Not sure if posted earlier, but what movie comes on TV and you HAVE to watch it?

[CockSure]

It's a Wonderful Life.

 

[mavcock]

I appreciate the responses. I have a lot of movie viewing to do in the next few months before our football season.

 

[NYC_Gamecock]

For me, it would be an old early 1970s science fiction movie called "The Omega Man" starring Charlton "Moses" Heston. Now, I may not watch it because I have the DVD.

 

[permacock70]

Mine is Tombstone and Roadhouse. Yours? I watched Roadhouse this weekend and Tombstone right now.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE

CASINO

 

[76gintcock]

Hoosiers and My Cousin Vinnie. And, I suppose, Princess Bride and Young Frankenstein.

Add Godfather 2. Spectacular movie. Best of De Niro's career. Which says a lot about De Niro.

Cant believe no one has listed The Hunt For Red October.

Also, like many others, Shawshank & Private Ryan.

 

[TheReelEss]

For my wife, Pretty Woman. For me, Saving Private Ryan, Patton, Airplane, Napoleon Dynamite,

For my wife, The Notebook, and she cries every time. For me, Godfather(s), The Outlaw Josey Wales, Casino, Goodfellas, pretty much any at decent gangster flick.

As a native Beaufortonian, of course Forrest is on the list. So is The Great Santini, The Big Chill, Something to Talk About, etc.

 

[uscg1984]

I had a rare night to myself last night and watched American Me. I hadn't seen it since it was new. Excellent flick.

 

[TheReelEss]

Oh, I'll also watch any of those Jesse Stone made for TV movies based on the Robert B parker novels.

 

[USCLaw85]

For my wife, The Notebook, and she cries every time. For me, Godfather(s), The Outlaw Josey Wales, Casino, Goodfellas, pretty much any at decent gangster flick.
