  2. Sans Fin, I loved the National Day themes, Gene Tierney and the Spotlight on Cats, Dogs, Bats and Snakes. I also loved the theme of "Peculiar People" and yes, I would prefer that to sitting in a cold, dark room. LP, I loved the "Putting on a Rotten Show" theme, the AFI villain spotlight, and the Good Neighbor Policy theme as it featured one of my faves: The Three Caballeros. I also loved the spotlight on Ancient Mammoth Computers, because I always loved when a movie is based around having to use one of those giant computers. Overeasy, I loved the selection of Edmond O'Brien for SOTM. I also love Edmond O'Brien and actually went on a binge of his films last year. I agree that he's rather unremarkable looking, but I do find him attractive in A Girl, A Guy, and A Gob. I also loved the spotlights on Samuel Fuller, Lizabeth Scott, and Warner Bros. B Movies. Stevo, I loved the selection of Dana Andrews for SOTM and I hope that TCM heeds this recommendation. I also loved the Ed Wood birthday tribute. Finally, I enjoyed the spotlight on National Parks and Mortimer Brewster as a Guest Programmer. Athos, I loved Linda Darnell for SOTM, I know that we've had an ongoing thread about that very same idea for years now on the boards. I loved the "A Little Funny in the Head" theme, especially for the inclusion of Play Misty for Me which I just discovered last year during my Valentine's Day "Obsessive Love" theme. That movie was fantastic. I also loved the spotlights on Lee Remick and Ida Lupino. Cinema Int'l, I loved the selection of Valley of the Dolls as an Essential. This movie is essential in anyone's life, imo. I enjoyed the theme on Noir bad guys and femme fatales. I also liked the Vista Vision spotlight and the pre-code parade theme. --- Great schedules everyone. They were all fantastic and I hope TCM takes all of them into consideration for future schedules.

  13. "Produced on a shoestring budget of $75,000, Killer's Kiss (1955) was Stanley Kubrick's second feature but the first one to demonstrate his emerging style and technical virtuosity as a filmmaker. Although the plot is straight out of a pulp fiction novel - a second-rate boxer rescues a dancer from a lecherous nightclub owner with underworld connections - Kubrick cleverly exploits the film noir aspects of the material through his evocative cinematography; flophouses, cheap restaurants, penny arcades, and other now vanished remnants of the Broadway section around Times Square serve as a seedy backdrop to the story. The film is also distinguished by Kubrick's use of flashbacks, nightmare sequences shot on negative film stock, and dynamic editing techniques ............. see: https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/22832/killers-kiss#articles-reviews?articleId=33909

  14. The Manchurian Candidate (1962) TCM On Demand 10/10 A Korean war hero (Laurence Harvey) is brainwashed into being an assassin by the Communists. First time I watched this all the way through in years, it is still one of the greatest thrillers I have ever seen. So many great scenes and performances. Frank Sinatra in one of his best as Harvey's superior officer who is plagued by nightmares after the war. The brainwashing scenes are brilliantly done, I don't want to say too much about them so others will be encouraged to watch this. Khigh Deigh has some wickedly funny moments as the main Korean brainwasher. There is one of the first martial arts fights in a American film between Sinatra and Henry Silva (playing a Korean). It is one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen. Angela Lansbury nearly steals the film as Harvey's cold hearted mother. James Gregory plays her henpecked red baiting Senator husband. Janet Leigh plays Sinatra's love interest and they have some of the weirdest dialogue when they first meet. The climax is a shocker.

  31. My problem with this comment is that it indicates a paradox in thought. For what we may really know, Poitier may have been drawn to many of his roles because they WEREN'T of "Aggressive, thuggish" black characters, which both then and now might have seemed as negative stereotypes. THEN the complaints today would be in a different light. Like it's almost as if you're complaining that Poitier's "non-aggressive, non thuggish" black characters were some kind of Hollywood deception. That the truth was that black people were the opposite of how Poitier portrayed them in his movies. It's like when Poitier's character in GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER says to his character's Father, he could almost be talking to you when he says( and a favorite line in the flick)-- "You still think of yourself as a colored man. I think of myself, as a MAN!" Your "Oreo" comment seems too, to indicate a belief that all black men should be seen as all behaving identically. As in a way that white people can identify as "black behavior". Like not only do they all LOOK alike, but ACT alike as well. For shame. Sepiatone

  34. I just re watched this again, I saw it several years ago since I am a Kubrick completist. The real NYC locations are fascinating to see and while it drags a bit in the middle the final mannequin factory fight scene is worth waiting for.

  38. Being a normal human adult, I don't think I need to be "educated" about films that were made decades ago. They were made to be entertainment, not a political statement. They are a record of the times and can't be judged through the eyes of the 21st century. I am sure TCM thinks I am an uneducated rube who needs to be led around by the nose and needs these things explained to me in small words and short sentences, but I can just as easily turn TCM off. I will not be lectured to by the likes of Hollywood media. Lucky for me I own most of these movies and can watch them any time I like, without being told to watch out for the bad parts.

  43. Desperate ploys for publicity. And trying to justify it as if they are doing the public some sort of community service. Disgraceful. Thumbs down TCM.
