Films On TV

Only one Badham movie gets the TCM spotlight, and it’s mine.

It's shown regularly on cable. Right now it's airing on Showtime, The Movie Channel and Flix. They often pair it up with Staying Alive

That's the way I feel about [italic]Kiss of Death.[/italic] For such a seminal film, with a breakout performance by the great Richard Widmark that was so spectacularly psychopathic that the nuttiest, most unhinged NY Mafia gangster, "Crazy" Joe Gallo, modeled himself entirely on it, you almost never see it on TCM or other classic movie channels. TCM screened it regularly until around the mid-'90s, after which it seemed to have been dropped into a volcano.

R2 - OP here. Thanks for your suggestions. Should've posted yesterday. It was on Movie Channel at 2:15 this morning. Will keep looking :)

What film is broadcast most: Twister, National Treasure, Independence Day, or the Harry Potter marathon?

R2 beat me to it. SNF has been on Showtime and on demand lately. Sometimes you have to do a little detective work. Roku, even more so than IMDb, is really great, when you do a search, on telling you the many paid and free channels a movie may be on. Plus YouTube has a LOT of movies.

Unless it's in their extensive library (mostly WB, RKO and old MGM stuff), TCM has to pay to air films. So they naturally don't program the costly movies as often as the free ones.
