What’s wrong with you people? Not one mention for the absolute, must stop on it if found channel surfing movie of all time? _Don’t you blaspheme in here!_ **The Blues Brothers** How can you pass by that one? Others I love that were mentioned earlier: Pulp Fiction The first two Godfather movies (we’ll pretend that the third one never existed) The Fisher King (can’t remember the last time I stumbled across this) And another that springs to mind that I didn’t see mentioned: Scarface ---

I’m not real proud of myself, but I can’t help it. Every time I click around to see what’s on, if **Deep Rising** shows up, I’ll watch it. The first time around, I was surprised to see Hanover buy the farm. This movie made hash out of so many action movie cliches, I actually thought he was gonna make it out of the ship and wash up on the island. Maybe I’ll grow out of this . . . ---

For me: Shawshank Redemption Patton Conan the Barbarian Highlander The Princess Bride Tombstone Heathers Pale Rider The Road Warrior Dogma > [@tdn](#): > > There are some movies that I can only watch once. There are some > that I can watch several times. There are even some that I can watch many, many times. But there are some movies that I could watch a million times and never tire of. I won’t buy them on DVD, because that would somehow ruin them for me. But if I’m lucky enough to catch one on TV, I will move heaven and earth to see it. Here is my list: > > Fargo > Quick Change > West Side Story > Top Secret! > Office Space > Best in Show > It Could Happen to You > Rounders > Good Will Hunting > > What’s on your list? ---
