Waking Life. I dare you to stay conscious.
Waking Life...That's a good one... A movie about Dreams.
Good soundtrack too.

I have fallen asleep in What Dreams May Come at least twice.
lots of good suggestions on here.
didn't realize it, but the Mann movies (which I own and love) have certain qualities that make me pass out.

Before Sunrise
Perhaps because I have seen it about 30 times, but Apocalypse Now is a good movie to fall asleep to. It's a great movie, but when you know what is happening, Sheen's narration is pretty relaxing.

Out of Africa and 2001 (both already mentioned) are what instantly came to my mind. I've tried to watch both of these movies several times and have never gotten more than about 20 minutes into them.
Strangely, horror movies also make me go to sleep, too. I've tried to watch The Shining and The Changeling (George C. Scott version) several times and always go to sleep.

The Notebook.
Best nap I ever took. Awoke to the credits and a sobbing wife, confused as hell as to what I did or said to upset her...

The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.
Snooze City.
"Lets give these trees some friends here."
Guarantee you'll fall asleep. And if anyone dares to put down Bob Ross, I will display internet anger!

They just have a dark and soothing feel to them. I went through phases where I would watch Collateral and then Miami Vice every night while falling asleep. Even the daytime shots are dark and grainy and the imagery is always on the dreamy side. Even the gunshots in movies like Heat and Miami vice have a somewhat muffled sound as opposed to the typical obnoxious Hollywood gunblast sound.
The Assassination of Jesse James
The Thin Red Line
Two good movies that will put you right to sleep.

Good one. It's a pretty good movie, but you need to prep with a cup of coffee and cleared out afternoon schedule.
Tombstone works for me... I love the movie... and perhaps my familiarity to it allows me to just drift away
benjamin button...

easy. The big lebowski. Its my absolute all time favorite movie so I dont have to look at the tv to know exactly whats going on in the picture. That and the music within the first 10 minutes of that movie along with Sam Elliots narration. Sometimes I dont even make it past that.
The only time I have ever fallen asleep in a movie theater was while trying to watch The New World.
My old roommate used to rely on The 13th Warrior at bedtime even though he really liked the movie.

atag has a good strategy. Pick a movie you love with heavy dialogue and good music. If you've seen it a lot, you're less tempted to try and watch because you can see it in your head.
I agree with many of these movies:
Syrianna
Ronin
There will be blood
Benjamin Button
Syrianna
Ronin
There will be blood
Benjamin Button
Ghostbusters, not sure why...
Apollo 13 is one of my favorites! Great movie that I've seena gillion times so I know I'm not missing anything. And when I wake up it's still on.
Another along this line is A Few Good Men.

Shawshank Redemption and Dumb and Dumber.....but only if you've seen them many times.
The Tree of Life. Unless you're the kind of person into art fils, no way in hell you make it past the hour mark, especially in a dark room. The soothing music helps.

Nobody has it in them to put down Bob Ross. How could anyone every have anything bad on him? "Happy little trees. It's your world!"
The Matrix. The first one is very low key, especially in the beginning. If you can make it past the rainy car ride you're doing good.
I've fallen asleep many times watching it on tv.

Neverending Story
Meet Joe Black. Lots of dialogue and really good music. My wife loves that movie and its pretty much a guarantee I fall asleep during it.
