I've seen the Rubber Room 21 times now, more than any other production of any kind.
Whenever Goodfellas comes on TV, I always say I'll just watch fifteen minutes, only fifteen minutes, through the scene in the bar, until we hear the nicknames of the mob guys explained. Before I know it two hours have passed and I'm listening to the instrumental from Leila grow larger and larger as the characters go off - a classic and irresistible denouement.
I've seen Rubber Room more times than Goodfellas and more times than any of my other "mesmerizers" -- which is what I call movies I can't stop watching:
All that Jazz
Once Upon a Time in America
The Godfather
What are yours?
