Antacular Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Pretty sure half of the movies you guys listed have never even been on TV. - Goodfellas - Platoon - Face/Off - Full Metal Jacket - Ghostbusters - The Big Lebowski Yeah that's six, whaddup. I would've included the last 2 Batman's but they're fairly new, so I figured I'd take it back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok....just 5? Big Trouble in Little China: Jack Burton has the strength of ten men. The Godfather 1 or 2: Maybe my favorite movies ever. The Departed: Worth the price of admission for the off the charts cast alone Jason and the Argonauts: TALOS, BITCHES! Bullit: Gritty, mean, and car chase-o-riffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'll pick five off the top of my head that I always seem to end up stopping to watch. I would not say that these films are not necessarily anywhere near my favorites of all times but are just films I get sucked into on Cable TV. A Few Good Men (I tend to always catch it towards the ending courtroom scene). Pulp Fiction (My favorite film, so this might be the exception to this list). For Love of the Game (I stumble upon this on t.v. once every 2-3 years and watch the whole thing). Face/Off (A film I just take for what it is). The Departed (I just love Leo's performance in this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Nice to see the respect for Face/Off across the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I really don't think I can think of five off the top of my head, but all I wanna say is I'm the 21st post and the first to mention "Blazing Saddles"? C'mon. Only if its on a premium type channel. If its on AMC or something its borderline unwatchable, with half the words being bleeped. . .

Kuetsar Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Tropic Thunder is the one that first popped into my head. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Smarkie Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Today AMC is showing 4 movies right in a row that always make me stop and watch, no matter how goofy the edits are. Face/OFF Speed Die Hard and Die Hard 2 It's like they read this thread... Other movies that always get me to stop and watch: From Dusk Till Dawn The Last Action Hero Bulletproof American Outlaws The Replacements (TBS used to show the hell out of this movie back in the day. It was always my mom's favorite movie, so I watched it quite often growing up in her house.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I posed this question on my Facebook page and the five movies that most of my friends picked were: Major League Princess Bride Shawshank Redemption Tombstone Armageddon(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not sure I have five but runaway #1 would be Miracle - the only movie I've ever seriously considered buying a ticket to see again as I was leaving from seeing it the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Speed and Tombstone are really good calls, those are two movies you can catch at any point and you will be all in. I've probably seen Tombstone from the beginning 2-3 times, but I've seen the last half about 30-40 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Maverick. I'd always watch Maverick.Me too. Its a fun movie that I always forget about unless I see that its on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably seen Tombstone from the beginning 2-3 times, but I've seen the last half about 30-40 times. I've seen the last half so many times, if I watch it from the start sometimes I feel like there are scenes I've never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Top Gun is probably number one on the list. I don't particularly like it, but there are enough memorable scenes that if I flip to it I find myself waiting for specific moments. Who am I kidding saying I don't like it? Top Gun rules. Coming to America is another that I always will put on. Major League, as has been referenced multiple times. Blood Sport, although that's a harder sell to the significant other. I remember there was a time where Pootie Tang was on rotation on one of the premium channels and I watched it roughly seventeen hundred times. If that doesn't count because it hasn't been on TV for about a decade, probably War Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
