My understanding is that movies are distributed in packages, a few good ones and a bunch of ... less desirable selections. These bundles have a time limit on them. A tv network will only have a limited budget for movies, and will buy the time alotment for a particular bundle, and play the same handlful of movies over and over again, trying to squeeze out all the programming time they paid for in the distributor's contract.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

I watch little TV apart from movies, documentaries and the occasional music or comedy show.
Certainly the same movies do get thrashed again and again on Freeview digital TV. It's frustrating because a) I don't live near a DVD rental store b) cinemas have no atmosphere or sense of occasion these days and c) I refuse to subscribe to one of Murdoch's movie channels.
Most of the movies I watch these days are ones I buy on the recommendation of movie-buff friends.
'Legally Blonde' does seem to get shown on TV quite a bit, even over here...

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.
