Movies you can't not watch

When switching channels , I'll often happen across a movie I love and simply can't not watch:

Goodfellas
Jaws
Conan the Barbarian
Scarface

What movies do you have to watch when you stumble across them?

[–] sslssg (27403) 5 years ago

Totally agree with Jaws

Predator
The Full Monty
The Sting

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71429) 5 years ago

Predator was really awesome too!!!

The Full Monty was pretty great...funny story, fine cast, lots of laughs

[–] sslssg (27403) 5 years ago

I had to see it twice in the theatre. The first time was a full house and everyone was laughing so much, I missed half the movie.

There's nothing wrong with it and most respondents thus far understand what he meant. Why don't you do some serious proofreading and editing of your own? You're no writer !

Aw, it's just a little double negative. English may not like them, but Chaucer used them all the time and his work is timeless. :)

Good Call
Great Movie

Does this include movies we have already made the mistake of watching? Or just movies we already have an inherent bias against?

[–] sslssg (27403) 5 years ago

I think it's supposed to be movies that we like and are drawn to. They are movies that we have to watch.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71429) 5 years ago

Good list
I need to see Donnie Darko, I've heard interesting things

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

There are so many quotable lines and memorable moments.

I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen in 2002 with a group from college, a year after it was released, and flopped in the US, during which time it had already developed a reputation as a cult classic.

I just found it streaming on something called IMDB Freedive
(I didn't even know I had this service! Makes me wonder what the hell else I'm paying for and not using...)
Thanks for the reco Malko, I'll check it out this long weekend

I feel like this happens with movies I don't particularly adore, but I just find addictive. For example, Terminator 2: Judgment Day or Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I've probably seen these a bunch of times, but I just get sucked in. Sometimes an old Adam Sandler movie, like Happy Gilmore, will do it.
