What movie can you never turn off when it is on TV?

Forever Voyageur

Casablanca

To Kill A Mockingbird

The Secret Garden (original)

Band of Brothers

Secondhand Lions

If Band of Brothers happens to be on, I basically lose the entire day. Can’t stop watching, even though I’ve seen it all about a billion times, and I have the DVD set too.

You Can’t Take it With You, The Road Warrior, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Now that I see it written down, that’s a really strange combination, isn’t it?

Independence Day
Legally Blonde
Back to the Future

Roadhouse :o

Goodfellas

High Plains Drifter

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

Goodfellas

Predator

The first two Terminator flicks

And I’m embarrassed to say, but Demolition Man

Terminator 2
Back to the Future
Bringing up Baby
Army of Darkness
Blazing Saddles

That and Overboard

Yes, but ads?! I have a lot of movies I love and that are comfort movies but I can never watch any of them on TV because of ads. Unless you are talking about HBO or something.

Fight Club
Gladiator
Full Metal Jacket
Aliens

Shawshank Redemption and

Sorry for this…

Twister

Marx Brothers: Monkey Business, Horsefeathers, and Duck Soup
Bogart: Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Michael Caine: Sleuth, The Man Who Would Be King

If I were the sort to have premium cable channels where they didn’t edit the dirty words, I’d add a number of movies to this list. But I’m not, so I won’t.

Groundhog Day

The Princess Bride

Just two days ago I was flipping through the channels, it was on and I ended up watching the last two thirds. It’s become a game of guess-which-line-they-left-out.

Tombstone
Ronin
Casino Royale

That was the first movie I was going to mention, but then I remembered that it was on last weekend, and I turned it off. I think I’m done with that movie.

Another for Moonstruck
The Godfather 1 or 2
Fried Green Tomatos
Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood.

  1. Any Coen Brothers movie, except The Ladykillers

  2. The Ladykillers, the original one

Another vote for Twister, now mostly for the music.
