Most Watchable Movies

Hello everyone, it is Susan here today and I had planned to talk about my favorite most watchable movies of all time.  I see that Misty talked about books yesterday, so I hope you don’t mind moving on to another form of media/entertainment.

My husband and I often talk about the most watchable movies.  You know….the movies that are in heavy rotation on TBS or ABC Family…that even though you have seen them a million times, you always are able to stop what you are doing and watch them again and again.  You can even pick them up in the middle and still be unable to change the channel.  Not all movies are “watchable”.  There are great movies that I really only want or need to see once.  So what are my favorite, “most watchable” movies?  Here is my list:

When Harry Met Sally – One of the funniest romantic comedies of all time.  After all these years, it still holds up.  There are so many funny lines in this movie and so many sweet moments. And I love the way Sally orders her food.  She just wants it the way she wants it!

Father of the Bride – Steve Martin is one of my secret crushes.  I love him in this one and Roxanne (another very watchable movie, by the way).  He is so funny in this and I love ever moment that he and Martin Short share the screen.  I also love his epic meltdown over hotdog buns.

Four Weddings and a Funeral – Yes, it is a little cheesy in some parts….and I am so over Hugh Grant, but I really do love this movie.

You’ve Got Mail – This is one is a little dated.  I mean, AOL?  But I can’t help myself, every time I see this on, I have to stop and watch.  Maybe it is all the scenes of NY in the fall.  Maybe it is that awesome combo of Ryan and Hanks.  F-O-X.

The Shawshank Redemption – Does this one even need an explanation?  Such a wonderful story of overcoming an impossible situation, friendship, and comeuppance.  Oh and of course, Redemption.

Jerry MaguireYou Complete Me.  Why do I tear up every time I see that scene?  It seems as though in that scene, he is also doing the sign language signs for You Complete Me, but you can’t see it.  So touching.  I love watching how Jerry is so totally transformed from beginning to end….all because of a moment of clarity and a Mission Statement.

Groundhog Day – Seriously, one of the funniest and yet most touching movies ever written.  I love watching Phil journey through all of the most base human emotions (shock, confusion, anger, resentment, greed, and finally altruism, acceptance and love).  Love love love this movie.

Ocean’s ElevenGeorge Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, nuff said.

Bourne Identity – Matt Damon in a James Bond-ish role?  Who knew?  Of course, this movie is better than any James Bond movie ever was.  I can come into this movie at anytime and be totally engrossed.  Maybe it is because it was shot mostly in Paris (my favorite city).  Maybe it is because Matt Damon is mega hot in this movie…..I don’t care….I just love it.

Speed – Is this the best that Keanu Reeves has ever looked?  Hunky, buff, and hot hot hot.  The chemistry between him and Sandra Bullock is terrific.  The story is pretty gripping as well.  As they are speeding towards the break in the highway, I always wonder, are they going to make it????

So those are some of my favorites.  This list is by no means comprehensive.  There are dozens of others that could have easily made this list.  I just don’t have enough space here to list them all.  I’d love to hear what you guys think.  Which ones did I miss?  What are your favorite, most watchable flicks?
