When I'm flipping through the channels there are certain movies
that I just stop and watch no matter what part it's on.
Some on my list are:

Godfather 1/2
Field of dreams
The Natural
Caddieshack
GroundHog Day
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket
Gran Torino
Terminator 2

what are yours...

    I thought you were named after the Leo movie 'The Beach,' but I guess not given your choices....with the exception of 'Almost Famous,' I'd rather watch 'The Beach' before any of your other picks..
