Name films you ALWAYS stop and watch when channel surfing...

i have a few:

godfather all 3
caddyshack
sicario
animal house'
any tarantino
woodstock
coming home
lost in traslation

 

No matter how many times I’ve seen them, I can always watch The Sting and The Great Escape again. Both have good stories and excellent casting.

 

Back To The Future trilogy for me too.
Even though I have dvd boxed set!

 

Never seen it on TV and finally decided to check it out. It's not a movie I will ever watch again. It may have been ahead of it's time in 1941, but it wasn't a riveting movie, at all.

 

Hell or High Water
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Snatch

 

this one...

 

RoboCop (1987), which is my favorite movie ever -- once I even stopped and watched some of it on a Spanish language channel, even though I don't speak a word of Spanish.

Also: Airplane! (1980) - which I have probably seen about a hundred times, yet I still laugh at every silly gag, every time.

 

That's what's so great about it - it's not a "movie"...it's a series of gags (that work), stitched into some semblance of a movie.
You snort at the first one, chortle at the next, and then the momentum catches you off-guard.

 

Roadhouse
Tombstone
Goodfellas

 

Yes! Roadhouse!

 

Dances with Wolves

 

Oh yeah, Road House is definitely another good'un.

 

-Goodfellas
-Mean Streets
-Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
-Die Hard (the first one)
-Rio Bravo
-The Searchers
-Idiotcracy
-Harvey
-Rear Window
-A Hard Day's Night
-Big Trouble
-To Have And To Have Not
-Taxi Driver
-Blue Velvet
-Dr. Strangelove

Most of the other ones that
this would happen with
(Barfly; Rock & Roll High
School; C.H.U.D etc.) almost
never get shown on TV now.

 

That's my answer. I have the Blu-ray but that movie still stops me in my tracks every time.

 

There are a few that I’ll usually stop to watch a bit of:

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Trouble With Angels
Desperado
Waterworld

 

The Devil At Four O'Clock...The Three Stooges Meet Hercules.

 

scarface the godfather and dazed and confused

 

Yes, and for myself I would amend that to just about any De Niro or Pacino movie from the 70's. Francis Ford Coppola as well, now that I think about it...

 

Bullitt
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World
Any Godfather movie
Animal House
Dirty Harry
Pulp Fiction
Spinal Tap

 

Anything Hitchcock or Kubrick.

 

Bad News Beras
Repo Man
GlenGarry Glenn Ross

 

I did a similar thread a few months back, some good suggestions there too.

The Most Rewatchable Movies

 

I’m not a big movie guy in general but I like to watch It’s a Wonderful Life when I know other people around the world are watching at the same time.

 

Terminator 2: Judgement Day. I have the dialogue memorized but I watch it anyway.
