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?

Gremlins.

It's really about streaks for me. I go thru a phase. Some I've burned out of completely.

Adaptation
Black Swan
Cape Fear
The Deer Hunter
Glengarry Glen Ross
The Road Warrior
Training Day
Taxi Driver
True Romance

And 2 that others have mentioned

Donnie Darko
All That Jazz

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I was thinking of adding Glengarry Glen Ross, which I absolutely adore, along with L.A. Confidential, both of which I used to watch quite regularly, but at the moment I'm going through a Kevin Spacey withdrawal.

Cheesy I know, but:
Starship Troopers
Independence Day

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

Both are super entertaining
Nothing wrong with that

Chewing gum for the brain.

I love Starship Troopers. It's so fun to watch.

Rocky-Rocky IV
First Blood
Flash Gordon
Back to the Future
Superman 1-3
Tropic Thunder
Police Academy 1-5

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

Some real goodies there
Rocky IV, the most montage-tastic of all the Rocky films, is an 80s classic
I'm not able to tune out when I come across it

DRAGO!!!!

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Great tunes in Rocky IV, Still gets the adrenaline going after all these years. 👍

Ha!
I still use this quote all the time...

Wife: There's something wrong with the dishwasher

Hilarious Husband: If it dies, it dies

Agreed about Tropic Thunder.

That gets shown quite regularly on British TV, and every time it's on I feel an urge to watch it until the end, and miraculously it still feels fresh.

Anything with Audrey Hepburn. Even awful movies like Green Mansions.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

You have a fascinating range in terms of genres
From Gialli to 60s love dramas
You are a tough guy to pin down Moose!

when I knock a few too many back 'Roman Holiday' has been known to tear me up.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

I've never seen that one but nothing wrong with getting emotional Moose, I get it👍

[–] slimone (7996) 6 years ago

I don't watch depressing, violent, or SciFi movies. Comedies are great, or something to do with music.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

"The Wizard of Oz" draws me in every time I see it on.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

That's one for sure!

[–] actionkamen (23176) 6 years ago

Any old Jackie Chan movie.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

The Chan Man is good!

[–] actionkamen (23176) 6 years ago

Old man Chan though... not so good.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 6 years ago

Eh, gotta love the guy
A funny little old man that could certainly still kick my ass
