    Re: Films that were on TV a lot as a child, but you have never seen since.

    I did see SM.III on TV a couple of years ago on ITV 3 or 4.

    I can understand IV being ignored.

      4 is rather good it has a real message about the danger of nuclear weapons.
      3 isnt bad but the lack of the proper theme tune at the start isnt good and u dont hear it until he defeats ther bad superman.

      Both are on channel 5 a fair bit.

      WAR OF THE WORLDS 1953 IS ONE THATS NOT ON VERY MUCH AT ALL FOR SUCH AN AMAZING FILM.

      Nevertheless i have them all on dvd and bluray

        you're kidding right? lol

        i enjoyed Superman 4 as a kid, but after watching it again as an adult i've realised how utterly bad it really is.

          Great thread idea Jason - I have not watched the Towering Inferno (original one ) for years or known if it was on TV. The same goes for Pretty Woman too as well as Erin Brockovich

          Clockwise is one of my all-time favourites and another one not on TV too regular but not very regular sadly! It is just a shame now most Films that are put on TV a re not even 1st or 2nd class films - a lot seem to be the ones nobody knows of - though may-be it's a sign of the times I sense

            Some films on TV seem to go in cycles of being shown at least once a year for a few years, then not screened at all for years.

            I guess it's what rights deals are in place.

            About 20 years ago Clockwise seemed to be on almost every year for a few years.

                It was on Channel 5 over the weekend. I think they show it about 1nce a year. 5 are notorious for filling-up Sat and Sun afternoons with dire movies!

                Towering Inferno is the exception though...

                One film I haven't seen on terrestrial TV in years is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdCP7RHeYKI

                  I seem to recall The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness (starring Ingrid Bergman) was on a lot...

                        I remember they used to be always on during bank holidays, Herbie Goes Bananas the most common, even though it was one of the weaker ones, but the bit with the plane at the end is fun.

                            Herbie in Monte Carlo seemed to be the one that was shown the least.

                              Glitterball - A gem of a movie for kids. Its about a boy who discovers a silver ball that is in fact a alien. He tries to protect it from a creepy guy called "Filthy" Potter. The ending is brilliant.

                              Pete's Dragon.
