[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Bonita Granville or Anne Jeffreys

[whats the one film your dying TCM to show..and it never does..]

THE HIDDEN HAND (Warner Bros., 1942)

[THE LAST WARNING (1929)]

I'm glad to see others hopping on THE LAST WARNING bandwagon. Perhaps they can squeeze it in between SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and CASABLANCA.

[Silents & early talkies coming 6/15 from Warner Archives]

Where the hell is RETURN OF THE TERROR (1934)?

[4-BIG STRIPES FOR AIRING "PVT. RYAN!!!"]

How about SHAVING RYAN'S PRIVATES on TCM Underground?

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Bess Flowers!

[Saving Private Ryan and Other Modern Films]

Any film made after the mid-60s that is A) available for rental; available for purchase; and C) available on other cable channels does _not_ belong on TCM.

[whats the one film your dying TCM to show..and it never does..]

THE BAT (1926) and THE BAT WHISPERS (1930).

Well, the "Big Tent" approach is not working for me.

[Jason Moore to Direct Musical Film Remake of Valley Girl]

And when can we expect TCM to show VALLEY GIRL? Perhaps the current regime will give us a month spotlighting the films of 1983.

Amen to that! February, June and August suck...looking forward to July.

[Which is the best "Jungle Jim" movie?]

I'm concerned that many programming decisions are being made by a 22-year old fresh out of college.

[4-BIG STRIPES FOR AIRING "PVT. RYAN!!!"]

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN does not belong on TCM.

Ruth Chatterton

[Saving Private Ryan and Other Modern Films]

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN does not belong on TCM.

[whats the one film your dying TCM to show..and it never does..]

JOURNEY'S END (1930) would be perfect TCM fare.

[What is a Classic Film]

"Classic" is subjective. One might define it as any film made during the studio system (roughly, 1960 and prior). I, however, prefer films from 1945 & prior. I cannot call any film made during the 1970s and forward as "classic". If it were up to me, no post mid-60s titles would be shown on TCM. The sole exception might be some cheesy 70s exploitation flicks on TCM Underground. I would insist upon more pre-Codes and B-movies each month...and I would definitely eliminate "31 Days of Oscar". As if February wasn't dreary enough, only Academy award nominees are inflicted upon us each year.

[Which is the best "Jungle Jim" movie?]

The next time a theme month is imposed, perhaps it will feature lotsa pre-Codes or B-movies. February, June and August are bland and predictable. The popularity of this particular thread indicates that not all viewers are ga-ga over frequent showings of CASABLANCA, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis and John Wayne.

[KUDOS! FOR A SPECTACULAR "GREAT DIRECTORS MONTH!"]

Amen to that. And a Michael Curtiz fest with only one pre-Code?

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Dickie Moore

[TCM's Morbid Bongs]

****?

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Madge Bellamy

[Does TCM Listen To Our Movie Suggestion?]

Re the quintet of Columbia Bs scheduled for July 10th...I've requested probably four of 'em.

[& HOW COULD YOU NEGLECT: EDWARD D. WOOD, JR.???]

I agree! I was hoping some B-directors would have been added to the mix...Roy William Neill, Erle C. Kenton, Charles Barton, Charles Lamont and, of course, William Beaudine.
