Have you ever found yourself channel surfing, looking for something to watch, and you stumble upon a film you've seen before, and its somewhere in the middle or even near the end. Yet, you can't stop watching it? You stick with it 'til the end?
Shawshank Redemption
Dr. Zhivago
Evil Dead II
Braveheart
The Matrix
Goodfellas
Point Break
Groundhog Day
The Princess Bride
Bull Durham

Office Space
Green Mile

Lord of the Rings (love all 3 but especially Return of the King)
Any film rendition of a Jane Austen novel. (Tho I might just pop in the DVD and start from the beginning.)

Dazed & Confused
Alien
Aliens
Predator
Halloween (John Carpenter)
The Thing (John Carpenter)

Anyone remember that old BMX movie "Rad"? I haven't seen it in ages, but I used to watch that all the damn time.
.
Another oldie... "Side Out" the volleyball movie.
Might as well throw in Bloodsport while I'm going old school
I agree with LeanneP on the Jane Austen movies.
Miss Congeniality
The Proposal
Beaches
French Kiss
Breaking 2: Electric Bugaloo
(actually any break dancing or dance contest movie-it's a very specific formula)
This list is beginning to turn into my guilty pleasures list.
Double post- oops!

If by craptastic you mean awesome, then I agree.
One of my favorite lines ever is "a polar bear fell on me".
The Big Lebowski
Agree with so many of them so far, esp Dumb and Dumber, every time.
Others:
Back to the Future
Teen Wolf
Forrest Gump
Legends of the Fall (not on TV all that often, but still)
I really like to watch the digitally-safe version of Showgirls when it comes on televison. Although I haven't seen it in quite a few years. The bowdlerization of that film makes it even funnier. Strippers with no nipples are just so weirdly funny.
On Golden Pond
I cry evertime , like a little school girl.
Great picks so far. I'd add:
Caddyshack
In the Line of Fire
The Fugitive
Super Troopers
Anything by Nic Cage from the last ten years
Sabrina - the original version
Roman Holiday
The Godfather I and II - never III
Last Tango in Paris - The kids and I love this one
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Unforgiven
But Never Ever - Independence Day
