Ohhh good one. That's definitely on the list, too.
Probably would also include Demolition Man.

And I went to go click on the laughing emoji...
(But let's be real, we all probably turn them off after a few minutes)

After reading through this thread and thinking about it, I'd also add:
Billy Madison
You've Got Mail (my favorite rom com)
The Rock
XXX (Vin Diesel movie)
Any original Indiana Jones
Also, while not a movie, I'm watching any early season episodes of Law and Order: SVU if they pop on.
Again, these are movies that I wouldn't actively choose to watch but if they're on as I'm flipping through channels in a hotel room or some such or a lazy afternoon and I see these, I'm watching. Movies like Caddyshack, Animal House, Shawshank, A Few Good Men, Rounders, My Cousin Vinnie, etc. I'll still choose to watch and therefore don't qualify. With that thought, I should probably remove Field of Dreams from my list.

Many movies already listed are on my list.
Here are a few more I haven’t seen mentioned yet. Some of these movies are well known, a few are not. Some are critically acclaimed, a few not so much. One actor or director or subject made me think of another. But they’re all movies I finish watching if I flip to them.
Collateral
Django Unchained
Jackie Brown
High Fidelity
Finding Forrester
Good Will Hunting
Dead Poets Society
School Ties
Win Win
Sideways
Braveheart
Three Days of the Condor
An Unfinished Life
No Way Out
Narrow Margin
Enemy of the State
Crimson Tide
The Equalizer

I think my list of truly "never skip past" movies is pretty short.
One that I haven't seen mentioned is Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
UHF was a great suggestion I would probably echo. That may be because it is kind of rare to find on TV though.
Christmas Vacation is probably the most truly honest answer for me. Don't think I've ever come across it and not stayed there.
Hoosiers would be close also.

Good call - seems to be on cable a lot these days and I never skip past it.
Very enjoyable movie that preceded Dazed and Confused by a year, with a lot of the same cast of characters that were on their way to superstardom.
What is this "cable" thing you speak of?

Footballguy
The handful of channels I get on my Zenith TV set as long as I adjust the rabbit ears correctly.

Great one! I went to a Hanz Zimmer concert last night and was bummed he didn't play anything from The Rock. So underrated among action flicks.

Plenty of good choices mentioned already. Going old school here:
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
I think this is one of the best ensemble movies ever. The editing between the hardware store basement, the airplane, Pike, Finch, Meyer, etc is superb.
