So... thinking about this, there are a few movies that when they show up on the holiday weekend or whatever, i just can't help stopping in and watching... at least till the commercials.

Guilty pleasure... Devil Wears Prada comes to mind

Pretty much any of the Jurassic Park movies

Wedding Crashers.

For me it's the usuals

Tremors
Roadhouse
Shawshank
Armageddon
Step brothers
Talladega Nights
Dodgeball
Old school

My weird one is Easy A. Maybe just because it's on all the time.

The worst one is Grown Ups 1/2 but I'll put it on if i see it. Also it's on all the time.

I've been watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix (also available on tv shows streaming sites).

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, perfectly casti as the lead, fearless and smart. I am only on ep 2 and really enjoying it. Let's hope it keeps it up.

Edge of tomorrow
Mission impossible 3 - Hoffman is great in this movie
Knight and Day
Jack Reacher - the first one. Second one sucked.

I normally like watching movies from beginning to end but if these are on I usually stop what I'm doing and watch it through.

The Devil Wears Prada
Urban Cowboy
Rounders
Top Gun
Karate Kid

Others that I'll stop if they're close to some of my favorite parts:
The Dark Knight
Rocky
Deadpool
Pretty in Pink
Can't Buy Me Love

If you are not aware there is a great podcast called the Rewatchables that cover so many of these films and discusses what makes them so great. Worth a listen.

This is what I came to post. This one shows up all the time on the channels when I'm surfing between commercials, and I always find myself watching up until episode 2. Years and years, this show still holds up. I can't think of any other movie/show that comes close to this comparison for re-watchability over this years.
