The ones you’ve seen too many times already, but even though you should have been in bed an hour ago you just _have_ to see it all the way to the end. Mine are Ladyhawke Princess Bride Hot Potato Gumball Rally Shock Treatment ---

Groundhog Day is a good one, I’ll copy that. Space Balls is another one for me (it’s the only movie I’ve owned on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray). Mars Attacks! always sucks me in. ---

_Aliens_ I probably know every line, but I still get sucked in. The only other one I can think of is _Nashville_, but I haven’t seen that on telly for ages. And I can’t get it on DVD dammit. ---

> [@RobDog](#): > > Galaxy Quest > Die Hard I’ll add: Shaun of the Dead Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Oddly though, the list I’m compiling in my head is quite different from my _favourite_ movies. I could watch any of the above over and over, but I couldn’t, for example, watch Fargo again. ---

_ **Shawshank Redemption** _ gets me every time. Heck, there was a point where I had probably watched 90% of that movie 5 or 6 times but had never actually seen the beginning of it. _ **Jaws** _ gets me as well ---
