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?
