So yeah, if you've done this, then you know exactly what I mean. Which are your favorite movies to run repeatedly?

Being John Malkovich
Spaceballs
Blazing Saddles
Yojimbo
Aguirre, Wrath of God
Space Mutiny (Mystery Science Theatre 3000)
A Boy and His Dog

Actually, with a couple exceptions, this is almost like a list of my favorite movies. But not quite. I like to have black comedies playing for some reason.

I've probably run Clue the most. I use movies like most people use CDs. I also do a lot of Britcoms since all the ones I own I've practically memorized, so no need to pay real close attention.

Weird I thought I was the only one who did this...I love putting movies on in the background of other activities!

The Big Lebowski, The Breakfast Club, & Donnie Darko are my three favorite films for 'ambience'.

They're so good they can be distracting at times...especially Breakfast Club.
