Saw this at the theater and was laughing out loud throughout the film.
Hopefully you weren't sitting in front of PeeWee.

P.C.U. is hilarious. It was ahead of times, with all the PC crap nowadays. I love seeing a large, dread-locked Jon Favreau and George Clinton.

As I type this I realize that the plot line is predictable, but I kinda like movies like this. There you go

Mary Poppins. Oh wait I am not embarrassed to admit it. Fantastic movie that I have watched with my daughter over the years from when she was maybe 4 years old. We can't wait to see Mary Poppins returns.

The Postman. It gets pretty weak at the end but I like the origins of the reluctant leader that he has in some of the movie
Crap comments can ensue now

Yeah, same here. I wanted to hate it just on principle, but I was talked into watching it and laughed my ass off pretty much the whole time. Ledger was really good in that role, and Paul Bettany and Alan Tudyk helped knock it out of the park.
Golden Years used to get randomly played at work and my cubicle mate and I used to jokingly dance and clap here and there. I don't think anyone else in the shop had seen the movie, so we got funny looks.

Someone mentioned this bomb from 1980, "Xanadu" already. I remember going to the mall, walked into the box office, got my ticket and popcorn/Coke (only about $3 then), sat down, show started...when the lights came back up, I'd had the whole theater to myself.

Pearl Harbor...
Hahaha, no freakin' way. I'm just kidding. No one could possibly like this movie.

Lucky Them, 2013, starring Toni Collette. This film is so far down on the food chain it went straight to video-on-demand. It is about a 40-something rock journalist who is assigned by a failing music magazine to find her ex-boyfriend rock star, from the Grunge Era in Seattle, who faked his death.
The film was made in Seattle but avoids the cliches of establishing shots of the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the ferry in harbor against the Seattle skyline. Instead, it was shot on the side streets and in the bars where Grunge began in the late '80s before it was co-opted by Big Entertainment.
Collette is good as a weak person with a strong will to cling to the past. She is trying to hang on the '90s glory long past its expiration date. She is not a likable person, but her loyalty, to her time and her lost partner, is not without merit.
It is worth a look if you are home sick from work, as I was, and want to watch a depressing character study.

Most movies, I wouldn't be embarrassed about liking.
"Best of the Best" is what immediately came to mind. I love this really stupid, cheesy movie.
"The Cutting Edge" is another one I liked that could cause some embarrassment.
I'm not embarrassed to admit I liked "The Blood of Heroes"

Wow! Major blast from the past. I loved this movie when I was in college, but had completely forgotten about it. Now I have to go see if it's available on DVD.

The Fred and Ginger movies. I hate musicals but love their early movies. With Edward Everet Horton and Eric Blore. Victor Moore. But I’m a big Ginger fan. She was hot. Liked her in Tight Spot, and Batchelor Mother. Never liked Gene Kelley, just Fred and Ginger.

That is a good movie - what is to be embarrassed about?

An Aussie, she's known for her performance in M. Knight's The Sixth Sense. I also liked her in Muriel's Wedding (1994):
