Have one of those movies that you just have to watch????

Do you have one of those movies that, no matter how many times you have seen it, if you happen to catch it on TV you just can't resist watching it? I have 3 unfortunately...in no particular order:
1. Goodfellas
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. A Bronx Tale

Anyone else?

The Thomas Crown Affair. The remake, with Pierce Brosnan is one I always have to watch again and again.

Love the first two, did not like Bronx Tale. The kind from that movie is in jail for murder, became an addict and killed someone in real life.

I remember going to see The Truman Show on it's preview night (before opening) in a nearby city (I had to review it for a website).

I loved it but that isn't the point.

At the end when Truman walked through the door and turned his back on Christof the entire packed cinema audience stood and applauded.

The only time I've ever known an entire audience to become emotionally involved with a film or character.
