Five Movies/TV Shows You Never Get Tired of Watching
I'm certain there have already been umpteen million memes similar to this in the past, but I thought I'd start one up:
Name 5 movies or TV shows that you will almost always stop to watch or come back to if you run across them while 'channel-surfing' on a weekend afternoon.
In no particular order, here's mine:
1. "Murphy's Romance" (James Garner, Sally Field)-- a sweet little romance between divorced single mother and older codger-type.
2. "Michael" (John Travolta, William Hurt, Jean Stapleton, etc.) -- something about a lusty, cigar-smoking archangel on earth to make things go right just appeals to me, even tho' I don't normally like JT.
3. "Ghostbusters" (Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis, etc) -- full of classics lines and unlikely heroes saving the world from destruction.
4. "Highlander" (Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery) -- tragic, romantic, full of action and angst: There Can Be Only One! (Duncan who?)
5. "WKRP in Cincinnati" -- doesn't re-run nearly as often as it used to. I spent nearly 6 years working for local radio stations (I wrote commercials), and trust me, that show rang so true: classic episodes, classic situations, funny as hell yet sometimes so tragically dead on.

Your turn!
