Beginning February 1st, Turner Classic Movies will air 360 "Oscar winner and nominee" movies, 3 per evening, until the Academy Awards (which airs March 5th). All of them are uncut and commercial free.
Of course, the criteria to qualify as an "Oscar winner or nominee" is pretty open; they're not talking all "best picture" noms here, but including any movie that was nominated in any category. Which means that Benji and The Karate Kid are among of the selections. (I will be DVR'ing Benji, because I haven't seen that in years.)
But there's more than enough great films to jam up your DVR; see TCM's list here. It's a bit frustrating that they don't have a single page with the complete listings to link to. Entertainment Weekly magazine has a great pull-out page with all the movies, times and air dates.
There are quite a few movies on my "to watch" lists, which is really bad considering it's also sweeps month and the Olympics will be on, too. Good thing I have this new TV, since I'll be parked in front of it for all of February.
