Default movies that should be banished from cable tv forever..

it seems there are a group of movies that turn up on certain cable tv stations over and over...i hate them almost as much as i do car and truck and furniture ads..thank God for DVD-R and NetFlix..feel free to add to the list.. ( I actually enjoyed some of these many, many years ago...LOL )

i am sure they show these over and over and over because they CAN..

Urban Cowboy
Smokey and the Bandit
any Terminator movies
Predator
Beastmaster
Saturday Night Fever
Caddyshack
Pretty Woman
Kelly's Heroes
The Dirty Dozen

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is near the top. I don't like the rocky movies at all. Most musicals are not at the top either.

I say this,

We have had Dish Network for almost 7 years now vice the cable ( of which we cant get here anyhow, to far out ).

Our Dish bill is right around 70.00 a month now, and what are we paying for ?

TO WATCH THE SAME MOVIES OVER AND OVER AND OVER on all the channels.

Seems to me with all these high faluting college kids growing up and getting into the "cyber age " they would come up with some new movies all the time.

Your list Mort, I AGREE WITH ALL OF THEM !!

My main channels are the cooking channel, TV Land ( of which now they are showing the rewards four or five times a weeks ) that sucks, but I really like the Western Channel with all the oldies on it.,

BUT, Ifn you dont have cable or Satelite, your really lost, cause most of the UHF channels here in the Dallas area are all spanish.

enough......

just thought about something else...is it one of the Turner channels that makes a big deal out of showing a fairly new movie ( last 5 years or so ) like 3 times ( 3 diff. days ) at the same time over the weekend ? Sheesh.

Cool Larry

No more showings on TV:

Jaws one through whatever.
Rocky one through whatever.
Any movie with Barbara Streisand.
All movies with Jane Fonda, except Barbarella.
Rap movies where English is definitely a second language.
1950 movies where the women, including many of the mothers, are virgins.

I like Dirty Dozen. There are a few scenes that still crack me up.
I love Kelly?s Hero?s. They had a loud speaker attached to one of the tanks. We had a loud speaker attached to one of our APC?s. I can relate.

The rest of your list is solid. There are a few movies on the list I?ve never seen. Urban Cowboy, for example, just never seemed like anything one would want to watch.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Reeb,
We get about 130 channels on our cable TV. We have six 24 hour news networks, The History Channel, The International History Channel, The Military History Channel, five Discovery channels, ESPN, NESN (New England Sport Channel) and the weather channel. Seldom watch anything else (except during football season).

Our bill is about $115 but that includes cable for 3 TV?s and the cable hook up for two very high speed computers. You can?t smoke in any public buildings, including bars in this state and 80% of my friends no longer smoke, so it?s worth every penny, well, in my eyes it is.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Maybe we should add "Psycho" and "The Birds".

They've been on here three times this week already. :re:
