Movies that are on cable TV a lot: A Thread by Dale Wisely

Titanic
Lord of the Rings
Clueless (not lately though)

Braveheart.

And it's often repeated several times in one week. Enough already! It was released in 1995! If haven't seen it by now, forget it.

[The Weekenders]

All the Steven Seagal movies. All those Rush Hour movies. The Mel Gibson-Danny Glover movies. Those Whoopi Goldberg nun movies.

Scarface
Shawshank Redemption
40 Year Old Virgin

I once worked with a guy who so identified with the innocent prisoner in Shawshank Redemption that every time it came on TV he'd watched it, memorized it, and would walk around all day at work quoting it.

Shawshank and Fifth Element are the two movies that, should I ever happen across them on television, I immediately stop and watch the rest.

[FJohnSharp]

Yes. I've seen the ending to Shawhank about 25 times.

All the Steven Seagal movies. All those Rush Hour movies. The Mel Gibson-Danny Glover movies. Those Whoopi Goldberg nun movies.

Let us not forget ALL the movies with Julia Roberts - though the good Lord knows I've been trying to forget them.

Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot. RAINMAN. Which I consider to be a very good movie.

And lets not forget the venerable

FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!

I love Shawshank. I think it's just about perfect and one of those that lends itself to rewatching. The story arc is, of course, outrageously good but there's something about the pacing of the movie that's just magic to me. I urge people to get the DVD. It has a treasure of extras.

we had black and white tv when i was a kid, long after everyone else had color tv. i really liked the movie fahrenheit 451. then i saw it in color, what a different movie that was. not nearly so stunning. if you get the chance to see this movie and can make your tv be black and white, give it a go.

With the guy I worked with I have the feeling that renting a DVD of the film wouldn't have been quite the same for him.

It seemed to me that the movie took on a sort of a mystical throw the coins or yarrow sticks of I Ching quality when he'd turn on the TV and there it was,
over and over and again.

We had black and white as a kid too...

Every afternoon Elizabeth Montgomery would smile at me and say "Stay tuned for Bewitched, in living color". I'd wait to see and it was still always black and white. Never really have been able to trust blondes with twitchy noses since.

Yeah, Shawshank is on a lot round here- and often I do finish the movie again and again-I've loved it ever since I read it long before the movie-"Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".

The one that seems like is always on is "The Color Purple". That's another one I'm apt to finish if I don't have something else I have to do at the time. The only movie I ever thought was better than the book.
