> Although goldensilents may be right on the letter of the law, to me, a film is different from personal property in one important way. Your own dinette set is not automatically for sale to anyone who sees it sitting in your kitchen and wants it. The same is true of any art you personally produce. However, film is an industry, and thus individual films were created by the studios for the purpose of being viewed by the public for a price.

> That's all I ask - a chance to view a film at a price of the studio or rights holder's choice. If they set the price too high for my taste, I can then choose to decline. I think what many people resent is the fact that so many great old films are never going to get released to DVD even in public domain form, while the industry cranks out junk like "The Fast and the Furious - Special Edition".
At last...a voice of reason.

No, you did not "do your job right". In fact, I find your holier-than-thou attitude offensive...and no further response is necessary.

I highly recommend the original novel by Patricia Highsmith. The film would have been quite different without that bothersome production code.
-
Good grief.

"It's far better to wait..."
So you believe all extant films from all studios will soon be available on home video. Interesting.

When is the last time SHOW OF SHOWS (1929) played on TCM? And has VIENNESE NIGHTS (1930) ever been shown?
-
Where are William Beaudine? Roy William Neill? Phil Rosen? Charles Lamont? Charles Barton? Erle C. Kenton? Ben Stoloff? Ray Dennis Steckler? Roger Corman? Herschell Gordon Lewis? Ed Wood, Jr.?
-
Several seen on TCM Underground...GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL; THE HONEYMOON KILLERS; and a Japanese film (maybe TCM Imports) about a man who gets a new face.
-
Did you try vitaphone.*org*?
Thanks for your stern lecture. However, I can think of a number of films I never would have seen if it weren't for "bootleggers". If the studios/copyright holders are too lazy or cheap to make their holdings available, they deserve to be ripped off.

Three Fox titles from 1933...IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE; TRICK FOR TRICK; THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND. You can't count on Fox Movie Channel to show 'em.
-
A very good day indeed.

Sounds like another disappointment. Hitchcock is played to death (no pun intended) on TCM, and noirs are played throughout the year. After suffering through "31 Days of Oscar" year after year, is more horror films during October too much to ask for?
-
I assume the schedule is currently being programmed (or soon will be). I would love to see THE LAST WARNING (Universal, 1928); maybe some Republic horrors (THE VAMPIRE'S GHOST; VALLEY OF THE ZOMBIES); some German silents (THE GOLEM; FAUST; HANDS OF ORLAC; WAXWORKS); THE MAD GHOUL (Univ., 1943-not on DVD); SEVEN FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN (First Natl., 1929); THE MAD GENIUS (WB, 1931); RETURN OF THE TERROR (WB, 1934); THE HIDDEN HAND (WB, 1942); STRANGLER OF THE SWAMP (PRC, 1945). Maybe Lugosi could be star of the month, including his serial THE PHANTOM CREEPS (Universal, 1939).
-
I don't know (or care) if he's a "bootlegger". I find the website fascinating.

Would love to see the very rare NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS (Universal, 1935) on TCM. It's a comic-fantas by Thorne (TOPPER) Smith. The film (supposedly with very good special effects) would be more famous today if it had a better-known cast...Alan Mowbray, Peggy Shannon, Florine McKinney, Irene Ware, Gilbert Emery, Douglas Fowley, Henry Armetta, Ray "Crash" Corrigan. It was directed by Lowell (SHE DONE HIM WRONG) Sherman.
-
And where is the non-series mystery, THE NINTH GUEST (1934) starring Genevieve Tobin and Donald Cook?
-
And you can enjoy the gorgeous weekend away from the TV.
-
Looks like the Lex Barker Tarzans are out. However, July is still way better than June or August and (especially) February.
-
Where's William Beaudine???
-
I'm surprised they haven't been shown yet...ditto the Ellery Queens with Ralph Bellamy and William Gargan.
-
On the bright side, they didn't get Dick Cheney to host.
-
I love those Philo Vance films. We need to get the 3 from PRC on TCM too.

My guess is, he had better legs and she was jealous.

I think the Columbias started 1-1-2007.

I keep requesting THE LAST WARNING (Universal, 1929). Would love to see it aired in October....2009.
