1) The Godfather ( or part 2 and 3 for that matter )
Why is the greatest film ever made never shown on mainstream tv?
Is there some sort of contractual obligation that this film is never to be shown?

BBC used to have Godfather Godfather 2. They even edited it so it was in chronological order. Was on Sky at christmas so I guess Murdoch owns the rights now.
Life of Brian has only been on a few times in the past 10 years.

Dont think I've ever seen bladerunner on normal TV either.
The Blues Brothers was repeated ad nauseum just before Christmas on E4.
they stopped showing the Towering Inferno after 9/11 becasue intitially it seemed a bit sick and then realised that fact has beaten fiction with it
Love Actually, Father of the Bride and Notting Hill are rarely on TV.
10 seconds earlier, scamp and I wouldn't have put that! :)
I saw the film Amin about 25 years ago at the pictures. never seen it on tv or even video.
Any Laurel & Hardy film, always used to be on the telly when I were a lad (in the 80s) but never see them now.
Of course Roots was a mini series rather than a film.
They used to have a few good ones, there was Roots, then rich man poor man, then north and south, don't think they have been repeated very often.

Yes it had Nick Nolte, the Jordache (?) family, it was very good.

Salo 120 days of Sodom. Pasolini 1976.
Not surprised its not on the telly really. Was banned here on release and is still banned in Australia I believe.
Great film, saw it a couple of years ago at an artsy cinema in Islington.
Would put off your tea though.

The original cinema version of To Sir With Love
On the rare occasions that it's shown on terestrial TV now, all the scenes to do with the love affair between Sidney Poitier and Suzy Kendall have been cut out.
As a result, Suzy Kendall hardly appears in the film even though she's billed as the co-star. Bizarre!

Reyes, you don't know what your missing, seriously.
I'm actually jealous that you haven't yet watched The Godfather(s), would love to watch it for the first time again, an outstanding film. The second is even better in my opinion.

The Natural (1984) ... Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall ... great baseball movie ... never, ever, seen it on terrestrial ... :o(

Clockwork Orange was shown last year, it was first shown a few years back when Channel 4 did a censorship theme, I think they showed Exorcist for the first time then as well
