Movies You Can't Resist

There are some movies that, when they're on tv, I just can't walk away. Even if I own them on dvd, and could watch it any time unedited with no commercials, I still have to sit and watch them when I stumble across them. I think it's just the "yay, looks what's on, what a nice surprise!" factor.

In no particular order, they are:


  • The Godfather I or II. This is particularly bad, because not only are they both very long, they're even longer with commercials, AND typically if they're playing Part I you can bet Part II is on next.
  • Dirty Dancing. This one was in heavy rotation last summer, so it's actually finally fallen a bit out of my favor.
  • The Breakfast Club. I don't think it could ever possibly fall out of favor.
  • Footloose. Really, this one I just need the last scene, where they dance to Footloose.
  • Urban Cowboy
  • Legally Blonde. This is probably my #1 happy movie. Everything about it makes me smiley, every time.
  • The Shining
  • Say Anything

Apologies for the low content post, but I've been watching the Godfather for like 8 hours now and I am just trying to figure out why. I'm going to dream I'm a mobster all night, I bet.

I have only seen two of those movies, and only one of them multiple times.

My short list would be Shawshank, Se7en & Joe Dirt. There are many more, but those are the can't misses off the top of my head.

Ok, well those two movies had better be the Godfathers, and that leaves me to wonder why the hell you haven't seen The Shining?

Also, consider Se7en added to my list, I always watch that one too. Oh, and Fight Club, speaking of Brad Pitt.

The Breakfast Club and the Shining are the two. I have never seen any portion of any Godfather movie.

But I do love Godfather's pizza.
