I did that yesterday on my way home from our family reunion

There are a few movies that I've watched so many times, that I can even quote certain lines, most of which are Clint Eastwood movies, and the first Smokey And The Bandit.

I've also watched the first Planet of The Apes (With Charlton Heston as Taylor) 4 or 5 times, I can quote a couple of lines from it.

Also, Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet, which was made in 1977 in Phoenix and Las Vegas, the movie itself is pretty stupid, I only watch it just to see how downtown Phoenix looked like in 1977. Also in the end of the movie, where the bus turns on a street and it's driven up the steps of "City Hall", that's actually the Symphony Hall, but when the bus turned on that street (Adams) in that final scene, and they showed a gauntlet of police officers on top of buildings shooting at it, I was standing in the distance, under the awning of a building, wearing either my Led Zeppelin or Bad Company T-shirt. That scene was shot on Memorial Day Sunday of 1977, and I remember it took a couple of hours to shoot a scene that's about a minute long.

I could make a comment on the 'Planet of the Apes'....but I'll be nice.
I remember the Gauntlet movie, boy that one really is a classic.

Todays question:

Which movies do you "always" watch when they are on TV ?

Extra credit if you own the DVD but still watch it each time it comes on TV and deal with the commercials

Bonus question:Are there any movies that you have seen so many times you can "quote" certain lines?

There are a lot of movies I watch when they are on, even though I own the DVD's.

There are a few movies I can quote. To name one off the top of my head is Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

Don't watch TV, but I do have a couple of movies (on the DVD) I watch over and over~~Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Chickflicks, I know, but my husbnad even watches them over and over too! We also watch It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas over and over!

I still like watching Disney movies, repeatedly. I was thrilled when I had my child, and thought, 'oh great! Now I can watch 'em all over again!'

Many titles were added to the repertoire, including The Little Mermaid, which to this day, I can sing the songs. We must've laid on the floor with pillows and watched Bambi a thousand times the week I was home with her while she had the chickenpox. I know I've seen Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and The Sword in the Stone, easily 100 times each. Still love em, still catch em when they are on TV. There's Toy Story and my favorite, Buzz Lightyear -- I wanted to send the film to infinity and beyond. Neither of us was too young, or too old, however you want to look at it, for the newer Disney titles. We watched them repeatedly, on DVD, and on TV, after seeing them on the big screen. The film industry just loves us.

Just recently, it's been Across the Universe, with her (now in college). She's a bonafide hippie-wanna-be who seems to love all things of my generation. Just this week she's at some music festival, a la Woodstock style -- Bonnaroo? And NO, I don't want to know what goes on there, if you happen to know.

I'll wait to catch the movie.
