@Farnsworth had this one!

What movies will you always watch if they're on TV and you come across them?

I don't sit down and scroll through channels super-often, but if I see any of the following, game over:

- League of Their Own
- Tombstone
- Clueless
- Seven

There are a few others to which I'm always drawn (mostly by Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson), but they're too long and I can't invest that long.

Office space, the American president.

Not movies but I can't turn away from a rerun of modern family, even though I think the show isn't that good. And if I run across a big basketball win rerun on cyclones tv, I can't turn away even if I've watched it 10 times.

Shawshank Redemption - just a great movie, and a good book it was based on. Even though I know what happens, I still have to watch it.

Hunt for Red October - "One ping for distance, Vasili. One ping only."

Tombstone - "You tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!"

The Fugitive - This one was a favorite of mine for a while, but it gained added significance to me when my wife became a member of the American Thoracic Society and goes to their yearly meeting. I always ask her if she's going to sit for the Provasic talk.

We have always avoided the show because everyone and their dog told us how good it was, and we're stubborn. So, within the last few months, we didn't turn the TV when a rerun came on after whatever show we were watching before it - and Phil Dunphy may be one of the funniest characters on TV right now.

Groundhog Day is a good pull. Pretty well anything Bill Murray will rank up there for me. Ghostbusters I or II are always solid. Zombieland, even though he only has a cameo. Pretty well everything he touches.

Janny is less-than-enthused when I randomly drop Tombstone quotes ("It's like playing cards with your sister's kids or something!") in real life. Or when I just say them along w/the movie. That movie has so many great quotes!
 
Back to the Future
Die Hard
Ferris Bueller
Goonies
A Christmas Story (during Christmas obviously)
Beverly Hills Cop (fantastic soundtrack)
Pulp Fiction
Dazed and Confused (fantastic soundtrack)
