Movies that you just HAVE to finish if you catch it on the TV?

I'm talking movies that you might see while flicking through the channels and you just have to watch the whole thing because it's that good.

I'm gonna for Shawshank. I've seen it so many times and I never get bored of it when it's on. It's a great film.

Freddy Got Fingered.

Pure kino.

Shawshank Redemption was the first one that came to mind.

Also Saving Private Ryan and Bladerunner (which almost always seems to be on particularly late anyway).

Father Ted is one to stay up for too, although episodic, Channel 4 seems to air them in doubles.

Oh

Yeah if you have Sky over here, they have 100+ film channels that just shoe films dependant on genre, as well as special channels that pop up (Star wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter etc) so you can watch a lot of films on there.

Shit like that ruined Top Gear for me. In 2010 a different network got the rights and they made Ads a third of the entire time slot, and started broadcasting it super late.

I would say The Langoliers but fuck is that movie long. #1 reason why you shouldn't make a film adaptation out of a miniseries.

SBS is basically the Aussie BBC. They had Top Gear for years and didn't broadcast ads before WIN acquired it. They're basically the current Bungie of Australian TV
