I have a theory that cable tv only has about 20 movies that are shown over and over:

[hedgehog]

among them:

Pride & Prejudice - I swear it's on constantly; if you've already seen the LAw and Order, you can always watch Pride and Prejudice again.

Men in Black

Independence Day

Twister

[gbate]

1. Apollo 13.

[kiva]

2. The Mummy , all three parts.

[Orsino]

3. And it's the wrong Pride And Prejudice, too.

They could at least get that much right.

[Initech]

4. Tom Hanks infomercials "You've Got Mail" and "Cast Away".

[Pool Hall Ace]

5. Raising Helen -- adorable, perky Kate Hudson

Legally Blonde -- adorable, perky Reese Witherspoon

[tigereye]

6. Twister is always on! I always sit there to watch the "destruction"

(shame on me)

Roadhouse always seems to be on, too. Or Ghost.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. Worse still: AMC not only has just 6 westerns they rotate on Saturdays, but...

... they only show a handful of scenes from each. I can't tell you how many times I've tuned in to see Doug McClure ask to marry Jimmy Stewart's daughter or Ward Bond swearing in John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter for a posse.

8. I could watch either Jaws or Pirates of the Caribbean any time of the night or day

Not that I'd want to.

[Eyerish]

9. "Grease" is another one...

I've seen it played on CMT, VH1, Vh1 Classic & AbcFamily in the past 2 months. :banghead:

[MadBadger]

10. TBS used to show The Shawshank Redemption like once a week

sigh...those were the days.

[hedgehog]

11. Back in the Dark Ages, it used to be so expensive to buy an album

that when you bought a new one,you'd play it over and over again until you were sick of it.

[Arugula Latte]

12. "When Harry Met Sally"

She has to fake that orgasm a LOT!

[Mad_Dem_X]

13. TNT has "The Negotiator" on almost constant rotation

Now, don't get me wrong, I loves me some Kevin Spacey, and he looks yummy in that flick, but there's only so much of that movie I can take!

[Scurrilous]

14. My daughter watches Pride & Prejudice so much...

...I thought she had bought the DVD.

[Richardo]

15. A number of years ago a comedian said that HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On!"

Which made me laugh at the time.

[ThomWV]

16. Just to mention another one - Shawshank Redemption is on 24/7/365

If you've got 100 channels you could watch it 3 times at once.

[demigoddess]

17. lately it has been nothing but Arnold Swarzenegger!!!

your are right about only 20 though.

[supernova]

18. Ghostbusters I & II are always on

add them to the list.

[mitchum]

19. What About What About Bob?

it was just always on

[pokerfan]

20. That many?

I would have thought it was less.
