Its always worth checking out YouTube for films - don't know how legal it is - but I think for older films it shouldnt be a problem. Type in a film and chances are its on there. I recently watched the 1994 'Fantastic Four' movie which has never been released anywhere else, not even in cinemas or dvd - the story behind the film is interesting as it was made with no intention of being released which the actors were unaware of. Google it and I think you will find it fascinating.
Is this the one that's known for being spectacularly awful? It became a thing to watch one of the Fantastic Four films at parties because of how awful it was...

I have around 150-200 films on YouTube to see! All b/w - incl. about 8 Charlie Chan's not shown for years!

Yes that film was very poor. BBC2 showed the Charlie Chan films many years ago, I also managed to catch a few via Lovefilm

Why's that not on a proper channel? I wanted to see that on the big screen but chains like Odeon just couldn't be bothered with Brit flicks and would rather suck up to Hollywood fare.

Because Studiocanal couldn't find a "proper channel" to buy it.

Depends what you consider a "Brit flick", Gravity is a British film, but people refused to accept it, because it didn't fit their idea of what a British film should be. (From the coverage it was given, it sounds like Britain should only be making films in which poor northerners bitch about the struggles of life, and our entire film industry should be refusing foreign money, cast and crew. )

And the complaints about Gravity being foreign financed were stupid, I can't remember the last I even saw an entirely British-backed film, let alone enjoyed one...

It was certainly on the Sci Fi channel before, it would have been advertised more if they were showing it, surely.

I'm fairly certain it's been on Pick TV before as well...

I think they showed it the same week as BBC Two last showed Zodiac, because I was away and could only record one...

Shame is a great movie also. Hope they don't edit it to pieces in order for it to be shown on terrestrial TV.
