Any movie that has lines such as "if it ain't Wham it ain't ham!" or
"If you can't sleep tonight, it isn't the coffee it's the bunk.

This happened to me just last night.
My wife and I had just finished watching Jonathan Demme's Something
Wild (it holds up really well, btw, 22 years after its release), I
flipped a couple of channels and found Casablanca playing on PBS.
Talk about a change of pace!
It was about 15 minutes into the movie. We thought, oh, we'll just
watch a few minutes of this and ended up sticking with it, through
great scenes and immortal catchphrases, right through to "Louis, I
think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
This always happens to me, too, with Cool Hand Luke, Rebel Without a
Cause, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Sunset Blvd, The Sweet Smell
of Success and a number of others. I can, and do, watch them over
and over again.

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?
