WPIX also aired Disney's Robin Hood. I have a DVD recording from WPIX's 1992 airing of that film.

Cool list Flix. I remember WPIX still playing movies after it became involved with The WB. Even after The WB went away it was still playing movies. I remember being sick one weekend (September 30th-October 1st) back in 2006, shortly after the end of the WB and the beginning of The CW. That Saturday they played Doug's 1st Movie.
I might be wrong because I was so young at the time, but I remember both Willow and Arachnophobia airing on the network back in the late 90's. *Insert funny signature here*

"Back To The Future", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "Supergirl", "Mr. Destiny", "Pulp Fiction", "The Last American Virgin", "The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad", "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell Of Fear" and "Dick Tracy" all aired on WPIX in the 90s.
Here are some videos of WPIX movie promos, three from YouTube and one from our former base RetroJunk, to help flesh out the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxx22RuwUK8 EDIT: For some reason, I'm having difficulty linking to YouTube. You can copy and paste the YouTube links if you want. |
