Why is this movie NEVER shown???


They could AT LEAST show this movie on HBO or even a regular cable channel. I don't understand it. This is a fantastic movie and it is NEVER on television nor can it be bought for a reasonable price.

I know! I haven't seen this movie in ages!

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way!

Vision TV sometimes airs it.

I love the movie too, but you have to understand millennials. This film is about the ghost of a woman who died in the 20s interacting with a couple from the 80s. The millennials have no use for anything made before the year 2000, and in this case you are talking about a film in which present day is 30 years ago and "the not too distant past" is 90 years ago. They just can't relate. It's like Netflix taking down a bunch of comedies from the 90s recently because they are "too old" and replacing them with a bunch of reality show junk, the existence of which is why I fled to Netflix in the first place.

It sucks?

I want to see this again. I loved it! Hello, Netflix! Pay attention!!

I'm a millennial and I really enjoyed this film back when I first saw it as a teenager. I think the reason it's not played often is simply because it doesn't have the reputation of being a "classic". 30 - 35 year old movies aren't replayed so much unless there's a cult following or sentimental attachment for the masses.
