Unfortunatly rio Marilyn Monroe made most of her films for 20th Century-Fox and TCM doesn't have the rights to show them at the moment. Perhaps soon.

Another film listed somewhere below as a lemon is the Oscar winning film "Chariots of Fire" which I'm quite fond of.
Its an absorbing and unusal movie centering on a devout Scottish missionary and a Jewish student who run in the 1924 Olympics.
It was interesting to experience their motives, challenges, problems and emotions.
Reverent moments capture the heart especially when the Scot, in keeping with his faith, refused to run on the sabbath. When he is told he should race on Sunday because the King would be present, standing firm he says "It was God who made kings".
The Oscar winning score by Vangelis is outstanding.

Stella I agree with you about Jerry Lewis films and I felt the same way about Woody Allen until recently.
I've been watching some of his films on the cable movie channels and his "Radio Days" is a total delight loaded with laughs and nostalgia. Also "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Hannah and Her Sisters" were quite good. I also noticed just how good Mia Farrow was in these movies.
I have a gained a new respect for her acting ability.
No matter what Woody is quite a talented guy.

I happen to like just about all the versions of "A Christmas Carol" with the 1938 film my very favorite.
The 1951 version is also superior with Alistair Simm an excellent Scrooge. The musical "Scrooge" with Albert Finney is also entertaining in color and the song "Thank You Very Much".
Not to forget George C. Scott as the miser in a well made TV version.
All a little different with the same outcome and all enjoyable for the holiday season.

I happen to like the short films that TCM presents at Christmas. Especially "Star in the Night" with J. Carrol Naish as the owner of a motel/eatery in the desert. It's a modern (1945) story about the Nativity and heartwarming indeed. Also musical selections from movies with Mario Lanza singing Ave Maria and Garland singing Silent Night among other goodies.
That suits me just fine.

Actually antar I didn't qualify Stanwyck for a blonde bombshell in my post (I thought you did). When I was praising blonde bombshell Marion Martin I noted that she was in "Lady of Burlesque" WITH Stanwyck. Sorry for the confusion.
Come to think of it though I believe Stanwyck was a blonde in some of her early films.

Considering the topic Stanwyck did wear a blonde wig in "Double Indemnity" and she was outstanding. One of my all time favorites.

I just hope that when patypancake said "goodbye and farewell" doesn't mean that she is not coming back to the boards.
She has long been a staple here and has added much information and spice to these boards, not to mention all the interesting topics she created. It would be a shame to see her go.
Paty be sure to get your butt back here soon.
