    Movies you Watch Anytime

    I posted this in another thread but I thought we could start a discussion of it. Here are my rules.......

    2. If it comes on HBO at 4:30 in the morning when I am drunk will I watch it regardless of work the next morning?

    3. If it comes on TNT with edits galore will I still watch it?

    4. Do I reference things from the movie?
    So my list is following.....

    Good Will Hunting
    Braveheart
    Fletch
    Airplane
    Dude Wheres my Car
    Point Break (YEAH BABY!) ( I AM AN F B I AGENT)
    Super Troopers
    Saving Private Ryan
    Pulp Fiction
    Gattaca

    edit - and ALMOST FORGOT!

    Swingers

    You can't turn it off. I've seen that movie 900 times, and I still have to watch it through to the end every time it's on TV.

    Ditto with:
    Any Clint Eastwood western
    Any of the Matrix trilogy
    Beavis and Butthead Do America

    -Cobra (Stallone baby)
    -Brewster's millions

    Yep, seen this before. Crazy liquor & cheeseburger party got out of control.

    It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.
