Bill Murray (Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day)

Will Ferrell (Anchorman, Old School, Step Brothers)

Jim Carrey (Dumb & Dumber, The Mask, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar)

Adam Sandler/Chris Farley (Billy Madison, Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy)

Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Wayne's World, Shrek)

Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, Good Morning Vietnam)

Harrison Ford (Star Wars, Indiana Jones)

Bruce Willis/Arnold (Die Hard, Terminator)

Steven Spielberg (Jaws, ET, Jurassic Park, etc)

I never see any of the above movies on. You guys have better cable TV than I do. I agree that I will at least watch a part of a lot of those. Shawshank is probably the #1 movie on that list - movies I will watch part of when I see it on. Borne movies would be second on that list. And then Scarface and Goodfellas.

I don't watch them in regular TV because of commercials unless it's HBO or something. I sometimes find them on Amazon, Netflix or Hulu. I wish there was a streaming service that you could just pull up absolutely ANY movie or TV show and watch it. They'd make a fortune with a service like that one.

I have never watched anything on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon. I wouldn't even know how to do that. I just see movies when they're on. Every blue moon I might "on demand" something but that's pretty rare.
 
The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
The Princess Bride
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Any of the Godfather Movies
Gone With the Wind
Forest Gump
Full Metal Jacket

Given the amount of rights fees they would have to pay they would be bankrupt in less than a year.

As the newly dubbed "OOTB Liason to the Underground" I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that there are services out there that, ahem, "circumvent" the rights fees. They don't have all movies/TV shows, but they have pretty damn close to it. A buddy of mine pays like $20 a year for streaming access and I snagged his ID/pword. Definitely not legal though.
 
I have a few older classics that I always watch:

Ben-Hur
Spartacus

I like Civil War movies:

Glory
Cold Mountain

Then...
Gangs Of New York
Sling Blade
The Green Mile (my favorite King adaptation)

Almost Famous
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Trainspotting
 
ETA: I've seen all these several times but will rewatch them in a heart beat.

Westerns:
Lonesome Dove
Quigley Down Under
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Pale Rider
High Noon
True Grit
Rooster Cogburn
The Shootist
McClintock
Little Big Man
Jeremiah Johnson
Mountain Men

War movies:
Saving Private Ryan
The Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Great Escape
Stalag 13
12 O'clock High
Apocalypse Now
The Big Red One
Cold Mountain
Sgt. York

Comedies:
Animal House
Caddy Shack
Ground Hog Day
No Time For Sargeants
Mrs. Doubtfire
Monty Python's Holy Grail
Blazing Saddles
Silver Streak
Mel Brooks' Frankenstein

Action/Adventure:
Any 007 movie
Any Bourne movie
Any Indiana Jones movie
Any Dirty Harry movie

Ya know, that is something I never say, and I don't like hearing it either. I don't want people to hold back because of my sensitivity to it. But, I always notice it, when it's spoken... With the exception of South Park! I dunno why, but, when I hear it there, it just falls on my ear more softly. I barely notice it.

You ever watch South Park episodes on Hulu or the DVD's where they don't bleep-out the dialogue like on TV? It's weird, but, it seems to be funnier when the bleeeep censors the kids. I've never understood that. Must be some kind of conditioning from having heard the bleep so much.

I don't like it even on South Park. I've got pretty thick skin, but this phrase has always gotten under it. Must be a southern thing.

I think it's more of a religious thing. I hear it/use it and don't double take at all. But I think that's because even though I'm somewhere between a theist and a deist - I don't really consider myself a devout follower of Christianity - and I think it's more those that do that consider the phrase offensive.

So I can start a #ChristianLivesMatter group and petition against its use?
 
A couple more movies I'd watch all the way through are Stand and Deliver and Lean on Me

Yes, but expect it to be ridiculed. Christians appear to be one of the groups that doesn't get sympathy for their cause, and anyone who wants to bash your group wouldn't be shamed for doing so. Just an observation from a neutral party.

They would not agree among themselves, are you kidding? LOL the Christian groups will have enough of their own turmoil that they create by arguing over which group is THE group that "really follows Christ."

Green Berets
Kelly's Heroes
A Bridge Too Far

As you can see, Like Billy, I love westerns and war movies. I spent a good part of my childhood playing cowboys and Indians or war games.

I've mentioned before that I started watching the entire Family Guy series on Netflix a few months ago. Somewhere around season 8, the Netflix version doesn't bleep out anything. Had to rewind it a couple times the first time they dropped an F-bomb to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Somehow, uncensored, it's actually more hilarious to me than hearing the bleeps.

I guess it's just individual conditioning.
