3) Pitch Black & The Chronicles of Rid****-both brutal but I dig em
4) Buckaroo Banzai Across the Fifth Dimension-too many good quotes to give up
5) A Fish Called Wanda

There are clearly two distinct categories going on here. Those flicks you choose to watch with intent and forethought and might be afraid to let others know you intentionally decided to spend time viewing them, and those flicks that are on cable which hook you in every time you happen to click on them while tooling about the channels. The first part is hard to figure since most of the people I know have tastes which run in the same vein anyway.

The second category is the one more prone to getting a few "really??" type looks.

Road House, is one that I have clicked on and not left a number of times.
Last Samurai, is another.
Despicable Me, is a fairly recent one...
2012, for all the over the top special effects
Various Rambo movies
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...(I actually own the Vinyl LP of the soundtrack...)
Ferris Bueller...what can one say.
Flesh and Blood (Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Lee)
Rush...love the soundtrack (own it) and it can just suck you into the mood
many obscure Fantasy titles if it has redeeming features...

[Don1966]

Wow! Will you marry me? I am sure we can deal with the fact that I am a dude, my wife may not approve though.

no offense but i really couldn't deal with the fact you are a dude as i am one also. but i am flattered.

You clearly miss the point of the exercise sir because every movie in that list is classic. Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Bill Murray, geniuses all of them...

while each can be listed as a classic by a number of people, few are by the supposed movie experts, i.e. film critics. btw i usually enjoy films that film critics usually pan. for the most part a lot of people can say most in my list are cheesey but most will say they are very enjoyable to watch.

...

My list are from both catagories you list, they are also the movies that no matter what I am doing whether playing DDO or surfing the web or doing my online classwork, I can pop in the disc and not even have to look up at the tv to know what is going on.

[Ugumagre]

Really guilty, I only feel when I watch Anime... and no, not "Elfenlied" or "Evangelion" or something like that, I wouldn´t feel guilty watching this ones, but:
"Love Hina"
"School Rumble"
"Solty Rei"
... and so on. Oh, yeah...I feel guilty. But at least I have infected two other friends, so the guilt is not so big.

A movie I cannot help but to watch to the end if I catch it somewhere:

"Groundhog day"
"Star Wars" (IV-VI...)
Some older James Bond movie

By the way, for the ghibli lovers, don´t miss this movie:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Waves_(film)

It is quite different, no fantasy at all, and the young japanese mind is extremly good reflected.

WHAT!!!??? The "guy that played Bones"????!!!!!!!

You mean the fine actor best known for playing EOMIR 3rd Marshal of the Mark of Rohan and nephew to the king himself in some of the awesomest (and most successful) movies ever also known as the

LORD OF THE FRIGGIN RINGS TRILOGY ("friggin" not in actual title)

Ah...Karl Urban. When I didn't even recognize him as Bones. I loved the character and wasimpressed with a job well done capturing DeForest Kelley's performance. Then I got to the end credits. My jaw DROPPED. No way! Riders of Rohan, indeed!
