Was wondering the other day why this movie never seems to be on TV, then over the weekend see that AMC was showing it Sunday night...during the Super Bowl, for its 30 year anniversary.

I imagine they will play it again tho but ya had to think that wasnt the best time!


ANyone know why the movie is rarely on TV?

Really. Probably on AMC again as part of their 30th anny.

I have never seen that movie ever being shown on regular cable or tv, and always kinda wondered why.

What exactly do you think that ET was on earth doing? Watch the first part of the movie again. He was not here to discover bit sized candy.

No, it's been every year. You just might not watch enough tv. You should get permission then maybe you will see it like the rest of the country.
