What movies suck you in?

I thought of this last night as I was watching The Buddy Holly Story at 2 AM. (And yes I have seen it before.)

What are the movies that always suck you in? Not necessarily your favorites of all time, but the ones that if you just see a snippet of them while channel surfing you HAVE to watch till the end, regardless of whether you have to study or get up early the next day.

Besides the aforementioned Buddy Holly Story, mine are Malcolm X, Gimme Shelter, and Taxi Driver.

Anytime I see My Cousin Vinny, A Few Good Men, or Ocean's Eleven on cable, I usually get sucked into watching the whole thing even though I own them all and have seen them countless times.

When I read the topic, I thought it said "What movies suck" and I was going to list all the movies that I think suck.

OK now I just feel silly

Oh, and some of these movies you people are naming are wack beyond belief.

But I'm just being honest

I know! And it only took me like three years to do it.

And to think some people have done it ni a few months, I'm so slack.

Good to see you around though FIB, or almost-FIB. haha
