Discovering good movies that started as background noise.

When I puzzle I play TV movies in the background on youtube and have disovered several gems I would not have seen otherwise.

Something similar to this ever happen to you?



The puzzle was completely forgotten as I got absorbed in the movie.

I remember being in a school cafeteria when Pacific Rim just started and ended up watching the entire movie.

Not really discovered, but I watched Halloween for the first time while browsing the internet and by the end of it I was fully engrossed.

That was me from about 98 until 2004. Lots of the time at work I would have to tv turned to Showtime,TCM,Sundance or IFC. So many films I would put on as background noise and end up watching all of it and not doing all my work.

Like Cementary Man. WOW never had heard of it and one night at work it was on Showtime. I wasn't giving it my full attention until the night watchman walked by and made a comment about Anna Falchi.

Just wrapped up another one. The premise is basically if Houdini was a private investigator. It was ludicrous fun with the highlight being a foot chase through an amusement park with great use of the rides. I do not think I have ever seen that before.
