Great camera work! I hope we get this in 2010!

I heartily agree with BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and MULHOLLAND DRIVE. But where are THE OTHERS and SAW?

Any film that teams Laurel & Hardy with Lupe Velez is a winner in my book.

The East Side Kids/Bowery Boys The Lone Wolf The Crime Doctor Boston **** Monogram Chans The 3 Mesquiteers (especially those with Tom Tyler) Mr. Wong Philo Vance @ Paramount Fu Manchu @ Paramount Thelma Todd shorts Laurel & Hardy shorts Hugh Herbert Columbia shorts Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers Universal serials

It still amazes when I encounter someone who thinks TCM can show any movie they want, whenever they want.

THE FALCON IN MEXICO had an interesting plot. And I loved the mask he wore near the end of the film.

It was part of Victor Jory's birthday tribute. Ya gotta love Victor Jory.

I enjoyed it. It played like a condensed serial.

You're right about MY WOMAN. And THE SILENT WITNESS should be THE SECRET WITNESS. My bad.

I gotta mention the Universal leading men too...Kent Taylor, Dick Foran, Robert Paige, Patric Knowles, Turhan Bey, David Bruce, et al.

I watched ANOTHER WORLD as a kid. It was famous at the time for the Alice-Steve-Rachel triangle.

Just from a practical standpoint, his other Movie Guide has about reach it's maximum size and in order to keep updating it with new films each year, he has to move older titles to the Classic Movie Guide to make room. I believe his choice of 1960 was more of an arbitrary cutoff point then a statement on the age of classics. 1960 somewhat coincides with the demise of the studio system. That works for me.

I like Conway more than Sanders.

Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide ends with 1960.

John Waters' FEMALE TROUBLE has a great Christmas sequence in the beginning of the film.

Here's 30 that haven't aired (yet) on TCM... ABOVE THE CLOUDS (33) ACQUITTED (29) ALIBI FOR MURDER (36) AS THE DEVIL COMMANDS (33) CARNIVAL (35) COCKTAIL HOUR (33) DEATH FLIES EAST (35) DECEPTION (32) ESCAPE FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND (35) FOG (33) I'LL FIX IT (34) LADY OF SECRETS (36) MASTER OF MEN (33) MEET NERO WOLFE (36) MILLS OF THE GODS (34) MY WOMAN (33) ROAMING LADY (36) SO THIS IS AFRICA (33) THE BACHELOR GIRL (29) THE DEFENSE RESTS (34) THE LONE WOLF RETURNS (35) THE MAN WHO LIVED TWICE (36) THE NIGHT CLUB LADY (32) THE NINTH GUEST (34) THE SILENT WITNESS (31) THE WOMAN I STOLE (33) TRAPPED BY TELEVISION (36) TRIAL MARRIAGE (29) WHIRLPOOL (34) WHITE LIES (35)

Some of us are not huge Christmas fans (Halloween is my favorite holiday). Crass commercialism and faux sentimentality are not my thing. However, Alistair Sims' A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a classic, sorely missed on TCM. I'm sure they would show it if they could. The 1938 MGM version is quite enjoyable, though. Christmas queens should buy their favorites on DVD. I'm sure they are all available. I love the Rathbone-Bruce Sherlock Holmes series. In fact, I bought the entire set on DVD several years ago. Another "must" is THE AVENGERS' "Too Many Christmas Trees" episode.I bought the Diana Rigg set several years ago too!

I think Bela gets more screen time than the other two. He certainly has the most interesting part! (I AM ELMER!)

> {quote:title=PrinceSaliano wrote:}{quote} > THE OTHERS and MULHOLLAND DRIVE BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN...still don't want any post-1970 movies on TCM, except maybe some cult/exploitation flicks on TCM Underground.

Lugosi fans don't take no for an answer.

Every title in this set is fun...Market Street, included.

Nice to see a Fox "B" on TCM.

YOU'LL FIND OUT is way underrated. I'm a big fan.
