Bruce, you are definitely not alone. I too have difficulty passing over certain movies, and thus end up watching them over and over again, every time I come across them while flipping channels. I'm always amazed at how much I enjoy them, and no matter how many times I've seen them before, it is always a delight.
A partial list of my "irresistibles", in no particular order, goes like this: Picnic Treasure of the Sierra Madre On the Waterfront Bridge on the River Kwai Mutiny on the Bounty(Brando) The Chase(Brando) Taxi Driver Deliverance Network Zeev ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Hershenson To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 6:19 PM 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?
