's time to come out of the closet and admit that you like them. I think I have done in the past, with regards to pre-Nayagan Kamal films like Per Sollum Pillai, Manggama Sabatham, Kathal Parisu and heck, I even liked Viratham that I bet many Kamal fans didn't watch.

Other guilty pleasure of mine include the films Sathyaraj did with Shakti Chitambaram - Mahanadigan, Englishkaran, Kovai Brothers and the recent Guru Sishyan. Silly Sathyaraj lollu makes me laugh anyway.
:oops:

Actually along with these the confessions i was looking was on the reviewing side.

One example..
When in Kovai, saw VTV with HR. Actually he was pre occupied with how to review the movie in hub while watching. Also thinking for long time on how to put that across hub. Actually he did not like the movie..But he consoled himself and came with a review with it is kind of OK or good movie.
Padam paarthathu night show.. room kku vanthum kooda yosichittu irunthaapla :P
Now on these lines will the people here ready to confess on things like the below ones

any special preparation for reviewing...
before reviewing want to be different from others and hence the nature of review...
for ur favorites certain yardstick and for others different....
efforts to make professional language for reviewing.....
Would have liked a Masala movie but criticizing for the sake of it..
and such many more factors..

Most of the times i feel Such Professional reviews dont come out of heart. :roll:

Anyone ready to confess :noteeth:

Reg. dual role movies where bad one replaces good one and passes all "identity" stuff etc., two earlier MGR movies than the ones mentioned in this thread come to mind:

Asai mugam (Ramdoss turns into MGR with a "surgery" on face and replaces him. B&W movie, quite thrilling!)

&

ninaiththadhai mudippavan (one of the rarest cases where MGR acted as a baddie, albeit with some justification in the end as to why, Nambiar is a good man in this movie, saves MGR's sis Saradha from a rape attempt etc. Some scenes copied from Asai mugam, e.g. harmonica replaced with clarinet etc)
...

Though I don't have any "guilt" attached to it, need to re-post here my liking for these "dual role" films, however recycled / banal / trashed by critics etc they can be.

Best recent example - ATM. (I haven't seen the durga film, though).

Perhaps MGR's neethikiu thalai vanaungu may also fit the bill.....

[jaiganes]

yes it is vijayan - not vijayakumar.
It was just b4 paayum puli days and karate obsession thanks to burus lee filims was at an all time high. karate mani made hay while a superior karate artist sheehan husseini missed the bus by just a couple of years - got wasted in some kavithalaya movies (Velaikkaaran, Punnagai mannan and unnai solli kutramillai).

[hattori_hanzo]

Some disasters, washouts and superflop movies - those that were never talked about - especially the early movies of superstars. I like to see how bad it is and why they were'nt accepted by buplik - guilty pleasure :ashamed: . Maria My Darling, Un Kannil Neer Vazhindhal, Pagadai Pannirendu, Rajini's cowboy movies(there were 2 right?), - fall under this category, i believe.

I'd see Ishtar and Hudson Hawk too, someday.

[Querida]

Visu movies and movies with Mohan and I mean any movie with Mohan not just "Mouna Raagam" and "Mella Thiranthathu Kathavu"... :oops: I always get pulled in by the songs and think the movie will live up to the beauty/genius of the music.. :oops:

My intro to Tamil movies were from the only two Tamil video cassettes we had, which I watched repeatedly over those years: "Uthaman" and"Ooty Varai Uravu" :oops: (at that time I could not make head or tail of the titles and just pleaded with Amma to watch "that Tamil movie Amma with the doctor!" "That Tamil movie...Ooty something":ashamed: other NT repeats that I've watched: "Karnan", "Rajapart Rangadurai" and "Bale Pandiya"

unabashedly anything with Kamal or by KB
The only Rajini movie I've watched repeatedly would be "Moondru Mudichu" ( i watched this with much terror, and not fully the first three times...it was only the fourth time I watched it properly)

i had never heard of these movies till I saw them on TV/Internet & hence did not expect them to be hits. Not even the songs. They are'nt even as popular as these's superstar's other flops released during the same time.
btw, does this 100 days/75 days run prove that they were not BO disasters? Those were the times when a movie was called a hit only when it had a long run in not one but many theatres rite?

Excellent candidate. I must have watched the first half about 30+ times and the entire film about 10+ times. Every time its shown on TV, I always watch it. I saw the first half last week as well.

Mythological films, anyone? No, not the famous ones like thiruvilaiyaadal, kanthan karunai etc. I don't seem to remember the names of these films but these are films with an episodic structure. Split into 7-8 episodes usually. Raj digital plus exclusives :-)

'கதாநாயகன்'

பாண்டியராஜன், எஸ்.வி.சேகரின் அமர்க்களமான காமெடி.

குறிப்பாக முதலாளி மலேசிய வாசுதேவனும், பயில்வான் ரெங்கநாதனும் பாண்டியராஜனையும், S.V.சேகரையும் சி.ஐ.டி.க்கள் என்று நினைத்து பதறி ஓடும் காட்சிகள்.

தன்னை B.Com Gold medalist என்று வர்ணித்துக்கொள்ளும் பாண்டியராஜன், ஒரு சாதாரண படகில் ஏறி ஒரே இரவில் துபாய்க்குப்போய் இறங்கிவிட முடியுமா என்ற பொது அறிவு கூட இல்லாமல் இருப்பது போன்ற அபத்தக்களஞ்சியங்கள் இருந்தபோதிலும், அவற்றையும் மீறி ரசிக்க வைத்த நகைச்சுவைக்காட்சிகள். இவற்றுக்காக திருப்பித்திருப்பி பார்த்த படம்.ஒரு காட்சி இன்னமும் ஞாபகத்தில் இருக்கிறது. கொச்சினில் பாண்டியராஜன் எஸ்.எஸ்.சந்திரனை ஏற்கனவே தெரியும் என தன்னை அவரிடம் அடையாளப்படுத்திக்கொள்ள எஸ்.வி.சேகருடன் செல்வார்.

சந்திரன் : யாருப்பா நீ? உன்னை எனக்கு ஞாபகம் இல்லையே?
பா.ராஜன் : என்ன ஞாபகம் இல்ல? நாந்தாங்க சின்ன வயசில உங்க பக்கத்து வீடு! உங்களோட சோப்பு ஒரு வாட்டி கிணத்துல விழுந்த போது நான் எடுத்துக் கொடுத்தேன்..
சந்திரன் : ஓ! அவனா நீ! இப்ப ஞாபகம் வருது. சரி. நீ சோப்பு எடுத்துக்கொடுத்த. ஞாபகம் வருது. நீ யாருப்பா ( எஸ்.வி.சேகரைப் பார்த்து)
எஸ்.வி.சேகர் : என்னை ஞாபகம் இல்லை? நாந்தாங்க சோப்பு டப்பி எடுத்துக்கொடுத்தேன்.

Ennathan preconceived notion-oda partaalum, if the film is good, and wins me over, I write as it is.
but ithanaala, normal aa paakura maathiri yaana padangal konjam rasikka mudiyaama poaga chance irukku illayaa ?It's a curse, if you make attempt to find out more before the movie is released. Inggeye almost full script reveal pannidurangga, athukku meela almost no one is really neutral, anyone is a fan of somebody or have strong opinions about certain talents. It will affect, but end of the day the filmakers who do a good job can help erase the negative preconceptions and vice versa. More ejjample, Surya. Not a fan, lots of opinion about him, but really liked him in Aytha Ezhuttu and Ayyan :)


Saradha mdm, the original Malayalam version is a classic, the Tamizh remake is definitely a guilty pleasure since it's a poor remake, yet still have re-watchable qualities.

yesterday I was watching parts of "nan pEsa ninaippadhellam"

never thought that Vikraman films will become so outdated.. it was unintentionally funny for most part.. except vivek's scenes & those were mokkai at its best..

vikraman mostly turns kumudham / ananda viktan jokes into comedy scenes

unintentional fun - 1. Ananda Babu's disco dance :rotfl3: :rotfl3: < u shud watch with friends who are good at commenting others > & his sentiment performance// oh my god.. damn funny.. even I commented, "dei vaanathai pola'vum konjam adhigama puzhinjalum indha alavukku mokkaiya irukkadhu"

u f -2:
Anand Babu was asked to come to the recording theater next day for singing <his first chance>
once he comes back home he takes his armoniya petti & starts composing few tunes & vivek, Mohini selects the most popular tune "yElelan kiLiye ennai thaalattum isaiye".. the point in this scene.. he is a singer & he will be going to sing which the MD allots to him.. then y he seriously composes a song :lol:

despite of all these Vikki had been in the industry for 20 yrs & was active for almost 12 yrs with some blockbusters

[interz]

NEW, no doubt.

I like the movie, and have watched it several times.

Anbe Aaruyire is another movie with similar kind of presentation.

[jinju]

ah...super thread!

Mumbai Express: don't know whether this one classifies as 'guilty pleasure' but definitely popular opinion is not so kind on this one, so i think i'l include it. watched 6th time couple of days back on dvd, n this was the first time my wife too sat down to watch it, n she too was like "nallaa dhaan irukku, y so much bad opinion on this?!" Pasupathy as Mr. A n' Vaiyyapuri as Mr. C r total riots. feel pasupathy has never been better utilized as he has been in kamalji's 2 films.

Vedan:oops:: was bigtime into Sarath Kumar those days after Suryan so much so that i watched this 2 times in theatre itself, tho i remember this wasn't a good one as the former. recently watched it on KTV too...that "oru vedan vedan varugiraan' song was one of my favorites, still get goosebumps when i saw it! watched 'I Love India' too in the first few days of its release, but remember that was a torture, and that ended my love affair with the supreme star!

Marudhamalai: Mainly for Vadivel's comedy track. Arjun was not bad too. one of his better films in recent times i think. suraj, the director, has moved on to better times, deservedly too.

Coimbatore Maappilai, Vishnu, and the ilk:oops:: Cutting classes n watching some of Vijay's b-grade films was sort of an obsession. and we were a group then. possibly explains vijay's popularity in kerala. starved of a young actor who cud dance like a dream and fight well, all mixed with sanghvi jingcha, these films were our idea of entertainment at that age unfortunately. fortunately i grew up and moved on, but vijay doesn't seem to have!

Jana: Baasha reloaded, a disinterested Ajith doesn't seem to deter me from watching this shaji kailas movie whenever it comes on tv. yes, Ajith's presence is the only reason i can think of as an explanation. same with Aegan, like it better than the original jus coz of the lead actor.

so many more, will recollect n write.

Agree with you guys that Pasupathy is a scene-stealer in Kamal's films. Well utilized in deed.

Btw not sure how many would have watched it, but Vijay Raaz is slightly better than Pasupathy in Hindi version.

Had the pleasure of watching Perarasu's thiruppathi *ing Ajith and Sadhaa. I watched till it got all serious with sister's delivery and all that sentimental s**t.
For all the cliches around hero establishment, hero heroine falling in love - everything was done in "dhamaal" perarasu style.... It was literally exploding every second and no dull moment at all.
The fantastic scene - I loved to the tilt was...
Livingston blabbering in live TV in a meeting about Pyramid Natarajan.
MSbaskar tells PN about a "koolippadai" in his hand @ a price of 10L.
Riyaz khan walks in and PN tells about his irritation with Livingstone.
Riyaz calls Ajith and PN scolds him as to why he is friends with Ajith a mere sound services man.
Cut to Ajith appearing in the live TV coverage beating up livingston and a few frantinc shaking of the live TV coverage which goes up in grainy rains and in a few seconds in PN's house as everybody wondering Ajith's speed, he is already dragging Livingston all in blood and clothes torn into PN's house..
MSBhaskar: enna speed, Anga inputtu inge outputtu!!

I have seen many loud moments in indian screen, but this is unbelievably entertaining...

HR, i think this is the dubbing of his malayalam film 'Vairam' which is based on a true incident that happened in kerala, of a father taking the law into his own hands to avenge the rape and murder of his teenage daughter. while the film was not so much of a commercial success, pasupathy's performance was lauded.

Mouna Ragam.

Well, it is not a favorite exactly, though I have it, and not guilty exactly but I feel obliged to mention that I am not a Mani Rathnam fan, owning it is not a reflection of my tastes per se, I'm not that kind of person... OK maybe a little bit guilty.

[groucho070]

ilekani, remba confusion-o?

Adding to my list.

Billa, the Ajith version, which I admitted then that it was an improvement to Rajini's version.

I still watch it as I did recently when it was on TV. Still highly entertaining. Except maybe the last twenty minutes or so.

[ilekani]

ilekani, remba confusion-o?
.

That was embarassment, not confusion. It was a difficult admission, now my reputation is now forever besmirched. :-)

[groucho070]

And what reputation is that? People are more likely to jump on you if say Mouna Ragam can't hold candle next to upcoming blockbuster Oruthalai Kathal.

Mouna Ragam is one of those films that even the most hardened cynical revisionist critic would grudgingly admit is a fine motion picture. You are in a fine company. I am not a fan of Surya, but I don't mind watching Ayyan again, and I don't consider that a guilty pleasure at all.

*Yes, but Rajiv Menon made it clear that the film was inspired form the book (and from the Ang Lee movie too, i guess).
*I don't think we can rush to the conclusion that he was weak as a director, he did two critically acclaimed movies and this one did succeed India wide whilst MK was big in the multiplexes. And plus, after all today's leading multiplex man, Gautham Menon is from his school of filmmaking after all.
*What was so wrong about roles? The charcter development of the 4 mains (barring Abbas) was such a relief in the ages of the Padayappas and the Vijaykanth starrers. And the secondary cast - Raghuvaran, Manivannan, Srividya, the grandfather all remain memorable (Lakshmi wasn't in the film ;) )
*Yes songs good - locations too - Karaikudi town and then Chennai city (with beautiful Scotland & Egypt there too)
