There used to be so many exciting films on over Easter.

Now, there’s repeats of programmes on ITV and general garbage.

I recall fondly settling down to the Easter film - am I the only one ??

Used to love all the old epic films, even the religious ones, maybe that’s just my age showing

Maybe it’s a case of rose-tinted specs, but film selections on TV over holiday periods did seem to be better ‘back in the day’ than they are now.

I used to love to watch a biblical epic at Easter, some of them went on for ages.

The Robert Powell Jesus of Nazareth is on Sky Arts later, if anyone is interested.

That is because it used to take about 4 years for a movie to be shown on the telly.

Not at all. I think the Easter weekend was quite sacred in that no shops were open so all you had was TV. I used to enjoy all the biblical films when I was a kid.

I'd go and visit my family. My grandparents usually had some weird experiment going, things they weren't sure would work but wanted to try out on all the grandkids at once. Piñatas I remember from being about ten, they were halted until my brother could be trusted with big smacky sticks

Big icing sugar cream buns that left a sticky mess all over your face, really retro decorated cupcakes that my grandfather would sneak onto your plate while you weren't looking. Trampoline overlooking the ocean.

I genuinely would not know

Easter has always meant time off

Thus from school it meant playing in the woods and water

At work it's meant going somewhere with sea or mountains and avoiding people

Now it means

Making cake climbing trees and

FUCKING PLANKING

Gosh Do people go to TV for their film entertainment still

I remember when I was a kid I seen this Disney movie over Easter that I really liked - (Song of the South )

I always fondly remembered it, but had never seen or heard of it again until recently when Disney+ started up. Turns out it was so racist it's been blocked in every country since the late 80s. Somehow got shown on Irish telly in the 90s :-/
