There are certain movies that if you stumble across them, they simply have to be watched. You just cannot even remotely fathom the possibility of changing the channel. Some examples…
The Karate Kid parts 1 and 2
Jaws
The Goonies
Die Hard
Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Shawshank Redmption
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Back to the Future
RoboCop
The Princess Bride
Forrest Gump
Now, I know what you are saying, “Jay, Jason (or whatever you call me) these are just some of your favorite movies.” I will not argue that I enjoy these movies. But some of my all-time favorites are not on this list, such as: It’s a Wonderful Life, Lord of the Rings, and Lawrence of Arabia. Also, I have not included some of MY guilty pleasures, such as Sky High and Grease 2. Some up and comers…Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Batman: The Dark Knight (still working on my Joker impersonation) and Gangs of New York (long enjoyed but keeps moving up my list).
