Films I have to watch when they're on Television
There are some films that, no matter how many times I have seen them before, I have to watch if I come across them on terrestrial television. Even if I own the DVD.
Yesterday it was The Empire Strikes Back. There's something about a Star Wars movie on a "normal" TV channel that still gets me excited. I think it's because I remember the first time that Star Wars on TV, before we owned a video recorder. It was shown at Christmas, of course, and the event is as memorable as seeing it at the cinema.
Other films that fall into this category include all the Back To The Future films, for which I always have to stop what I'm doing and watch.
