This is a public forum I believe. Everyone can voice their opinion on how they feel. Let me say this we may not agree with another's opinion, but we can comment in a nice way. When I first joined, the very first post I wrote had an unkind reply. I'm angry about the unkind replies above. I also agree that TCM show films that are not classics. There are of course good films from the 60s and 70s. Maybe beyond still no need to be mean.

Thank you for watching this first & sharing your impressions. I was intrigued by it's description, seemed like it may be kind of trippy like HAUSU '77 but with weird Czech sensibilities. DVR'd. Last night I watched the Criterion disk of PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET '53. I realize I'm probably the last person on this board to have seen it, so glad there's still something new (old) out there for me to discover. Starring the forever glib Richard Widmark, I knew this would be worth watching. But this was my first intro to Jean Peters-wowie-was she a dish! Notable that every outfit she wore in this movie was white from head to toe. The story is told almost documentary style, one black & white scene after another showing you everything, even the character's thoughts. Widmark hilariously plays a pickpocket named Skip who while riding a crowded subway takes a woman's wallet right out of her purse. This is really well shown between quick cuts of his hands and face, misdirecting attention. This exact scene is shown later but with Skip taking a gun out of someone's shirt holster. Well there was more than money in the wallet, the gal was unknowingly delivering secret information-secret only to her. The cops, the recipient, the sender...ALL want those film negatives! And Skip is smart enough to figure that out and take advantage of the fact. This is a classic noir and a great one for introducing anyone to classic film. It has a dark, dirty feel to it. Poor Peters gets slapped, punched, knocked out, shot & passionately kissed and comes out beautiful & sassy (wearing white!) She reminded me very much of Linda Darnell. Widmark sneers, smirks, giggles-his typical bag of tricks. He's one of those actors (like Robert Ryan) whom you're 100% aware you're watching him "act" while still enhancing the story with his unique flavor ham. You cannot resist his glee in this part which he seems to glide through. Widmark was pretty young & handsome here and his scenes embracing & kissing Peters are smoldering hot. A rare larger part for great Thelma Ritter, she gets to show her stuff-finally-not just a line or two. She puts it all out there on film. The stunt work, props, the sets, the lighting...all were outstanding. This movie's got a good ending-one of those great, closing lines with punch too!

Surprised at the slower pace? Yes, I was, but I meant in terms of rhythm, not stage demeanor. The Stones are notorious for rushing through their sets. For years I'd heard that Keith was the guilty party for that, that he would "turn the beat around." I think now that Charlie was, in fact, the reason for it. He wanted to get back to the hotel to call his wife. Yes they are old men, and Keith certainly looks it, but Mick at 78 could probably kick both our a$$e$ at once. I know he keeps a solid workout regimen and eats very well. He never appeared to lack for energy. As for Keith, he was asked recently what his workout regimen is like. He replied," I play guitar for the Rolling Stones. That's my workout." I notice they are spacing the dates out with three or four days in between so they are taking some between-gig recovery time. I don't blame them. With the opening video montage of Charlie, Ronnie's elaborate bows during the band member introductions, Keith's sentimental renderings of "Connection" and "Slipping Away," and Mick's reminiscing of prior visits to Dallas, I got the very distinct feeling that they were saying, without saying it, "Goodbye."

it's so sad what the once greatest channel has become....the "new tcm"....could easily be named "stab loyal viewers in the back" channel...the line-up of movies is not "classic" and very weak...yes you folks are the bartender but to serve your customers rot-gut is criminal....have you lost your good taste in great classic movies?..why are you trying to appeal to a younger generation with no taste,little character and who were weaned on MTV and cell phones....As Lauren Bacall has said "if you've seen a good movie---you've seen an old move"...not 60s,70s,80s,90s junk your showing..please go back to the OLD TCM--these newer movies are unwatchable!!!!

Anyone recognize the statue on the back cabinet in this scene from Conflict?

LILYPOND, I am in agreement about this allure of a "death culture"; it could be argued that both organized religion and secular humanism have their own versions/interpretations of what that phrase actually means and I could expand on these thoughts but don't want to unduly alienate, divide or open up a hornet's nest! Yes, Halloween was fun back in the day, wasn't it? Like you, I don't have that feeling anymore, although I was joyful when one of our public television stations last week ran IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN. Made me really feel like a kid again.

"From smokey chimney pots..." Seems somewhat a psychedelic predating of the following 1968 soundtrack by about a year, SweetSue:

Yeah, I'm stuck in the middle somewhere. I can clearly see the people older than me unhappy about post-1960 films being aired, but I also know kids who would fall asleep in three seconds (or put their brains to sleep in a similar amount of time by getting out their phones) if they had to watch a movie that came out before, I don't know, 2015. There are movies I love from all eras, and I don't mind increasing diversity in the films presented so much.

I must say, these kind of 'Newbie' poster rants are pretty funny. We see this commonly on the Forum. Someone signs up simply to b-i-t-c-h and moan ( 😤 ) about this, that or the other. I find it amusing to read these posts. 😜

Here is a bio from IMDB and I agree with it. I am not a fan but movies needed actors like him (they still do), on a sport team he would be an important utility player like in hockey or baseball, he was a good stage actor and this is good enough for me.He was not picked up by a talent agent at a gas station pumping gas... Some actors are better than others, I like Gary Cooper, seen over 60 films by him but I keep seeing a very wooden actor. Suts for Smith is a fair and good choice. From IMDB He was one of Hollywood's more interesting curiosities. Kent Smith, by most standards, had the makings of a topflight '40s and '50s film star--handsome, virile, personable, highly dedicated, equipped with a rich stage background--and no slouch in the talent department. For some reason all these fine qualities did not add up to stardom, which would remain elusive in a career that nevertheless covered almost five decades. Today, Smith's name and face have been almost completely forgotten. His solid body of work on stage, screen and TV certainly defies such treatment. Perhaps his looks weren't distinctive enough, perhaps he was overshadowed once too often by his more popular female screen stars, perhaps there was a certain lack of charisma or sex appeal for audiences to latch onto, or perhaps a lack of ego or even an interest in being a "name" star. Whatever the reason, this purposeful lead and second lead's resume deserves more than a passing glance.

I would suspect that anyone, including Joan Crawford, who refers to herself in the third person is showing definite signs of diva-hood.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If TCM is really trying to appeal to "younger audiences" they need to just keep what they air classic. I (20) and my sisters (17 &15) watch TCM for the old stuff (1920s to 70s). There is really no other channel we have access to for this. The viewing of these classic films educates us and allows us to connect with the past in a way that makes us reflect on the present. I've been watching TCM since I was 15 and I do find myself viewing it a little less now because the programming just kinda seems all over the place and I haven't been seeing a ton of films I would normally watch, but that's just me and I am just one out of millions so what do I know. I can't really bash TCM because they did inspire my love for classic film thus inspiring my love for fashion and music of the past and for that I am grateful, but perhaps they should take into consideration everyone's views to try and find some sort of happy medium whatever that may be. I don't like seeing anyone unhappy and I sure hope TCM doesn't as well, but it seems hard to please everyone in a situation like this. Super unrealistic, but it would honestly be the best thing in the world if there were separate channels dedicated to each decade.

That brings to mind the current trend of amateur "reaction" videos on YT, where people of various and sundry demographics are shown something out-of-group for the first time (often music videos), with real time picture-in-picture visual responses. It's great that you and your son can quote movies like that!

The Tenth Man, 1988 Stars Anthony Hopkins, Kristin Scott Thomas, Derek Jacobi Based on a novel by Graham Greene British Mystery, Thriller 1 hr 35 min. Hopkins plays a wealthy lawyer in occupied France 1941 who finds himself caught in a random street roundup by Nazis. It comes as a shock that the old rules of law don't apply anymore, and the men in his cell are informed that three of their choosing will be shot in the morning. He draws a short straw but makes a deal... Full movie, a fantastic find. 8.5/10

It's interesting to me, this latest Then Meets Now promotional filler that TCM has been running for a couple of weeks now, I think. In case you haven't seen it, there are clips of older movies which are followed by various reaction shots of a contemporary audience. Ok, so far, in that this is an attempt to link younger generations to movies of an age that the kids probably don't know much about. Most of the reaction shots are people in their 20's or a little bit younger perhaps -- I could be missing some though. But there are a couple that stand out to me. I'm thinking of two little kids -- maybe 5 or 7 years old -- watching "Wizard of Oz" and "Royal Wedding." Now what fascinates me is that we don't see with whom the kids are watching these movies. Are they in a room with their parents? Grandparents? Friend's house? How have these two little tykes stumbled on TCM as a source for classic movies? Did a five-year-old really leaf through his tattered copy of TV Guide to find "Royal Wedding" playing at 3:00 am Thursday morning on Turner Classic Movies? I guess what's intriguing to me about all this so far is that TCM is assuming the audience is just there ready with popcorn and unbridled enthusiasm for a good old cinematic story-hour. Speaking from personal experience, we have a 27-year-old son who was raised on movies from the TCM classic era. He still has a pretty good knowledge of them, though his main viewing these days is more contemporary stuff. And yet, he and I can quote entire scenes from certain movies that he grew up on. Yeah! It's Fun! And it bugs the heck out of his mother! So I'm wondering how this new push by TCM is going to play out. Who, exactly, in his life is going to introduce Fred Astaire's dancing on the ceiling to a kid so that the little guy can laugh out loud with astonishment and wonder?

EASY pass for me. Sepiatone

Saturday, November 6/7 1:45 The Andromeda Strain (1971). The planet is threatened by a virus pandemic. But was it man made?

I agree about Smith but Iam happy you appreciate McCrea a highly underated actor especially on these boards and he was a fabulous human being.

3. Top Cat, voiced by Arnold Stang, was based on Phil Silvers. 4. Fred Flintstone was based on Jackie Gleason's character from The Honeymooners.

THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS RUN AND RUN from Forever Now album from 1982,a great record one of my favorite songs of the era. They finaly played Montreal in 1984! Richard Butler was a fantastic frontman, mesmerizing singer,I was a heavy smoker then but I was impressed by the huge amounts of cigarettes Butler was going through during the show.He was moving so well on stage.,One of the best ones I have seen on stage and I have seen many. I just looked on the internet and the P FURS are on tour now and selling out! (but not playing here though) They released their first new album in 29 years in 2020,t hey had a sold out UK tour and doing again big halls in the UK next spring.Butler is a good painter and married an actress just a year ago,he looked very fit and still smoked... I stopped and we are the same age wish him well. I want to correct my statement I was reading a 2020 interview by Richard Butler and he 'corretced me' : “The rasp really comes from when I push my voice to certain notes at volume,” admits the 64-year-old Furs frontman. “I don't even smoke! I haven't smoked for years and years; it has nothing to do with cigarettes. I think people tie me in with cigarettes because I used to smoke onstage all the time, but I haven't smoked for a long, long time. It's nothing to do with that.”

Weird and wonderful

Maybe "loyal viewers" need to broaden their horizons a bit. While most of the movies I love come from the 30s, 40s and 50s (30 yrs), I think there are a ton of those that are barely watchable. With all the programming time they need to fill, it can't all be 5-star flicks. You've got to hone in on the stuff you like, but keep your eyes open for different things. Ever try a silent film, or a foreign film? You can't possibly believe that nothing worthwhile has been made after 1960! This is 2020-- that's 60 yrs, for heaven sake. I'll bet you'd prefer they prop up ol' Bob too, rather than this new crop of hosts. Tough, time marches on. I don't necessarily like the new graphics (yet), but I'll continue to trust TCM, and value the info passed on by the hosts. (And all those cool little features, like "What a Character". No reason not to show "junk" like Raging Bull, or Silence of the Lambs, or Unforgiven, or a hundred other films. I also lament the younger generations' disdain for movies made before they were born. All you can do there is try to spread the love, maybe they'll catch on eventually. But you're just as bad as they are-- only in the other direction! It's still the greatest channel.

He was so distinguished in later years. I've liked him in everything I've seen him in. Here he is above in his recurring role as "Edgar Scoville", the prominent industrialist that David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) manages to recruit to the cause of exposing the aliens in "The Invaders". When well cast, I think he was ideal as a sort of all-American type who could be either reassuring in his "normalcy", or interesting for the perceived bafflement or corruption that lay beneath that unruffled surface. I often like "bland", or what's perceived as bland, ha. Love Joel McCrea, and to a lesser extent, character players like Simon Scott and others who bring a similar quality....

Not that it matters in practical terms, but I see it mostly as a genre rather than a visual style. Of course when you add in certain film/plot sequences that points to it being more than just a visual style. I've seen some of those early French noirs and most are about the criminal life, even if there are no private detectives. I notice that Eddie often talks about the film noir movement when discussing American noir films of the 1940s and 1950s as if there were a group of writers, actors, and directors who consciously decided to make a certain kind of film. That doesn't seem to jibe with the studios of the time concentration on the bottom line. They may have recognized that this type of film could be profitable, but I doubt there was any noir movement under the studio system.

Jitterbugs (1943) Tap (1989) Bop Girl Goes Calypso (1957) Don't Knock the Twist (1962) The Last Waltz (1978)...no waltzing...

Kent Smith had a lengthy and highly respected career in the theater, playing the classics as well as modern plays. In addition to Shaw's Candida with Katherine Cornell and Mildred Natwick, he played in Saint Joan with Siobhan McKenna; as Bolingbroke in Richard II (Maurice Evans was Richard); he originated the role of Rudd Kendall (played onscreen by Gig Young) in the Broadway premiere of Old Acquaintance with Jane Cowl and Peggy Wood; and in countless other productions. https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/kent-smith-60413

Yeah, sorry, that was the only clip I could find. Spelling is not a strong point on YouTube.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) Czech New Wave surrealist fantasy horror film. Very experimental. Took me 30 minutes to really get into it and was fearing I would have to force myself to finish but eventually a plot was revealed although it's very vaugue. SPOILER Grandparent vampires seem to die old, rejuvenate to youthful appearances and get old again and get killed on a repeated cycle. Some cool choice of shots and the costumes/makeup are good- can't believe no one has ripped off the vampire with hairy ears yet. Plenty of shots of a sexy vampiress in pin-up lingerie stripping to seduce victims to keep me interested 🤩but i wish i knew more about what was actually happening. The ending of SPOILER having all the cast dance in a field didn't resolve anything for me. I'd recommend.

- funny song from PAJAMA GAME

You've missed listing one of my favorites of Balsam's roles, CG: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three 1974 (...gesundheit)

Sepia, I scrolled around a bit and found that thread, I think on page 3 or 4. Here's the link to it: https://forums.tcm.com/topic/268216-popular-movies-that-you-hate/

Thanks. I learn almost all my news by listening to the radio driving to and from work (I very rarely watch TV news) and heard about this earlier in the day, but I will read.

A Guy Named Joe (1944)

William Talman was in "The Hitchhiker" with Frank Lovejoy.

Happy centennial birthday to Charles Dennis Buchinsky (Charles Bronson), born on November 3rd, 1921 in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania!

Wes Anderson is my favorite modern filmmaker. I love everything he's made with Spike Lee's movies a close second.

OUT OF THE PAST (1947)

I think this is my favorite of the multiple monsters films in the Universal series. One of the best things is Elena Verdugo as the gypsy girl. She is feisty and cute and brings a lot of energy to the part. She is involved in a strange triangle with Daniel the hunchback falling in love with her, but she only has eyes for the Wolf Man. I have read some interviews with her where she says she really enjoyed working on this film. Since she was a blonde she wore a brunette wig to play the gypsy. She called Lon Chaney a "lovely friendly man" and J Carroll Naish as someone she knew from her first picture Down Argentine Way (1940). She recalled "I simply loved him. He helped, he supported, he gave so much." It shows in the film, she has some nice, tender scenes with both actors.
