So it's Friday night, wife just fell asleep and Im surfing on Showtime. Fast Times at Ridgmont High is on, as a matter of fact it just started. I will watch to the end. What are the movies that you will never turn off or surf past no matter how far into movie it is? I think I remember seeing this type of thread a while back but don't feel like searching. Some others that I will never change the channel on:

Caddyshack
Shawshank Redemption
Road House
Crocodile Dundee. and the sequel
Men in Black original
Cool Hand Luke (although not on that often)
Taking Chance
13 Hours
American Sniper


I know I am missing a bunch...what you got? Which movies will you never turn off?

I don't understand why it happens with The Matrix. I find myself wondering why I am watching it but I can't turn it off

Thankfully you listed American sniper last so I stopped reading at the appropriate time.
Seriously?

I'll add Animal House, Jaws and Goodfellas. These movies are on a lot but they always suck me in. Plus Goodfellas was so well made.
Brian as Luke pointed out your list is suspect. Roadhouse???? Is this the movie with Patrick Swayze as the tough guy hero. If Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson played that role it might have been watchable.

I get stuck on the Matrix as well...any one of them. And I've seen them all like 5 times

First of all, I can't believe I forgot Animal House....definitely one that does not get changed. Second, that is exactly the Patrick Swayze (RIP) movie. Maybe it's all the '80s cheese dripping off it, but so be it. I'll have a cheese sandwich:)

Most of those I'm with you on, but the Indy movies stop at 1& 2 for me. I totally forgot about Time Bandits, growing up that was on like all the time on The Movie Channel and I watched it all the time.
