Movies you get sucked into....
 

What are some movies that everytime you're channel-surfing and you come across....you end up having to watch the rest of the film (even though you may have seen it 100 times)??

Here's some for me to start the list:

Fletch
Full Metal Jacket
American History X
Ferris Beuller's Day off
Seven
Wedding Crashers


and of course, Caddyshack....

Others????

Full Metal Jacket
Pulp Fiction
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
The Omen series

Yep...Pulp Fiction....you definitely have to stop and watch the rest of that one.

Caddyshack
Ferris
Animal House

Full Metal Jacket (of course)
Talk Radio (has anyone see this?)
I'm sure there are many others.

Softcore porn on Cinemax.

TommyBoy

Ferris Bueller
Fletch
Usual Suspects

Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
Master and Commander

Little Giants
The Natural
Rudy

Dazed and Confused

Any of the Back to the Futures

Fletch
Animal House
Caddyshack
Gladiator
Anything by Mel Brooks

Shawshank Redemption is the quickest one that comes to mind.

Talk Radio...you're right...something about that movie draws you in and you have to watch.

Another mention was Rudy...another you have to watch till the end.

Rocky, right off the top of my head.

Some more...

Galaxy Quest
Spaceballs
Outlaw Jose Wales
Vacation
Dumb and Dumber

Half Baked
Blues Brothers
Reservoir Dogs
Major League
Friday

Usually any of the Coen Bros movies, especially the comedies, but DEFINITELY Blood Simple.

Actually, the dynamics of 'getting sucked in' while channel srufing have changed with HD. The pecking order on a lazy Saturday is;
Any HD Content
Sports in SD
Episodic Current Events Commentary [ie, Best Week Ever, Replays of The Daily or Colbert I missed] in SD
Maybe a cooking show or This Old House rerun,
then, down at the bottom of the list,
movies in SD.

Blood In Blood Out

The Negotiator

why i watch this everytime it's on tv (which is about 20 hours a day everyday) is beyond me

but i always find myself watching it all the way through

As awesome as that avatar is, I don't think it's going to last.

Any early Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme movie.

Smokey and the Bandit (just the first one, not any of the others)

Three O'Clock High

Shawshank Redemption (as somebody said earlier)

Either of the Mummy movies

Any of the Lethal Weapons series

Better off Dead

pot-head

wow, didn't take long

My comment probably sped up the process, but it was going to happen at some point anyway.

it's just art


CENSORSHIP!


Help!! I'm being repressed!!!

That was the movie I was trying to think of when I read this thread. Every damn time it is on I just stop there. I'm waiting for the wife to take away the damn remote...


...well at least try.

Actually someone reported it and I am the oppressor.


Bwhahahahaha!!!

i swear i don't think that i've ever turned it off if i happen to flip to it.

where are the damn files niebaum?

someone was seriously offended by it?

i just thought it was funny

I reported it, not because I was offended, but because it could cost me my job.

Have to remember, people login here from work and would like to not get fired...

Isnt that a Kevin Spacey flick??? I think it's the Spacey effect....he has a hypnotic tone to his voice....think about it...

Can you turn off Seven, or Negotiator, or Usual Suspects, American Beauty....hell, on HBO lately, they've been playing that movie where he wants to wife-swap with Kevin Kline.....I cant turn away...

Some bosses are just too uptight about gaping a-holes.

Talk Radio is RIVETING. Awesome flick.

Shawshank Redemption
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Napoleon Dynamite
Any Terminator movie

Yeah, but I don't normally have an issue changing on those other shows. They were okay, but I don't normally feel like watching those again, not sure why.

but the girls with their t*ts and a$$es bouncing all around your screen can't?

it's not a big deal, i just thought it was a funny avatar, but there is a lot more offensive stuff in avatars and sigs than that.

i think it's the combination of Spacey and Sam Jackson. i can tell you it was responsible for some poor grades on tests when i was in school. i'd flip around the tv while i was supposed to be studying and would come accross The Negotiator and have to watch the whole thing. What sucks is it's often on back to back on TBS/TNT and i would watch it twice.

i would think you'd more likely be fired for fucking off on the job by looking at a message board while you are supposedly working.

i see the point though about it. i just found the whole bob ross and painting a gaping a-hole to be quite funny. won't happen again.

If you don't get it, then I won't bother explaining it to you.

The bottom line is, your avatar violated the rules.

I would just about quote everyone.

Office Space.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High if Phoebe Cates hasn't shown her tits yet.

Ferris Beuller's Day Off

Dumb & Dumber

Ever After

A lot of them were mentioned... so I wont repeat

Layer Cake, Snatch, The Pianist, Manchurian Candidate, Dodgeball...

A few that get me

The Hollywood Knights
Scarface
King Arthur
The Breakfast Club
Die Hard

Major League

jesus, you must never turn the TV off.

that stuff is on ALL THE TIME.

I'll bet money that one of those 3 is on some channel right now.

Top Gun
The Shining

those come to mind

big fan of the beach volleyball scene, are ya?

The Big Lebowski Dude!!!

Odd that your first thought of Top Gun is the volleyball scene, isn't it...

Total Recall, as long as it is before the point where the governator goes, "SCREW YOU BENNIE!".

touche


(douche)

Has NO ONE mentioned Anchorman, yet?

PCU i have to watch it.

That is an hour and half I will never get back.
