Haven't seen Dark Star or Silent Running on terrestrial TV for years. I don't know if they've been on Sky, I only have Freeview

I was just think that 'Demon Seed' with Julie Christie hasn't been on TV for some time now.
I'd also add 'The Lady Eve' which starred Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. I haven't seen that in years. 'Spanking the Monkey' hasn't been shown in a while. Only remember it being shown on Moviedrome back in the mid 1990s on BBC 2. Likewise with 'THX 1138', that got shown on Movidedrome in the 1990s on BBC 2. |

Another dance film that's definitely not on DVD and has only been on TV once (I think) is "Dancers" - it's basically Mikhail Baryshnikov's film of his production of Giselle with a really naff plot woven around it. I'll happily watch Baryshnikov in anything though, so I have it on video.
)I've got a vague recollection it might have been on once or twice since then, but I'm sure actually that in the past month or so I noticed it listed on one of the obscure satellite channels (Sony TV or similar), so that may be worth checking out. |

This is going to sound extremely anoraky but I am 99% certain Dancers was premiered on terrestrial - BBC2 I think - over the Christmas 1991 period (I remember photographically from the Xmas TV Times film pages

I don't have Sky, only Freeview so wouldn't have seen it on any of the satellite channels, but I'm pleased if it does pop up now and again. It's not actually that bad a film (if you like dance films), certainly no worse than the cheesy streetdance film that Diversity, Flawless etc were in a few years ago.

Freebie and the Bean, a 70's cop movie starring James Caan and Alan Arkin which seems to have vanished without a trace.

Ive not really noticed Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead on much, if at all.
I would of thought that would something that has appeal and might suit channel 5 or ITV2 weekend schedule. Its on YT, (at least it was a little while ago) but it would be nice to watch it on telle. |

Is Warlock the Julian Sands/Richard E Grant thing? It was shown on the Horror Channel a lot last year - like every couple of days for a two month period.

Good point actually, I cant remember the last time I actually see that on or hardly any of the others for that matter (bar the remake of course). Need to put them on more often or do an entire marathon of the lot.

There is a film that my Mum hired out years ago in 1998 from MVC, called 'Palookaville'. It was from 1995 and it was a crime comedy with William Forsythe and it is in a similar style to 'Welcome to Collingwood'. Has anyone else seen it?

Happy Together - the Patrick Dempsey comedy. It's not on DVD either in the UK or US. I've got a recording of it from TV back in the 90s, but I'd be very surprised if it's been on since then.

Speedtrap-1970's film that starred Joe Don Baker and Tyne Daly. It was one of the first films I recorded from tv when I got my first VCR back in 1982. Saw it again in '87,both showings on ITV,never seen it listed since.
Also "Patrick",which starred Susan Penhaligon as a nurse caring for a patient (Patrick) with some very strange abilities......,don't think that's been on for a few years. |
