In the Radio Times letters page this week there was a lady berating the schedulers for missing out on an opportunity on Mother's Day, claiming that they should have broadcast "romcoms, black and white weepies" and "musicals".
This sparked a germ of interest for me, because I think she's onto something.
Obviously Christmas is already sorted, with the classics like "Miracle on 34th Street", "It's a Wonderful Life" etc.
But what about celebrating other "special" days, for instance Father's Day? I guess the obvious choices would be war films, cool oldies like "The Italian Job" and Crime thrillers where some blonde shows her gash (probably this one in HD - and after the watershed).
Easter will have "Harvey", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Chocolat". [ - it's a religious festival? Are you sure?]
Some less-well known ones:- "International Talk Like a Pirate" day (pretty obvious this one - "Pirates of the Caribbean" and anything with Robert Newton in it), or how about IT Systems Administrators Day (easy - "Hackers" and the "Matrix" trilogy)?
Then there's my personal favourite - May the 4th - Star Wars Day.
Job's a good'un!
