The thread on the Shawshank Redemption mentions that the movie seems to always be shown on cable networks.
I was thinking of other movies which always seem to be on.
The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller are the two that jump to mind. They’re movies most people have seen and you can jump in at anytime and don’t have to watch the whole movie.
Any other movies like this?
Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II run all the time on AMC.
GoodFellas is another that seems to get a lot of play on a lot of different networks. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you, but I recall even seeing it on Lifetime once.
Also, not a movie, but it seems like between WE, Lifetime and Hallmark, Golden Girls is on 24/7. My wife, who is only working part time right now, watches it all the time. When I leave for work, she’s watching it. If I come home for lunch, she’s watching it. When I go to bed, she watching it.
Does *Ghostbusters *tend to run all the time outside of October?
In Australia, expect to see Love, Actually, About A Boy, and Miss Congeniality several times a year.
My Cousin Vinny seems to get a lot of play. And it’s not hard to find Rounders.
I saw it quite a few times on AMC this summer.
I don’t get Encore or Starz anymore, which is where a lot of the above-mentioned movies are played (at least when I did have access).
TBS, TNT, and USA seem to have spent several years of their broadcasting history showing up such cinematic masterpieces as The Mummy, The Mummy 2 and The Scorpion King. I have managed to never watch any of them through their entirety. Also popular on AMC are Working Girl and Cool Hand Luke.
When I can surf through all my channels and NOT see “Dirty Dancing” running, I’ll know the end of the world is nigh.
I almost posted a thread both last week and this week titled Hooray, FX is showing White Girls - Again!
FX isn’t even *trying *to find good movies to show.
Not a specific movie, but I believe that you don’t have to wait more than a day to see a Clint Eastwood film on TV.
The remake of Parent Trap with L Lohan.
Isn’t there a James Bond movie always playing somewhere at some time?
Not right now, but a couple years ago “Tremors” was on all. the. time. (I like “Tremors” - Kevin Bacon never looked so cute!)…Also: “Grease”. Now: “The Matrix” and followups.
*When Harry Met Sally
Mrs. Doubtfire
As Good As It Gets

Red Dawn
Oh wait, that was an 80’s flashback.
“Urban Cowboy” is always on. I’ve seen it so many times I know the dialogue. Those silly “Bring it On” movies are always in rotation on USA.
Matrix Reloaded. Can’t figure out why episode 2 of the trilogy is always on, unlike episode 1 (less frequent, now) or episode 3 (never see this on tv).
Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammer and Lauren Holly
Wedding Crashers
Legally Blonde and its sequel
I think it’s FX that shows The Day After Tomorrow once a week or so. I see Lara Croft: Tomb Raider every time I scroll through the channels.
This was a few years back but I remember my wife complaining that “Fletch” seemed to be on Comedy Central nearly every weekend.
