[Have you seen these 10 classic films..?]

I recognize a number of the actors but can't identify many of the movies, except for the more recent ones.

2467 is Max Dugan Returns. I think I watched the first 30 or 60 minutes on HBO many years ago, but I won't count it as one I've seen.

2468 Clint Eastwood and James Woods. Seems like it could be a movie I've seen, but I'm not placing it.

2469 Walk the Line. Yes.

2470 The Coen Brothers' version of True Grit. I haven't seen it.

So, only one I'm sure I've seen.

 

[BBC Culture: How Basic Instinct defined the erotic thriller - and killed it]

 I clicked on the link before I realized the entire article was reprinted in the OP.

[SOTM]

Robert Redford was SOTM in January of a recent year, I think.

[July 2021 schedule]

Primetime July 5 The theme is clearly Brian DePalma, but Bonfire of the Vanities is getting the big, fat lead primetime spot as the second installment of the TCM podcast is supposed to be all about the disaster that was that movie.

Sisters (Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt) (AIP, 1973)
Obsession (Cliff Robertson, Genevieve Bujold) (Columbia, 1976)
Blow Out (John Travolta, Nancy Allen) (Filmways, 1981)
Body Double (Craig Wasson, Gregg Henry) (Columbia, 1984)
Bonfire of the Vanities (Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis) (Warner Bros., 1990)

[July 2021 schedule]

Daytime July 5 Well, they're all romantic comedies in which the potential couple doesn't know everything there is to know about each other? Like, they're secret pen pals, they rotate use of the same apartment or phone line, etc.

Rafter Romance (Ginger Rogers, Norman Foster) (RKO, 1933)
The Shop Around the Corner (Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart) (MGM, 1940)
The Bride Came C.O.D. (James Cagney, Bette Davis) (Warner Bros., 1941)
A Girl, a Guy and a Gob (George Murphy, Lucille Ball) (RKO, 1941)
Pillow Talk (Doris Day, Tony Randall) (Universal, 1959)
Sunday in New York (Rod Taylor, Jane Fonda) (MGM, 1963)
The Glass Bottom Boat (Doris Day, Rod Taylor) (MGM, 1966)
 

[July 2021 schedule]

Primetime July 4 The Fourth of July continues with patriotic musicals

Yankee Doodle Dandy (James Cagney, Joan Leslie) (Warner Bros., 1942)
1776 (William Daniels, Howard DeSilva) (Columbia, 1972)

Silent Sunday Night

Mockery (Lon Chaney, Ricardo Cortez) (MGM, 1927)

I think it's TCM Imports after that, though it's a movie set in America

Paris, Texas (Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski) (Dist. in the US by 20th Century Fox, 1984)

[July 2021 schedule]

Daytime July 4 Revolutionary War Movies for the Fourth of July

The Howards of Virginia (Cary Grant, Martha Scott) (Columbia, 1940)
The Time of Their Lives (Bud Abbott, Lou Costello) (Universal, 1946)
The Scarlet Coat (Cornel Wilde, Michael Wilding) (MGM, 1955)
John Paul Jones (Robert Stack, Marisa Pavan) (Warner Bros., 1959)
The Devil's Disciple (Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas) (United Artists, 1959)

The last movie of the day doesn't fit the war theme, but it's about a small-town patriotic-themed marching band, so maybe it's appropriate for the Fourth of July:

The Music Man (Robert Preston, Shirley Jones) (Warner Bros., 1962)

[July 2021 schedule]

Primetime July 3 looks like a late-career Clark Gable double feature.

The Tall Men (Clark Gable, Jane Russell) (20th Century Fox, 1955)
The Misfits (Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe) (United Artists, 1961)

Boy, I'm a helpless child when this website doesn't spoonfeed me the themes. I think the next movie is Noir Alley. What confuses me is it doesn't rerun in the morning, but that may be because the following day is devoted entirely to a Revolutionary War theme for the Fourth of July. So, let's call it Noir Alley.

Guilty Bystander (Zachary Scott, Faye Emerson) (Film Classics, 1950)

Overnight is a back-to-back airing of a movie adaptation of a play and then a movie musical adaptation of the same play:

Ah, Wilderness! (Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore) (MGM, 1935)
Summer Holiday (Mickey Rooney, Gloria DeHaven) (MGM, 1948)

[July 2021 schedule]

Daytime July 3 Saturday Matinee. There's a Batman serial running Saturdays this month, also Popeye cartoons. I'm only listing the features:

Lady Gangster (Faye Emerson, Julie Bishop) (Warner Bros., 1942)
The Falcon in Hollywood (Tom Conway, Barbara Hale) (RKO, 1944)
Dream Wife (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr) (MGM, 1953)

Then theme-free afternoon programming. Or, if I was to give it a theme, it would be really, really famous movies:

The Third Man (Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli) (Dist. in the US by Selznick Releasing Corp., 1950)
Strangers on a Train (Farley Granger, Robert Walker) (Warner Bros., 1951)
Ocean's 11 (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin) (Warner Bros., 1960)
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (Paul Newman, Robert Redford) (20th  Century Fox, 1969)

[July 2021 schedule]

I haven't seen a thread for August, which I think will be SUTS, yet, so I'm plunging back into my list of films shown in July.

Primetime July 2 '60s Noir?

Harper (Paul Newman, Lauren Bacall) (Warner Bros., 1966)
Point Blank (Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson) (MGM, 1967)
Warning Shot (David Janssen, Steve Allen) (Paramount, 1967)

I think the next movie is TCM Underground. July 2 turning into 3 is Friday night/Saturday morning. 

What's the Matter with Helen? (Debbie Reynolds, Shelly Winters) (United Artists, 1971)

Late night continues with five straight shorts directed by Curtis Harrington, the director of Helen.

 

 

[Have you seen these 10 classic films..?]

Whoops, I have also seen Face/Off. Didn't recognize it from the still. So, I've seen two of those 10, the most recent two, I think, I must admit somewhat shamefacedly.

[Have you seen these 10 classic films..?]

I haven't played this game in a long, long time. The previous post saved me a lot of work on the 2450s. The only one I could have identified on sight was Footloose, which is also the only one I've seen.

[Singer B.J. Thomas (1942-2021)]

Sorry to hear. I have two B.J. Thomas songs in my iTunes collection: "Billy and Sue" (officially credited to the Triumphs or maybe B.J. Thomas & the Triumphs, 1966) and "Hooked on a Feeling" (1968). "Raindrops" is certainly worthy. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[July 2021 schedule]

Daytime July 2 These are all films that have more than one director, but as the day goes on, a number of films also concern troubled youth, pretty much a continuation of the juvenile delinquency theme. So, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it's both?

Finishing School  (Frances Dee, Ginger Rogers) (RKO, 1934)
Boys Town (Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney) (MGM, 1938)
Crime School (Humphrey Bogart, Huntz Hall (Warner Bros., 1938)
Boy Slaves (Anne Shirley, Roger Daniel) (RKO, 1939)
Land of Liberty (Humphrey Bogart, Huntz Hall) (Distributors of American, 1939)
The Mayor of 44th Street (George Murphy, Anne Shirley) (RKO, 1944)
Youth Runs Wild (Bonita Granville, Kent Smith) (RKO, 1944)
Delinquent Daughters (June Carlson, Fifi D'orsay) (Producers Releasing Corp., 1944)
Boys' Ranch (Jackie Jenkins, James Craig) (MGM, 1946)
Cash McCall (James Garner, Natalie Wood) (Warner Bros., 1960)

The new imdb formatting is freaking me out.

[July 2021 schedule]

Primetime July 1 Star of the Month Elvis Presley?

Kissing Cousins (Elvis Presley, Arthur O'Connell) (MGM, 1964)
Double Trouble (Elvis Presley, John Williams) (MGM, 1967)
Live a Little, Love a Little (Elvis Presley, Michelle Carey) (MGM, 1968)

This last one apparently runs twice, back-to-back?

[July 2021 schedule]

Daytime July 1. My guess is William Wyler

Jezebel (Bette Davis, Henry Fonda) (Warner Bros., 1938)
The Letter (Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall) (Warner Bros., 1940)
The Little Foxes (Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall) (RKO, 1941)
Mrs. Miniver (Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon) (MGM, 1942)
The Best Years of Our Lives (Myrna Loy, Frederic March) (RKO, 1946)
Friendly Persuasion (Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire) (Allied Artists, 1956)

[July 2021 schedule]

Themes of the day have been completely removed, replaced with lengthy genre/subgenre listings, leaving me to have to guess.

[June 2021]

Primetime June 15 Star of the Month Cyd Charisse Night Three

The Harvey Girls (Judy Garland, John Hodiak) (MGM, 1946)
On an Island with You (Esther Williams, Peter Lawford) (MGM, 1948)
Singin' in the Rain (Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds) (MGM, 1952)
It's Always Fair Weather (Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse) (MGM, 1955)
Silk Stockings (Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse) (MGM, 1957)

I think Singin' in the Rain is also airing as part of the teachers as guest programmers theme, so I believe it is the first movie to air twice this month, other than the Noir Alley features.

[June 2021]

First, I should clarify there's not a double showing of The Americanization of Emily within a 12-hour period. My mistake. I've altered my postings above but am also mentioning it here.

Daytime June 15 Afterlife Adventures

The Ghost Goes West (Robert Donat, Jean Parker) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1936)

Blithe Spirit (Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings) (Dist. in the US by Classic Pictures, 1952)

[Death Takes No Holiday -- The Obituary Thread]

On 5/3/2021 at 5:12 PM, Wayne said:

Jacques d'Amboise's passing leaves Russ Tamblyn as the last surviving Pontipee brother from MGM's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), although four of the "brides" are still with us --- Jane Powell, Julie Newmar (Newmeyer), Ruta Lee (Kilmonis), and Nancy Kilgas.

That is some deep state classical movie trivia knowledge there. Props.

Noir Alley
