Movies You Can't Not Watch

[Bryan James]

I have a set of flicks I will always tune to when they're on. I've seen them all many times, so I don't necessarily watch them, but I'll have them going in the background as I'm doing kitchen stuff, etc..

The only thing that exorcises my compulsion is taping them (I don't have any newfangled tech toys).

A small, current sample:

October Sky
Paper Man
The Ramen Girl
Notting Hill

Any of you have the same draw to a (non-porn) movie?

Shawshank
Drillbit Taylor (don't laugh)
Shaun of the Dead
Anything American Pie
Lovely Bones

loads of others I can't think of. Apologies for the fact there's nothing "hi-brow" tucked in there. I cooked Sunday lunch with Drillbit in the background today!

The Fugitive
Twister
Tootsie
As Good as it Gets
Goldfinger

Haven't seen "The Lovely Bones" yet, but I liked Saoirse Ronan in her vampire movie.

Maybe I just think her name is cool. Jury is still out.

Watch it.... just watch it. Painfully, sadly, brilliant.

The Lovely Bones is incredible. Directed by Peter Jackson (LOTR). Great acting, especially Stanley Tucci, who plays the villain.

He tried to watch it with me a few years back...I think it's one of those movies he'll probably never feel comfortable watching. Bryan James if you can give it another go you should try to watch it, if only for Tucci's performance. That dude totally creeps me out in it, amazing actor.

 

[Agincourt Concierge]

The Sting
Rio Bravo
Rear Window
Psycho
No Country for Old Men

oh Blunt .... Rio Bravo and El Dorado two classics .... love Rear Window and Psycho too .... would re-watch the Birds over and over too

Lifetime movies. Love me some .

Meredith Baxter........She is a mean one, I say.

And of course anything that Fushing posts with his most wonderous daughters!

 

[not_nadine]

[GNTLGNT]

...anything that has a combined budget for effects & make-up of about 25 cents...so bad, they're awfully good...

 

[blunthead]

To Kill A Mockingird
Terminator
Shawshank/Green Mile/Carrie
Singing in the Rain
Predator
West Side Story (I would not make Teddy sit through this one though ...)

Almost listed West Side Story, though my interest in it is almost entirely the music, which is my favorite of all movies I've seen so far. Oh, forgot another one...
