My bad habit is if I am scanning through channels and I come upon the last 10 or 15 minutes of a movie, I will watch the end of that movie (which I have never seen). The only saving grace for me is that I totally forget movies after I watch them, so I can watch that whole movie a year later and have no idea how it ends. I also have no clue how people quote lines from movies all the time because it takes only about a month after watching a movie and I can barely tell you anything about it, let alone recall any of the lines.

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!

PapaLew is like that with me & the two boys I brought into our blended family. We LOVE movies, and had watched them since they were toddlers. Several that we can practically recite from memory: Great Escape, Jaws, The Godfather, American President, Star Wars. That last one is pretty much a given.
Many times, just hearing a word or a phrase immediately sends us into a series of quotes from a movie.

I could also keep going...
 
Wow, I have so many....I'll try to whittle it down to my ultimate faves:

Schindler's List
The Godfather (especially part 2)
Saturday Night Fever
Dark Knight (any of Nolan's trilogy)
Psycho (the original - tip of the cap to Knapp Shack on this)
Good Will Hunting
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
Goodfellas
Anything with the Marx Brothers
The Shining
Boogie Nights
Crash
Apocalypse Now
No Country for Old Men
Fargo
I'm sure if I sat and thought about it, I could come up with many more.....long live the cinema!
 
After reading through the lists, I could add at least half a dozen others. A couple I haven't seen -- Casino, and True Romance.

Casino is a great movie, and I thought about listing it. But watching it on a normal TV station just doesn't do it justice. You only get to hear about 1/3 of what Joe Pesci says.

Any iconic 80's/90's that's on that's probably already been mentioned.

Sometimes it's just for nostalgia, sometimes it's because it's just a a good movie, and sometimes it's just to compare how movies were made then, but typically it's all of those combined.
 
Shawshank Redemption. If Animal House and Blazing Saddles weren't all censored to hell and back again I would like to watch them more.
 
First Blood
Napoleon Dynamite
Red Dawn (84)
Shooter
Jeremiah Johnson
The Outlaw Josey Wales
