Is 'Shawshank' the most watchable movie ever?

[addison4ya_28]

Anytime this movie is on I'll watch it. Even if I just watched it a week earlier. It just never gets old to me.

Another one for me is Fargo.

 

[7 Iron]

Band of Brothers

If I stumble across Shawshank on cable, and the movie is just starting, I think to myself, "Crap there goes 2 1/2 hours".

Same goes with Goodfellas. Even the crappy edited version.

 

[origino]

I always watch Shawshank when it is on. The Godfather 1&2 are a close second.

 

[Red Five]

The Hunt for Red October gets me every time.

 

[bevo_daddy]

Back to the Future for me

 

[wolfman]

I almost always watch Shawshank when I find it on. Office Space is another one that comes to mind.

 

[GhostOfTomJoad]

Since it pulled me in just last saturday I've gotta pimp The Outlaw Josey Wales.

 

[mia1994]

The Fugitive
Die Hard

For my wife it is Urban Cowboy... I honestly don't understand.

 

[OakHillHorn]

[BLESSMEHORNS]

I have to throw Red Dawn into the mix

 

[buffsoldier]

Fifth Element for me.

 

[HornGrad'01]

Seems like every weekend TNT shows a Cruise flick (Top Gun / Few Good Men / The Firm) that ropes me in. Not a big fan of Cruise of late, but there was a time when he made good flicks.

[AggieFactFinder]

U571 gets me every time.

 

[madscientist]

also, ghostbusters.

 

[parkerco]

braveheart always gets me

 

[YoLaDu]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I consider it the perfect movie. Script, pacing, soundtrack, acting, storytelling, tone, editing, details, sound, visual images, etc.

Film making at it's finest.

 

[Music City Horn]

For me, "Hoosiers" is that film.

 

[diva]

Princess Bride

 

[MAROON]

there are so many for me it's not even funny:

Patton
True Grit
Goodfellas
Godfather I / II
Raising Arizona
Big Lebowski
Stripes
Blazing Saddles
Sixteen Candles
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

etc, etc. etc.

I guess I am just different than most folks. I can watch a movie I like at the most 2 or 3 times. After that, I pass over it for something I haven't seen.

Hook em

 

[JohnnyYuma]

An Officer and a Gentleman, The Right Stuff, Animal House
