If it's on, you'll watch it...
 
So, what's that one movie that you'll always watch (or at least sit through part of it) if you come across it on TV?

For me, it's Goodfellas. Obviously the TMNT films count too, but aside from that...

Toy Stories.

Anything I saw before and kinda liked or that is the further adventures of a character I care about. Example: Smallville.

Redeemer 04-13-2011 10:00 PM

oldmanwinters 04-14-2011 12:18 AM

Any of the Rocky movies (even part 5 though thankfully it's rarely ever shown on TV).

Also, The Princess Bride.

Slap-Happy 04-14-2011 12:31 AM

I did this recently, but am ashamed to say...

It was Jersey Girl.

Also, Back To The Future, but besides that, I don't know.

Luzmagica 04-14-2011 04:35 AM

Any movie I´ll ever like can grab me again in front of TV.... :P

Jester 04-14-2011 04:36 AM

NCIS, Law and Order: SVU...mostly TV shows I like.
If it's a movie I own...I'll probably just get my copy.

adz 04-14-2011 04:49 AM

National Lampoons Vacation and European vacation, even though I have them on dvd it's kind of a treat for them to be on TV.

Vivi 04-14-2011 06:26 AM

Probably Ghostworld, but also anything that's part of a sequel/trilogy as usually I sit there trying to figure out which one it is eg, Aliens, LOTR, etc.

AT-Man 04-14-2011 07:03 AM

12 Monkeys
every old (B&W) sci-fi and horror film
Big Trouble in Little China
The 'Burbs

BubblyShell22 04-14-2011 07:48 AM

Any movie that I really like and still have on DVD. Same goes for TMNT episodes I own on DVD. If they're on TV, I'll watch them anyway.

And I agree about Twilight, even though I haven't seen it on TV yet as I don't get movie channels.

Happy Gilmore
You've Got Mail

....pretty wide variety of genres, huh?

discordiatookie 04-14-2011 03:04 PM

Hmm, Kill Bill, both vols. For example, i've got it on DVD but the first movie was on a coupla months ago on the telly. I was flicking through the channels, just in time for the massive fight scene against the 88. Good times. Next night, yet again channel hopping, I get it just in time for the very same fight. Watched again! And then, the week later, I managed to catch the whole movie, staying up pretty late in the process (even though I can watch it any time!)

Another time was when I was in Portugal last year. Was in a bar which was showing Vol 2 on the telly. We were in another room, playing pool and getting drunk. I went through for a round and ended up watching the whole Pai Mei flashback scene with some old American geezer, who turned out to be a local...

Still confused to no end as to how that's considered a comedy. :-?

How many times have you watched it? I know it took me 2 viewings to start to find it funny.

MADVENTURES!!!
It's a Finnish travelling show and must be the best show ever made for tv. They only did the third season in English for international audience, so I recommend you to watch it and if you get the previous seasons with subtitles.
