Yeah, I'm a bit bored today! lol When you channel surf, what movie(s) will you always stop to watch regardless if it's 1/2 over or not?

Mine:
The Craft
Napolean Dynomite
Shawshank Redemption
Bring it On ( the first one only )
Legally Blonde ( the first one )

I'm sure there are more, but that's what comes to mind right now. :)

What can I do next?

answers from Portland on

Most of the movies I adore aren't on tv... or they are so heavily edited that it's weird. Last weekend I did get sucked into "Hollywood Shuffle" (which likely dates me).. I wouldn't mind stumbling on:

The Witches of Eastwick
Princess Bride (thanks Christy Lee)
Moonstruck
True Stories (which they never show, but what a fun movie)

Though it's not a movie, every.stinkin'.time I run across Doc Martin, I can't go any further. Must watch Martin Clunes!

answers from San Francisco on

Fun question.

Some great ones below. I'll add:

Overboard with Goldie and Kurt, cheesy but adorable
Apocalypto -- Mel Gibson has his issues, but this movie's violent yet fascinating
Bad Santa -- bad language but once you get past that, it's heartwarming and funny

There aren't many movies I want to watch more than once, but those are three off the top of my head that I just can't resist.

I love The Craft, ending up finding it for $5 and bought it. I'd totally watch Bring it On and Legally Blonde if it was on. I usually get sucked into movies I own and my husband will say "You own this why don't you just pop it in" LOL I don't channel surf much since we have Netflix so if there's nothing on I just browse on there.
