I run these on loop for background noise all the time ....

Snatch
The Dirty Dozen
The Thing
The Matrix
I lived in a dirty frat house for about a year aroun 1999 and we had a VCR which would restart the movie at the end of the tape. We always had music playing,
one of the roommates was a dj (I also DJed and played in bands), so the TV was rendered to basically background art.
and as such, the living room TV ALWAYS played Half Baked. From time to time we would mute the stereo and turn on the volume for a scene, which before long everyone had that movie memorized.
Literally 24/7. If you walked thru the living room at 4:30 am, the TV was the night light.
We had a lighter taped to an old coil style phone cord attached to the living room coffee table, so that was the smoke spot and I had many a session with Half Baked as either background visual art or temporary entertainment.
All the bills were split 5 ways and we would throw monthly parties with the money we made from recycling (back when you got paid I think 15c per can) charge $5 a head for cups, and sell all sorts of drugs, so the house was making money, thus we didn't really care about the electric bill.
Good times.

I have also seen Pulp Fiction and Big Lebowski many many times.
A band I was in around 2005 had a garage with an extra room which became the break room/drug abuse room/hangout spot and there was a similar TV situation which would default to pulp fiction or lebowski, occasionally some weird arthouse shit the guitarist was into, or an old Pink Floyd movie.
