It can be a real challenge to find some of Fonda's old films on TV.
HeavenlyBlues has some tips for you to complete your collection.
If you have access to US cable channels, you should first go to TV Now and see what's there. They list his film schedule about a month in advance. You might also check out Speedvision's Lost Drive-In. Hosted by Bruce Dern (Fonda's co-star in The Wild Angels ), the show features a different movie each Saturday night. Their choices usually involve lots of car chases and bikes, and they did indeed run The Wild Angels recently. Other Fonda films that have shown up there include Dirty Mary Crazy Larry , which is hard to find on video, and Race With The Devil , with its unforgettable motorhome chase sequences. Easy Rider never seems to show up on TV, except we once saw it listed on a French-Canadian station and regret missing the chance to see this classic dubbed in French. Futureworld shows up regularly on space/sci fi channels.
Speaking of Canada, you could look up TMN -- The Movie Network, or MoviePix.
