Great older movies you really like that NEVER get replayed on TV
I really wish that TV stations expanded their horizons and played movies we haven't seen in years or cult classics that deserve a shot.
So many of the same shit over and over and over and over. Worse is the stupid remakes that suck balls or worse yet the horrible prequels/sequels. I'll start with two: One on One starred: Robby Benson, Annette O Toole and GD Spradlin. Plot: High School All Star BB players goes to college and is not so special anymore Divorcing Jack only known actor/actress is Rachel Griffiths Divorcing Jack is a 1998 satirical black comedy. The plot is set around the Northern Irish reporter Dan Starkey who gets entangled in a web of political intrigue and Irish sectarian violence, at the same time as Northern Ireland is set to elect a new Prime Minister. Writer Colin Bateman adapted his own 1995 book as the screenplay. I would also love to see "The White Shadow", "James at 15" and "Family" television series replayed from start to finish. |
Sounds like a good way to get their viewers to change the channel

There are a few.
Give me some Deep Blue Sea action. It’s got Sam Jackson doing Sam Jackson things. I laugh at all the Thomas Jane jokes. And it might be relevant again with all the CRISPR stuff going on at the moment. I’ll also take some Ghost and the Darkness. I’ll always stop what I’m doing and watch that. Particularly after it gets rolling. |
Have to think about this one a bit....
The answer definitely isn't Road House. That movie is always on some channel somewhere. |
I just got to watch Eating Raoul (1982) for the first time since National Video existed in Brookside in the 80s. I was 14 or 15 when I saw it and thought it was funny, but I didn't understand some of the more grown up social satire. It is certainly one of a kind! On HBO Max now.

Kelly's heroes, an early Clint Eastwood classic that has an all-star cast, and The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

As for the topic, I was actually thinking about posting something similar. There are so many great movies that fall into this category, but the one that got me thinking about it was the old Al Pacino movie And Justice For All, a scathing rebuke of the legal system from '79, and probably my favorite Pacino movie outside of the first two Godfathers. Can't remember the last time I saw it on TV; I'm sure it's been decades. The final scene is unforgettable. I would post the YouTube video, but it is the final scene and would kind of ruin the rest of the movie for anybody who hasn't seen it. |
