I know I shouldn't laugh, but...

"City of Angels" - Meg Ryan vs Big Rig. I was told by coworkers that I was a terrible person when I admitted to laughing hysterically when she got nailed by the truck.

You're not a terrible person. It was just a Darwin Award in the making the way she was riding the bike (no helmet, eyes closed, stupid pose)

Not to mention the fact that she had about twenty years to turn or hit the breaks on her bike. Heck, even if she just fell off her bike it would have been a lot smarter than just careening right into the slow-moving truck.

Count me in on those who totally laughed at that scene.

Oh man, I knew she was a goner when she was freaking out over that fruit salad and left to get some 'sweet-ass' ingredient. Then I saw the truck and thought, "Yesss!"

My friend and I laughed our asses off during that movie, much to her preacher Mom's concern. There's this seen in the hospital, I think... it's supposed to be this intense moment, but his shirt is unbottoned in a way to display his pimp-tastic chest hair, and he's weirdly sweaty, like he did a line of coke and walked onto the set... then he stares at her and asks in this really weird voice, "Do you have pain?" My friend and I both just lost it... Ah, what a craptastic movie.

Seriously though, any movie that resolves itself with a truck-- I can' t take it seriously.

The pottery scene in Ghost. So cheesy, and most likely the least erotic scene ever. Also: The scene where the bad guy gets his come-uppance.

National Treasure - pretty much whenever Nic Cage dorks out over American history, but especially "The last time [the Constitution of Independance] was here, it was being signed." At least, I didn't laugh in the way they were supposed to be laughed at (if they were meant to be laughed at all).

Speaking of over-Patriotism: Whatever Alec Baldwin said in his pep talk in Pearl Harbour (What, you expect me to go back to watch? Don't hold your breath. Or, rather, do. I'll wait) was funny.as.hell.

OMG, I love John Woo and absolutely worship Chow Yun Fat. BUT I watched The Killer last night and laughed most inappropriately at the end where Ah Jong and The Girl Who Mostly Squealed Her Way Through The Movie were crawling towards each other. Actually, I laughed at a lot during the movie but loved it nonetheless cuz...well, it's John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, people!

Edited cuz I totally forgot how Li and Ah Jong's nicknames for each other didn't really translate. So when Li howls "Shrimp Head," sighs and then whispers, "Shrimp Head," well, let's say it wasn't quite the touching moment they were going for.

"The Transporter" with Jason Statham
owns. this. thread.

[shriekingeel]

The Day After Tomorrow had me laughing throughout (only the first half, though; the second half is the dullest movie ever made). It was so solemn and self-satisfied that it made The Passion of the Christ look breezy and casual.

[palefire]

MrsCatHead, the end of The Killer had me in tears, I laughed so hard.
Shrimp Head!
Shrimp Head...
There's no way to take that seriously, and I too love me some Chow Yun Fat and John Woo.

Vanilla Sky was made for this thread. The whole movie is comedy gold. Cruise falling down all angstily in the street, Cruz looking like the saddest chihuahua to ever hold a martini, Diaz crashing the car. And oh, the nightclub scene. Cruise, shakin' it to Underworld in a mask. The whole thing just fills me with evil glee. And makes me very angry with Noah Taylor.

I am floored. My experience with The Notebook was identical to Moldy Tufu's. It opened the Seattle FF, and there were so many times when I rolled my eyes and snickered (period inaccuracies, telegraphing plot, unlikely dialogue and more).

By the end, both my husband and I had sore eyeballs and ribs from all the rolling and nudging. When we let out a huge guffaw at the end, the two guys next to us leaned over and glared at us. I think I might even have heard a sigh and/or tsk. I couldn't wait to hear the reviews for this bomb, and STILL don't know what the hell Ebert et al were watching when they thumbed it up.

Ah. That feels good.
