CineSage,
The lack of "exclusivity" deals actually sounds like a good deal. But why are there so many instances where people here say that certain movies are not likely to be played by TCM because Fox Movie Channel or Encore or someone else "has them" ?

So you think it will win Best Picture?

Val Lewton
in Horror
amazon has reduced the price of the Val Lewton Horror Collection to $26.99, almost half the SRP. This is the set without the scorsese documentary, though.

What is your favorite Beatles album? What previously unavailable Beatles titles would you like to see released officially? (of the ones that are currently only available in the gray market).
I just read an article not too long ago about all the rights disputes that have kept many Beatles songs from being officially released. It's incredible how those disputes between the rights-holders can go on for years, or decades even.

daneldorado, I wasn't around when you asked the question. May I offer a response? I must admit it is the wildest of wild guesses, but at least I'll know I tried.
Is it Lana Turner, to her husband, in "The Postman Always Rings Twice"?

Bologna, huh? Great, you realize you've just made me want to run to the kitchen and make myself a sandwich?
Seriously, tho, I like catching up with the B's when I get a chance. Monogram B's are a rather unique pleasure, I think. Thank you for the clarification

dsclassic,
Hope you won't mind this late reply, I've only started catching up with the thread. I really like offbeat orchestration choices, like the theremin in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" or the zither in "The Third Man" and whatever it is they used for the creepy music in "Psycho".
As for the themes from the 80s movies, well, yeah, they bring back memories from a time that even now seemed happier, and more carefree. I was just thinking about other movie songs from the era, like Power of Love and Ghostbusters or the "Top Gun" song, whatever it was called.
In no particular order:

I don't think liking old songs makes anbody old. For the record, I never watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in a theater except for much later reissues, and I still love Moon River. It might be one of the few movie songs that almost makes me cry (don't ask what the other ones are).
MOON RIVER
p.s. Sorry, just got caught up trying to catch up with this thread - hope it's OK with you!

Snorky,
I thought I was the only one who would still remember "Nadia's Theme" from that show. (My mother used to love watching it)
Guess I was wrong... here are a couple of versions, enjoy!

I take it you don't like Rourke and Cruz?

I was just watching RO's introduction to "A Star is Born" - he mentioned that Lana Turner is supposedly an extra in a racetrack scene near the end of the movie. Has anyone ever been able to figure out exactly where she appears?
RO said he's never been able to spot her, so I guess chances are nobody else has, either.

Well, it sure did get more Oscar nominations than all the other movies this year.

So would it be safe to say it didn't venture into Russ Meyer territory, then?

The ones from "deep in the heart of texas" look a bit like cabbage patch dolls (I used to like those, although I hated the marketing).

That's an awesome video, bronxgirl. That was easily one of the best family shows of its time, too.

Is it from either version of 'Mutiny on the Bounty"?

Yes, indeed.

Speaking of chocolate and music:

Well, I understand Kevin Spacey isn't going to be everyone's favorite actor. I'm very biased in his favor, for some bizarre reason.
I'm not 100% sure but I think he did a lot of his own singing in that movie.
Keep the jukebox going! You got great tunes there.

I have been a fan of Bobby Darrin and "Beyond the Sea" since I was a teen. Did anyone else watch the movie that came out a few years ago, with Kevin Spacey playing Darrin? It wasn't a perfect performance, but pretty good I thought.

Nice list, ChiO. Can't go wrong with the Beach Boys.

Is "No Time For Love" also a TCM premiere? I noticed it is a Paramount movie.
