Strong posts in this thread. I share lots of these picks for ad nauseum viewing, especially Back to the Future, Die Hard, Star Wars, Shawshank, and The Thing. A few others no one has mentioned that I would always watch if I came across while flipping:
The Great Escape
The Longest Day
The Professional
Dazed and Confused
Clue
Murder on the Orient Express (the original)
Home Alone
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Duck Soup
War Games
Little Man Tate and it's not-sequel sequel Searching for Bobby Fischer
Tommy Boy
I also tend to stop on anything involving Orson Welles, but I'm a nerd like that.
on TCM? Couldn't help myself, had to watch The Pride of the Yankees, then Sergeant York.Quote:

You've got some winners in here for sure...Quote:

Regarding Orson Welles, I can only say...

Before Kurt Vonnegut, Pink Floyd, and indie rock stepped in, John Hughes split a four-way sublease on my brain alongside Matt Groening, the Nintendo Corporation, and whatever weirdo programmed all my mom's favorite old 40s and 50s movies to come on TCM and the original version of AMC. (Oh, and the Slush Puppie dog. How that dude didn't give my diabetes by age 12, I have no idea.) So yeah, that's just how it crumbled this afternoon, cookie-wise. (I also like Billy Wilder.)Quote:

And The Third Man? Come on, dude. Whether he had squat to do with directing the thing, it doesn't get much better than that. I could watch and listen to that movie every month or two for the rest of my life and never tire of it.
Thought of a few more a minute ago:
Unforgiven
The Princess Bride
The Point (movie for the awesome Nilsson album of the same name)
The Freshman
I'm going back a ways with these -- my channel-flipping and repeat-movie-watching time is pretty limited these days -- but they were regulars that I never tired of.
Sgt York kills all. I'm getting ready to watch again and remind myself of God and country and Jesus and get off on truth love and Godly things
flipping through and saw the shawshank redemption on. Always will stop to watch that.
Can't believe we are 50 posts in and no one has mentioned Point Break or Roadhouse!
So much classic in those two, I always have to stop and watch.
OK those 2 and every Die Hard, Clint Eastwood, including "Where Eagles Dare" and "Kellys Heroes" movies are automatically included.Quote:

Dude, the gag reel for that scene made me and my friends totally lose it back in the day. For some reason the link to the exact spot in the video isn't working; go to the 7:40 mark. Funny as hell:

It's stars Gary Cooper and is about Lou Gehrig. It was made in 1942 shortly after his death. I'm always up for a good baseball movie but what's kinda neat about this one is that it had some of the men that were on the team with him, like Babe Ruth. It is sappy like a lot of the older movies but still a classic.Quote:
