LOL- I really thought I was going to be the first one to mention that movie. I LOVE The American President!!

Shawshank Redemption is another one that I watch everytime I happen to pass by it while channel-flipping.

Nevermind the fact I own both on DVD Of course, we did buy them both because we were always watching them on TBS.

I've never watch Office Space on TV, but it is the movie I watch most often on DVD. I get such a kick out of the fax machine scene - I used to want to do that to an evil copier at my former employer. And everyone at work quotes that movie - TPS reports, red staplers, a "case of the Mondays," efficiency experts, Lumberg impressions. I think of the old man with the walker (opening credits) every time I'm stuck in traffic. What an awesome movie!

I don't like to watch movies over and over again, but I do get suckered in every time I come across Jaws and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

 

[JC Drake]

Being a guy, I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I absolutely have to watch The Cutting Edge.

 

[Jolie C]

Why Drake!! A whole sensitive side to you that I never knew about....

I have to say Office Space and Christmas Vacation

For my DH it is Urban Cowboy ... drives me nuts we have it here in the house to be watched at anytime . yet when it comes on one of our million stations he has to watch it or Tivo it ?????? He is nuts I swear.

I've noticed that Shawshank Redemption has been on a lot of your lists (including mine).

What is it about this movie that compels you to watch it whenever it's on?

I've seen several movie critics who rate this as the best movie ever made.

 

[julie_yet]

Rear Window

 

[Planogirl]

Grease
West Side Story
The King and I
Star Wars
Halloween
Anything with Cary Grant.

It's funny though because we have most of these but I still have to watch them when they're on.

It's just a really well done story, great acting and great characters (good and bad). Andy Dufraine is a likeable character, and he handles a horrible situation with such grace, especially given his innocence.
