Movies you cannot turn off (1 Viewer)

[Buzzz Miller]

With all the talk lately, I just thought I would pull one up. And that is movies that no matter when they are on, you end up sitting in front of the TV watching it to the end. I come out of the shower with a towel on, and realize that I am still in the towel on the couch when the credits roll. Not best movies of all time, but ones you just can't turn off;
Fletch
The Waterboy
The Count of MonteCristo
Shawshank Redemption
Major League
The Mask of Zoro
The Natural
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Frank McClusky C.I.
Back to the Future
Caddyshack

I could go on and on and on. I have lots of kid's movies I've watched hundreds of times with my kiddo and enjoy them everytime.

I can watch just about ANY movie with Morgran Freeman in it a thousand times. His voice just draws me in and he's such a brilliant actor. His talent keeps me watching even if the movie sucks.

PS: It looks like a lot of us have the same lists.

 

["Dr. Dirt"]

"Meet Joe Black" comes to mind as one I can't turn off.
All the rest you guys have already mentioned.
