By far and away - The Producers (the original version) hands down.

I can almost quote that movie beginning to end.
Casablanca is another, The Sting and of all things, The Posiedon Adventure...
My flipping is done when I run across them...

Subject: [MOPO] What are movies where EVERY time you see one flipping
channels, you end up watching some or all?
I was e-mailing with Freeman Fisher and he mentioned he had seen Hud at least
a dozen times (and I know I have as well, because it is simply a wonderful
movie). I have found that there are a select group of movies where EVERY time I
see one of them while flipping channels, I say "I'll just watch a few minutes
of this" (even if it is in the middle or near the end) but then I realize a
great scene is coming up soon, and I think, "well, I have to watch that" and
then there is another great scene coming up and then quite often I end up
watching it all (and marveling just how great a movie I think it is)! A good
example of this for me is "The Princess Bride" or "Cool Hand Luke", but there
are lots of others.
I was wondering, is this just true of me, or do many of you also have movies
that you find "irresistible" to not start watching when you see they are
playing on TV (even though you have seen them one or many times before)? And if
so, what movies are they?
