Loved this, not seen on TV for years and years??
I bought the dvd of this just last week. It looks dire but fun.

I have quite a few of the ones listed on this thread - one that stands out is “who dares wins” as it is so rarely mentioned anywhere. Really liked that film when I was young lad. It’s aged fairly well, is still quite watcheable.

Yeah, I watched The Long Good Friday as I'd not seen it in years. Dog Soldiers was also on (possibly Film 4) the other week too. Someone mentioned that one earlier.

That was me. I obviously missed that.

Dog Soldiers. 2002 film from Neil Marshall.

It's not just missing from broadcast TV, it's as thought it's been wiped from existence. I read something a while ago about legal shenanigans with the producers. I guess this was never resolved.
I saw that about 10 years or so back maybe but not seen it since then

Used to air fairly regularly on Film4.

1984 from the same year. One I've wanted to watch for quite a while but I've never seen it in the listings.

I can remember going to the cinema in that very year to see it. I also liked Eurythmics "SexCrime" theme tune. I don't think I've ever seen it on TV.

The John Hurt one ? It was on C4 many, many years ago but never since, as far as I know.
