Movies You Can't Turn Off

Subject: Movies You Can't Turn Off Sat Jul 19, 2008 3:26 am

Heard this topic being discussed on the radio today, and they got some interesting responses.

Are there any movies, that if you run across them accidentally or while channel surfing, you can't turn off until the end, no matter how many times you've seen them?

I could think of five. Two comedies and three dramas.

Animal House
The Blues Brothers
The Shining
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Perfect Storm

I would add to that list:

Liar's Moon
What Women Want
Any one of the Lethal Weapon Movies
Braveheart
Motel Hell

*I'm a little partial to Mel Gibson*

Nah, Mel was just in the three movies in the middle of my list. Farmer Vincent was nothing to even to look at, well, maybe with that pig head on and that chain saw blasting away. lol

I gotta admit of all those I've named and many more, there are just a very few that I "couldn't" quit watching. But all those are ones I've seen many times and would be quite likely to sit and watch again unless something else was coming on really special.
