My guess is an Essentials, Jr. version of TCM Underground. Which probably means more Garbage Pail Kids.

I think the OP is looking more for examples not designated from the credits and the plot to be the romantic couple of focus, but I could be wrong.
I was thinking of Ronald Colman and Susan Peters in Random Harvest. We're supposed to be rooting for him to get his memory back and go back to Greer Garson, but it didn't seem to me as if it would be a bad life if he ended up with her.

Always stunned by how many movies I've yet to see. Blossoms in the Dust is the only one on this list I've seen.

1892 Well, it's one of the Garson-Pigeon movies. I think I've seen all of them. I will guess Blossoms in the Dust.
1900 is Cyrano de Bergerac. No.
Unsure about the others, and I'm about to load my car for a long drive. I will check back tonight. Love the moment captured in 1894!

There's some great reading material about the near-simultaneous making of Fail Safe and Dr. Strangelove, both of which were released by the same studio and adapted from the same source material, but one is funny and one is deadly serious.

There are certainly a number of more easily identifiable Lumet films out there! I don't know too many of these. But knowing what a great and diverse career he had, I should seek all of these out probably.
1882 is Fail Safe. Yes.
1883 is The Hill. No.
1888 is Deathtrap. Yes.
1889 is Garbo Talks. No.
Only two I'm sure I've seen.

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but love it when Shirley M. and Anne B. have the fight in The Turning Point
Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke have an amazing knock-down, drag-out in The Miracle Worker that makes me both laugh and cringe. Looks like it must have been very demanding on the actresses.

I saw April Love when TCM had a Pat Boone night a few years ago.
I was pretty sure 1876 was Freud. I thought that was Clift, and it has sort of a Freud-y look. It's not a movie I've seen, though. I don't know that TCM has ever shown it.
Okay, I've seen five.

Feel like I'm posting too soon, but it's likely the only chance I'll have today. So, don't read if you don't want the answers spoiled, although I have no idea for more than half of them, so I won't be giving that many away.
1874 is Here Comes the Groom. Yes.
1877 is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Yes.
1879 is The King of Comedy. Yes.
1880 is Deconstructing Harry. Yes.
So, I've seen at least four.

Oh, okay. Thanks, everybody. Times and technology have changed so much that the OP is talking about streaming and just assumes everyone knows what he's talking about without having to mention it's streaming. I'm still kinda behind the times on all the streaming stuff, although I do use AmazonPrime at home and have used Netflix and YouTube TV while staying in relatives' houses, so I have some basic familiarity with it.

I was absolutely stunned when my parents decided to pay $10 extra every month to get HBO put on our cable package (which, with HBO, was 13 channels) in 1978. I got a lot of "adult education" from getting to watch hundreds of uncut, commercial-free rated-R movies during my adolescence that I would have never been able to sneak into in the tightly policed theaters in my tiny, extremely conservative, podunk hometown. So, yeah, people have been paying for HBO for at least 42 years as far as I know, which makes the topic thread headline extremely confusing to me.

Most of what Nipkow says really exhausts me, but I may have listed Julie Harris in the Actors You Don't Like thread, and if I didn't, I meant to. And I've always found this one of her most exhausting performances. So, I should probably go up and give Nipkow a Like or a Laughing emoji.
Edit: Oh, all right.

1864 is The Catered Affair. Yes.
1868 is Titus Andronicus. No.
1869 is The Pianist. Yes.
1870 is Judy. No.
Once again, I'm having a hard time with almost all of the older ones. Right now, there are only two I'm sure I've seen.

I've never seen HAIR all the way through.
I rented Hair on VHS from Blockbuster when I was in college. Apparently, the plot of the movie is radically different from the original stage show, so I don't really have any conception what it would have been like to see the show live in 1969, but I did enjoy the movie version.

I would have been able to identify 1853, 1854, 1856 and 1858.
And those are also the ones I've seen: Summer Stock, Sweet Bird of Youth, Hair and Awakenings.

I've seen The Love Parade. The stars do look obvious to me now that they've been identified. That's the only one I've seen!

Boy, once again I'm stymied on all the older films.
1849 is American Gigolo. No.
1850 is Mrs. Brown. No.
Possibly I haven't seen any of these.

I wonder if some people are renting/purchasing Tesla thinking it's about Elon Musk and his company?
It's no doubt part of it, but I think there's also been some revived interest in the real guy since Musk became famous. I seem to see a lot of books about Tesla (the man) out there now.

Perhaps the OP changed their moniker and is trolling all of us and we’ve been bamboozled?
The other thread has dropped to p.2. I believe the originator of that thread goes by lmc. But it feels a little weird that they would both say "over and out".

Here's another good use of "Some Enchanted Evening" that may have been the initial launching of Harrison Ford into superstardom. Pretty sure I've read George Lucas wanted to cut this improvised moment because they would have to fork over a chunk of the budget to secure the rights. But they did.

I liked his cameo in Doc Hollywood all right.

By the way, did threads get combined? Did one get eliminated? What happened to "oao"? Curiously, "over and out" is now in the title of this thread? Are Martha My Dear and the person who so upset about the concert films the same person?

1901 Was there a Douglas Fairbanks movie called The Pirate? If so, this must be it. I haven't seen it.
1903 Ernest Hemmingway and Marlon Brando make a buddy comedy! No, actually, I have no idea.
1908 is Gandhi. I've seen parts of this nearly four -hour movie, but not the whole thing.
1909 is Hocus Pocus. Yes.
1910 is Pearl Harbor. Ummm .... no (breaks down sobbing) okay, yes! Yes, I've seen it!
So, only two I'm sure I've seen and the most modern two. As usual, I'm having a hard time with the older movies.
