Movies I Can't Pass Up When Channel Surfing


I just saw a list of movies that Mike Rowe Can't Channel Surf By.  Below is my list.  This is not a list of my favorite movies.  That's a different list.  Right now, I'm watching "Stripes."  It's not listed below, but it's a good one.  "That's the fact, Jack!"

In no particular order and with the certainty that I'm leaving something off...

Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Annie Hall
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Any 1950s era scifi or horror movie
Tremors
So, I Married an Axe Murderer
Ghostbusters
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the one with Donald Sutherland)
When Harry Met Sally
Clue
The 'Burbs
The Money Pit
Midnight Run
Dr. Strangelove
Funny Farm
What About Bob?
Barefoot in the Park
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Vacation
Caddyshack
Support Your Local Sheriff
Honeymoon in Vegas
Stakeout
A Summer Place
Where the Boys Are
Valley Girl
A Star is Born (the one with Kris Kristofferson)
Outrageous Fortune
Down and Out in Beverly Hills

Stripes is definitely worthy of making your top ten list... I always wanted to do the "Aunt Jemima treatment" after seeing that movie...jus saying!

I love The Body Snatchers and Clue and one other one that was just 2 above Body Snatcher.

That list brings back some memories, most of them I had completely forgotten about. Definitely some really good ones. "Support Your Local Sheriff" was incredibly funny and wacky, loved that flick!

I watched an unexpectedly good and very funny movie on Blu-Ray today, "Knight and Day" With Cruise and Diaz. I really enjoyed it.

Watch if you get a chance =)

se7en, I hadn't even considered putting that one on my NetFlix list, but I will now. Thanks.
