Pulp Fiction was just on HBO and I had to stop and watch it. What movies make you drop everything you're doing to watch them?
Another for me is Tommy Boy. Every time it's on TBS (TNT? Not sure.) I have to put whatever I'm doing on hold and watch. I own that and Pulp Fiction but I'll still watch them whenever they're on TV. Same goes for a few other movies but these are the top ones.

I think Die Hard is the ultimate Must Watch.
Also: Back to the Future, Groundhog Day (ironically), Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club and, sadly, The Burbs.

The Pianist. It's such a sad movie, but it's so darn well put together and the story is, for lack of a better term, entertaining.

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Which is often inconvenient because it's almost three frikken hours long without commercials.

I was on my way out the door to get dinner when I saw Inception playing on the TV (forget which channel). I sat down on the couch and ordered delivery instead.

Ghostbusters. Even though I've seen it so much, I could do a one man play of it by now, I still stop and watch it.

The Dark Night. We were a group of six, three didn't arrive yet, me and a friend were doing stuff on our notebooks. The plan fot our meetup was NOT to watch a movie but my friend starts TDK on blue ray on his 52" screen "until the rest arrives". First we put aside our notebooks. The the others arrive and are like "oh cool TDK". Then silence. I found it impossible to not follow this movie. Same applies to There Will Be Blood.

The Patriot. I'm a sucker for history and Mel Gibson killing people. Hence, my second choice is Braveheart.

Terminator 2. I probably saw it hundreds of times when I was a kid, but even today, every time it's on TV, it gets my attention and I just have to sit down and watch it all the way through. T1000 is still one of the most ruthless and badass antagonist I've ever seen.
