    where are the movie morlocks when you need them

    ...if I can guess---it can't be hard!  :D

    NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (ORIG. of course)

  2. " Unfortunately, as they got underway, a lot of them have just been an excuse to re-present or resell films that are already in heavy rotation on TCM."

     

    Too bad, but that does seem to be the case. I had hoped, if they give a 'spotlight', it would be on more unusual subjects. (the Australian Cinema was the treat for me) Mentioned in other threads were animated films (& shorts) or foreign horror films.

    Any other suggestions??

    :)

  6. this actor worked as a lifeguard and a radio announcer before getting into the movies. in a pair of films directed by a future tv talk show director, he acted with a chimp.

     

    he would meet his future wife when they costarred in a naval drama.

     

    later he would leave film acting to become a spokesman for general electric.

     

    then he did other stuff that made him world famous.

     

    so wazzzat Ronnie Reagan??
