I still go through the listings, but only for a couple of particular channels now. Rest of it finding out about and then finding on the 'tube or a DVD.
London Live, suprisingly, show all manner of great British oddities and rare films amongst the utter shit they usually show. Talking Pictures TV - finally managed to get a copy of the 1948 version of Casbah from them. Had been after that for YEARS.

When I was 16/17 and really into film, channel 4 used to show really great foreign movies late at night. I guess they use film4 for that now but to be honest I don't have the time/attention span to sit in front of the TV at a specific time to watch something.
One that I remember that I really enjoyed was "Harry, he's here to help", a Hitchcock style thriller about an obsessive ex-classmate (maybe) who just turns up in a couples life one day and the tension slowly ratchets up. It looks like the whole film is on youtube but without subtitles, if anyone speaks French.
