There are probably a few, but the ones that come to mind immediately are the two latest Captain America films. I once wanted to rewatch a moment from Winter Soldier... got lost in the film for two hours. Gotta be careful with that now.

What makes those films is the main character. There are only a handful of characters that I enjoy watching on their own. Walter White is a great character, but I wouldn't want to be like him. Harry Potter is cool, but I can't relate to him. Steve Rogers, though? I worship him. He's humble yet strong of spirit and confident. Put him into a god damn kitchen comedy: I'd watch it till the film thins out.

The only people like that I've encountered so far in video media are Intelligence's Gabriel Vaughn (played by Josh Holloway) and Deutschland 83's Martin Rauch / Morris Stamm (played by Jonay Nay).
