I watched Zombieland a few weeks ago after it had its terrestrial TV premiere, but I noticed that it was released in 2009 which means it took five years for it to be shown. Normally it seems to take about 3-4 years after a film's release before it's shown on TV, but the length of time does seem to depend on how good/successful a film has been.
I've noticed that Inception still hasn't been on TV and that is four years old, so it must be due to be shown pretty soon.
So It got me thinking what other decent films that were released over four years ago still haven't been on terrestrial TV yet?

ITV have shown it several times.
Sky stopped showing it a while back as well!
I do watch some on movie Mix , Movies4men which now is on freeview though to.
correct , Dark Knight has never been on terrestrial/freeview .
Sherlock Holmes is another one that is five years old, so is due a showing on TV. I suspect that at least some of these films will be shown over Christmas though.
Also one phenomena I have noticed recently is to show the first film on TV just as the sequel is released in the cinema, such as the 21 Jump St TV premiere being used to promote the sequel.

The whole Batman trilogy is now on Buy and Keep in the Sky On Demand section. Which i find annoying as i haven't seen the last one..Same with Kick Ass 2. Still can't rent it.
I think the first one has been.
Nope, not yet.
Halloween II is listed for 5* tomorrow night, Radio Times says it's the premiere of the 2009 film but the Sky EPG says it's the 1981 sequel.
5* are actually showing the 1981 one with 4music showing exactly the same film one hour later at 10:00pm. A few TV guides have got confused and thought it was the sequel to the new one despite the fact that the first Rob Zombie movie hasn't even appeared on terrestrial TV yet.
The first Hangover movie still hasn't been shown.
How many sequels have been shown on Terrestrial TV before the original film? I think it has happened occasionally.
