This movie is never broadcast...anywhere!


I have never seen this movie since I saw it in-theater. No one broadcasts it. Is there some contractual obstacle or what?

Buy the DVD!

No one broadcasts it.

Crossroads used to be shown on cable pay movie channels (HBO, Cinemax, Showtime) in the years that followed its theatrical release. I remember seeing it numerous times ~1987 through ~1991. It popped up on pay movie channels a few times more recently, but not real often. Whether it was ever broadcast on network television or on shown on regular cable stations (TBS, TNT, etc.), I really don't know.

I've got some sort of free promotion thing this weekend on DirecTV and recorded it on station called SONYHD. It's on again 5/21 at 3:45pm.

I always think it's kind of stupid to have this white kid be a blues master (but then, there is Eric Clapton so there's that), but I've always loved it. Love Joe Morton as Scratch's assistant, and I've always been a fan of Joe Seneca.

I just watched it on SonyHD but this is the first time I've seen it in years.

I just got through watching it on SonyHD. Its one of those movies that not many people have heard of and it is almost 30 years old. Great movie though.

I am watching it on free-to-air SBS 2 in Australia.

SBS is an alternative, offbeat leader in all sorts of "ethnic" shows.

Best money the guvmint ever spent.
