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

    Flipping the channels in college I came upon Manhunter on TBS right after it started. It was probably Mann's direction that made me stop, but then I saw it was Peterson and Farina and watched it all the way through (even the commercials) I don't know if I've watched a movie on TV with commercials since that wasn't taped or on the DVR.

    The Friends of Eddie Coyle (it includes a hockey scene, with a reference to Bobby Orr, so I always claim it's a sports movie)
    Duel
    The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (original version only)
    The Sting
    Eight Men Out
    Bull Durham
    Twelve Angry Men

    Viacom networks have been pulling some nasty crap. Not just movies, but regular, hour-long TV shows.

    A listing for Bonanza on TV Land would have it running from 3 p.m. until 4:15. That's ridiculous.

    Great call on Rounders.
    What a smart movie that is.

    -- You know what always cheers me up?
    -- No, what's that?
    -- Rolled-up aces over kings. Check-raising stupid tourists and taking huge pots off of them. Playing all-night high-limit Hold 'Em at the Taj, "where the sand turns to gold." Stacks and towers of checks I can't even see over.
    -- Fuck it, let's go.
    -- Don't tease me.
    -- Let's play some fucking cards.
    -- Yes!

    Shawshank Redemption. Big Lebowski. Animal House. Sandlot. That's what I've got off top of my head.
