Movies you cannot channel surf past...

LOL, missed your post, but yes – those dinner scenes are hilarious. :smiley: They’re both trying so hard!! And the poor police sergeant… “It’s called… a Margarita!”

My absolute favorite scene, though, is Rusk wrestling with the recalcitrant corpse in the potato truck as he tries to recover the stick pin. Really brings home the meaning of the phrase about dead weight being like a “sack of potatoes.” As if she’s getting even somehow.

And such a young Jean Marsh!

Honestly, it’s one of a very few I just can’t surf past if I see it’s on. :slight_smile:

Recalcitrant,indeed. :smiley:

The Last Samurai is another favorite of mine. It is on right now, and I stopped surfing.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was on This TV yesterday. I came in on the part where Butch and Etta were riding the bicycle. I watched it for a while. And I sang along to Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head. :smiley:

Am I the only one who can’t pass up watching* Cool Hand Luke*?

I have no idea why
