Long Kiss Goodnight was on quite regularly some years ago. Think I saw Tango and Cash on the schedules fairly recently.

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.

Yes. It seems a little ironic that it's so rarely broadcast.

I’m sure I caught that on one of the obscure Freeview channels a couple of years ago.

would love to see that again - one might imagine that in today's political climate it might not be seen as prudent to broadcast

I watched it recently on one of the streaming services, Prime I think. It was great really enjoyed it.

I remember years ago they used to show the Rocky films on TV all the time but for some reason they never seemed to show Rocky III not sure why.

Slither with James Caan. Used to love that growing up and never see it repeated anywhere.

ITV2 were showing all the Rocky's right up to Creed 2 quite regularly last year.

Speaking of….. Walkabout.

Another never seen, Le Mans, the proper 1971 Steve McQueen version

[TWODs]

Ones I watched when I was a kid, I now want to torture mine with.

Digby the biggest dog in the world
Sky Pirates (kids with a radio control spitfire take on diamond smugglers)

And then things we had to watch at school like 'The boy from outer space' and 'stig of the dump'

Walkabout was shown on TV some years ago, in fact it's probably still buried on the seized up hard drive of an old Humax in my workshop. Le Mans was on not very long ago I'm fairly sure. The one that I have never seen on TV is 'Grand Prix' and I am really surprised that I was the only poster to mention it on this petrolheads' forum!

The last time I saw it on terrestrial TV was on a British Grand Prix weekend.

It is probably my favorite motorsport film. I know I've seen it on broadcast TV at least 3 times.

Ho hum, my vigilance is faulty then... Fortunately I have it on DVD anyway. I saw it at the cinema when it was released and thought it excellent then.
