Movies you catch on TV and won't leave the room or turn the channel

Let's hear them, members and moderators.

-Goodfellas
-Jaws
-Braveheart
-Catch Me If You Can
-Silence of the Lambs

 

Most of the Clint Eastwood "spaghetti westerns" -- "Hang 'Em High," "High Plains Drifter," "Pale Rider," "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

"The Karate Kid" -- original.

"Roadhouse" -- always.

Most of the "Rocky" movies.

"A League of Their Own" -- my favorite sports movie of all time.

"Major League" -- at least the first time it's been on in a while.

"Friday" and often, "Next Friday," even if it wasn't as good as the original.

"Baby Boy" and "Boyz N the Hood," -- probably my two favorite inner-city flicks.

 

Why do people watch movies on TV with endless commercials and bleeping out the fucking "fuck".?

I prefer to watch movies on my Beta VCR

Oh, maybe The Godfather 1 when I have nothing to do for four hours.

 

Shit, I fear this could be a rather lengthy post ...

As mentioned above ...
Catch Me If You Can
A League of Their Own

Then, add ...
Sideways
The Professional (sometimes referred to as Leon: The Professional)
Boogie Nights
The Verdict
Fools Rush In
The Fugitive
Stand By Me
Back to the Future (only the first one, though)
The Notebook
Dear John
Caddyshack
Animal House
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Apollo 13
That Thing You Do!
Crazy, Stupid, Love
Forrest Gump
Castaway
Stranger Than Fiction
Rock Star
Four Friends

And I'm sure there are numerous others I can't think of right now. Finding "Four Friends" on any of the movie channels now is next to impossible, but I did find it on YouTube. I'm guessing many of you have neither seen nor heard of it. It came out in 1982. But now that this thread has me thinking of it, I have to watch it on YouTube.

EDIT: Also add two early Robin Williams movies
The World According to Garp
Moscow on the Hudson

 

Mentioned above:
Catch Me if You Can
A League of Their Own

Add the bold ones to my list. (fixed)

 

I didn't think Catch Me If You Can got a lot of love from critics when it came out, but it's one of my favorite movies.

And with everyone else, Goodfellas, Spaceballs, Silence of the Lambs.

I'll add Hot Shots, any 007 and Pretty Woman (for the missus).
