What movies can you...

hasselbrad · 01-05-2006, 07:26 PM

...watch over and over?
You know the movies that are like a bare lightbulb is to a moth, they just draw you in.
Mine, in no particular order are:

The Blues Brothers
Pirates of the Caribbean (I put the DVD in every so often)
Kingdom of Heaven (like crack to my medieval warfare addiction)
Tombstone
Bend it Like Beckham
Saving Private Ryan
Troy (pitiful, since the acting was so horrible)
The Breakfast Club
Real Genius
Gods and Generals (which means I lose about a half day of productivity) Snatch
Pulp Fiction
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Love Actually
Reservior Dogs
Midway
Scent of a Woman

There are others that I'm sure will crop up, but this is all I can think of now.
