Inspired by the Speechless Movies thread, I began wondering what movies you HAVE to watch every time they come on TV.

Every time I see them on TV, I HAVE to watch "Shawshank Redemption", "Wizard of Oz", and "Dude, Where's My Car" even though I own everyone of those DVD's.

Which movies can you just NOT pass up??

Most romantic comedies.

We own a TON of DVDs so we have just about everything on those. I love the Jaws movies, and they get shown a lot. Tremors movies too...

As for must see movies...Moulin Rouge, Kill Bills, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Return to Me, The Royal Tennenbaums, Harry Potters, Disney movies, Mortal Kombats, etc etc etc.

Yeah. I watch a lot of movies...

I cannot call Christmas over without watching A Wonderful Life.  It's my all time favorite movie.

Others are A Beautiful Mind, Mary Poppins, Iron Man (which is a new one added to the list because it was awesome).

And ditto to Sunny D.  I can watch A League of Their Own over and over.

And another ditto to Freke...we just did a Kill Bill marathon this weekend.

Also, Resident Evil.  Love, love, love it.

I love Resident Evil too! I have no idea why either! I can't stand zombie movies ordinarily, but I love those! I don't get it at all. Have you seen the newest one? I haven't yet...

Oh, DITTO to that! I completely forgot about it, but I do watch it any time it's on. "I'm your huckleberry" gives me the chills!!

I watch Kill Bill, too, although DH hates it.

Yes I did.  I loved it, you should watch it.  I don't understand why either because I'm the same way.  But Resident Evil is awesome and she kicks butt.  I might have to set up some time on Saturday to watch the set all over again

Easy Money - Rodney Dangerfield, he is a crack up
Mr. Mom

Any and all Christmas movies
