Curt McGirt Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 You don't have to watch the whole thing (though you might) but you'll tune in just to see some of it. For me, Master and Commander is a big one for whatever reason... probably just because it's great. Robocop, you always have to see where it's at so you can quote it. And for some reason I've taken a shine to always flipping to The Death of Stalin. It always gets a laugh, I can't help it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) The Big Lebowski. Doesn't matter that I've seen it dozens of times, and own it on both physical and digital. I can't not watch at least a few minutes. Edited June 24, 2019 by Brian Fowler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Whenever Full Metal Jacket is on, I always watch the Paris Island part and then skip the rest. Which is sad because the end of the movie is tremendous. As for the movie I tend to watch all the way through whenever it's on, that would their be Fight Club or Skyfall. Skyfall seems to be on nearly every other day on Syfy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) The only problem with Lebowski is it comes on edited too often. But if it's on a premium channel, that whole thing is going in my eyeballs. Re: Full Metal Jacket, it depends on the mood. I'll always stop to watch Hartman's ranting, but will break for post-Parris Island moments as well. Edited June 23, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The Parris Island half of Full Metal Jacket is the greatest first half of a movie ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 MidnightRun and Running Scared are 2 movies that if they are on, they get watched. Doesn't matter if it is the beginning, middle or last 15 minutes, those 2 get watched! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 For me the answer will always be 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Goddamn I love that movie and no matter how much I'm able to check out at a time it's still a great time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think between AMC and CMT Tombstone is on pretty much 365 days a year and I will always watch the rest of it when I catch it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I cut the cord a long time ago so channel surfing is some archaic thing that old people do. But when I did, the answer would have been The Wanderers. You can't jump into a bad spot anywhere in that movie. In fact I should have given it an honorable mention at the very least when we did the All Time poll. No idea what I was thinking.

BurningBeard Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Without a doubt, my answer to this question is Kelly's Heroes. I can't not watch it if I stumble across it, which usually results in my better half saying "But you've got the DVD!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Any of the Rocky movies (even 5). I don't know what it is, but whenever I used to come across a Rocky movie on tv I would just wind up watching it from whatever point it was at until the end or until I had to do something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 A League of their Own,I own it on Blu Ray. But the rare times I am flipping channels and I see it I end up watching the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The answer is always Big Trouble in Little China or The Thing. You really can't go wrong combining Kurt Russell and John Carpenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 There was a while back when I had cable, I could turn on the television and always run into one of two movies: "Van Helsing" and "Deep Blue Sea." God help me, every time I'd tune in to whatever scene, I wouldn't move the channel. Dunno why. Also, but this was when I was younger and, Judas wept, did TBS play this thing into the ground, but "Blues Brothers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well, they definitely did, but how could you ever turn off Blues Brothers? At the very least, you're always starting at a point where "if I wait ten minutes, [Awesome Performance X] will be on, I should at least watch through that" and next thing you know, you're muttering about hating Illinois Nazis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
