Movies you get sucked into....

[DJJasonp]

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????

[jidar]

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

[DJJasonp]

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.

[Dartgod]

Rocky, right off the top of my head.

Some more...

Galaxy Quest

[sedated]

Half Baked

Reservoir Dogs

[Baby Lee]

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.

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.

[morphius]

Actually someone reported it and I am the oppressor.

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?

[RockChalk]

Bwhahahahaha!!!

someone was seriously offended by it?

i just thought it was funny

[Dartgod]

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.

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...

[jspchief]

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

[ZepSinger]

Full Metal Jacket (of course)
Talk Radio (has anyone see this?)

Talk Radio is RIVETING. Awesome flick.

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

[morphius]

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.

[RockChalk]

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

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.

[RockChalk]

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

i would think you'd more likely be fired for f*cking 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.

[Dartgod]

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

The bottom line is, your avatar violated the rules.

[greg63]

I would just about quote everyone.
