Movies On TV That Suck You In

[ycartrob]

OK, it's like 1 in the morning, you're chillin' on the couch channel surfing, you got to be up at 7 AM (for whatever reason, something important). You're about to call it a night then BLAM! You see that movie just starting; that movie that you have no choice but to sit and watch in it's entirety, no matter what the consequences.

 For me? (glad you asked)

Ghostbusters
Coal Miner's Daughter
Hoosiers
Blues Brothers
Stripes
Close Encounters
Little Big Man
Taxi Driver
Reality Bites
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Breakfast Club
Being There
Showgirls
Serpico
War Games

What are some of those movies for you? (and remember, it's the one's that always seem to be on at that time of night).

Haha, good thread Tracy. Showgirls?!!

Goodfellas is the first one that springs to mind. I love this movie & always have to finish watching it regardless of where I pick the movie up.

Do you know, I've never seen Fast Times at at Ridgemont High! Shame on me, I know  :-[

Toy Story  ;D

Showgirls is one of the funniest movies ever (without trying to be). Especially on network TV when they have the fake bikinis drawn in. Hilarious!

i love how those bikinis never seem to move in time with the girls so the ends look jagged... why do they even bother? what's wrong with boobies, anyway?

i will always stay and watch chick flicks, even if i own the dvd. and...

dirty dancing

harry potter

i just love movies... i'll admit to watching almost anything. especially if i've already seen it a bazillion times... am i ok?

[ycartrob]

16 Candles
Dazed & Confused

the wedding singer and sleepless in seattle always pull me in. although i've seen both maybe 7766 times and i know exactly what happens i watch like i have no idea.

Especially on network TV when they have the fake bikinis drawn in. Hilarious!

I had no idea! haha

All this talk about movies & yet I don't think we've ever had a fav movies thread. Gimme a few mins...

No films draw me in. I hate commercials and would rather watch movies on DVD since I have a HDTV.

On the other hand, certain TV shows will always suck me in: Cheers, Seinfeld, King Of The Hill, WKPR, SCTV, MASH, The Daily Show.
