Mandatory Movies

Mandatory movies are movies that I've seen a million times. But for some reason, whenever they're on I find that I simply have to stop what I'm doing and sit down and watch them. I realized this last night as I came across Blackhawk Down while channel surfing. Even though I've seen it several times, it was like my hand froze and I couldn't use the remote. I was stuck watching the drama unfold once again, riveted and entranced by a very compelling story. Some of you may be able to relate. Here's a sampling of some other mandatory movies of mine... is there a pattern here?

  • Saving Private Ryan
  • Band of Brothers
  • Braveheart
  • Last of the Mohicans
  • Open Range

Okay, so there's actually more...

  • Dumb & Dumber
  • Office Space
  • Tommy Boy
  • Dukes of Hazzard (guilty pleasure!)

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I could think of for now. Stay tuned for an updated list. With as much tv as I watch, the list could double by.... tomorrow.
