I love to watch movies.. Im a movie freak, and there are some movies that I've seen over and over and over so much that I know every part of the movie..i'm sure there are many of you who are the same way. The thing that bugs me is when you watch a movie on TV..like on TBS or TNT they like to play the same movies over and over a few times every weekend...I guess so people don't miss them..and I love that because if I want to I can watch a movie I really love 3 times in a day..LOL .. BUT.. they cut out half the dang movie. Some of it I know they cut because its too mature for regular TV..but some of the stuff they cut isn't all that bad and it ruins the movie. You just have to pretend it was in there LOL Its not such a problem if you know the movie well because you know what they cut out..but someone seeing the movie for the first time played there is missing the best parts and probably wondering what is so great about this movie.
What movies do you watch over and over and never get tired of? would you rather they didnt play the movies on regular TV at all rather than mutilate it for public TV, or do you not mind that they edit them?

Some movies I never really get tired of are:
The Big Lebowski (I watch it every single time it's on, no matter what, lol)
Office Space
Indiana Jones (I actually haven't seen them in a while, and they're almost never on TV)
Highlander (just the first one, and I also watch this one every time it's on)
I can't really think of a movie right now that's been mutilated, but I'm sure there are many. I didn't see Kill Bill when it came on TV, but it must have been butchered.

There are quite a few movies I get annoyed at watching them on regular tv because of the editing. Like scary movies, they have to edit so much out of them that sometimes they aren't even the same movie. That drives me nuts. There aren't many newer movies I can just watch over an over again. The only newer movie I could watch over and over is Walk the Line and it hasn't made it on regular cable yet. There are two older movies I love watching, Dirty Dancing and Halloween. I love those movies.
