My Top 50 Snob-Free Films

There are films which won't make my top 50 list due to a number of reasons (mainly critical snobbery) but I find very entertaining, and love them. These are not really guilty pleasures. More like films I watch for a good night out/in - i.e. 'Euro Trip' or date film, like '50 First Dates'. Or even films that had a really good premise and presented it well, like 'W,' which shows George W. Bush Jr's life before and in the early years of his presidency. Some of them are pretty bad, like 'Snakes On A Plane,' but hey, who doesn't like hundreds of passengers stuck in a plane filled with lots of snakes.

A few are Apatow productions, like 'Pineapple Express' and 'Superbad.' So far I've loved every single one of their films, with the always hilarious Seth Rogen. Some are guilt-free yet satisfying action films, like 'The Kingdom' and 'Wanted.'
