I just watched Children of the Corn (1984) straight through for probably the first time ever. However, I’ve probably seen the movie a ton, but just in chunks. Back in the 1990s it seemed like this would always be on some channel. TBS or TNT maybe?
Also, The Blue Lagoon. I guess they figured why bother with weekend programming when enough people would tune in for Brooke Shields running around scantily clad.

Career Oppertunities-I saw this on one of the Turner channels at least 4 times a month for years.
Smokey and the Bandit-TBS aired this almost as much as my next choice.
Beastmaster-HBO use to stand for "Hey Beastmaster is On!" Beastmaster was like the second highest rating getting movie on TBS. Behind Gone with the wind. So TBS aired Beastmaster very very often.

If we count cable, "Three O'Clock High" was ALWAYS on HBO.

Comedy Central used to air the heck out of Stewardess School, Rock & Roll High School Forever, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Up In Smoke, and Kentucky Fried Movie. I also remember Spaceballs used to air a lot on cable back in the 90s. Nowadays, it seems like the National Lampoon's Vacation Quadrilogy is always on some channel.

Back when the Superstation was still the Superstition, there was a movie I've seen the beginning 5 minutes of at least a dozen times and can't find on DVD... "Winter Kill", snowy resort town, middle of night, someone shoots a woman with a shotgun and she falls thru a huge window, and Andy Griffith is the sheriff.

Then that compelled me to find the VHS of RnRHSF, luckily I did so cheap at one of our video stores. I had weird obsessions with weird movies.

I remember "Batteries Not Included" being a regular on the local NYC syndicated channels on the weekends when I was kid in the very late 80's and early 90's.

We always called TBS The Beastmaster Station! I have a friend who was named after Red Sonja, only she pronounces it like it's spelled with a J sound. They also loved to show Poltergeist and the Star Wars movies over and over.
