movies which are on tellie way too often

juicenewton*  said about 1 year ago  or at  3:53PM on Monday, August 8 2011 in television

We can keep track here.

Ghost was on last night and although I don't mind a bit of otherworldy Swayze romance in high-waisted pants, they don't ever program Point Break nearly as often.

Video store dude is getting it in from another store for me. Just finished watching Basic Instinct. Haven't seen it since 1992. Fuck what a great film. Real film noir that doesn't seem dated at all.

Back in the day, it was Twins and (the gold standard) Bird on a Wire. The commercials would always play the clip when they were on a ladder and Goldie's skirt would blow up.


slothman  said about 1 year ago:

a few good men gets a smashing.

and that goldie hawn/steve martin film is The Housesitter a very silly film not to be confused with the brilliant sinbad/phil hartman joint Houseguest

True Lies.

YES. I've seen it repeatedly, and always on tv.


fzchk  said about 1 year ago:

I can never get enough of True Lies, I don't care if its on the TV a lot.


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

I can never get enough of True Lies, I don't care if its on the TV a lot.

I don't think I can either. Great movie. I think I've only once seen it not on TV, and that was on VHS. Aw yeah.


juicenewton*  said about 1 year ago:

Noticed the Devil Wears Prada is on again tonight. Thought I wouldn't give a shit seeing the Omen was also - but then realised it's the remake, fucken. And the Deer Hunter is on too but at 11.30 or something sheeesh!!

Yep.

And BTW Bring It On is on telly all the time because gymnastics is the best sport ever. Yep!


Coz  said about 10 months ago:
