Films rarely on tv and dvd
Lots of movies that are never shown on tv. I wonder why. Not even on dvd some of them.
A couple to mention.
Cohen & Tate ..1988 roy schieder
Soldier Blue - 1971 peter strauss
Not sure if these movies are ever shown on sky . Must be lots of movies in the archives which don't get a dvd release or tv showing. TV seems to churn out the same movies over and over/ (i know soldier blue is on dvd)

I don't think that it's available on DVD in UK either.
I may have to buy it from iTunes one day.
Watch the Horror Channel! They have plenty of Hammer films.
Psycho 2, seeing it on ITV the other night reminded me of how long since its been shown. There are so many I could list them all night but won't. It's just a pity that huge chunks of cinema have been discarded in favour of endless repeated screenings of The Day After Roland Emmerichs Independence Day with a side order of Michael Bay Dying Hard while in a Night at the Museum.
Haven't seen either of them for years, and as Jimmy Savile appears in Ferry Cross the Mersey, I guess the chances of this one being shown again on TV aren't great at the moment.
Can't say about TV showings, but both your examples are available on DVD.
On the Beach has been on TCM I think never seen the newer one on TV though.
A low budget science fiction film last seen on TV in the nineties.
Les Diaboliques
Network
Buckaroo Banzai
Wages Of Fear
Rififi
Harold And Maude
All are "classics" that I would like to see, but not sure if they're worth paying for,
Hmm, I might look on eBay.
Also I'd like to see the spaghetti western spoof They Call Me Trinity and Drunken Master 2 both of which seem impossible to get.
Also Gladys Knight had a minor hit with the theme to a movie called The One and Only. Never seen that.
Maybe some are too bad to show on telly.
2 other films that spring to mind that i haven't seen on tv for sometime is the Dana Carvey comedy 'Clean Slate' & the Nicolas Cage film 'Trapped in Paradise'.However both are available on dvd.
21 was shown last year on channel 5
The Warriors
Time Out.
And on FilmFour last week.
And went through a three month period of being shown at least twice a week on Sky Movies when it first appeared on Sky Movies Premier.
