The Criterion version (DVD and BD) came out last month, and it is on Netflix.

Good points, SansFin - I just wish I was a bit more familiar with episodes from The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who to really come up with the best examples.
As for The Sword in the Stone, I guess it could be considered falling into a similar category as A Christmas Carol in that it portrays something that constitutes a temporal displacement, albeit it is not usually thought of as being primarily a sci-fi story.
I'll keep that in mind next time The Sword in the Stone, too.

> I wonder if the Alastair Sim CHRISTMAS CAROL (aka SCROOGE) qualifies. When the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future show him scenes, there is a whirlpool effect, and hourglasses tumbling. Scrooge isn't "there" -- he's only an observer -- but it's something like time travel.
Well, in some ways I guess it might be looked at that way. On the other hand, does the Dickens novel ever conclusively establish that Scrooge couldn't simply have been having a very peculiar dream?
But if we accept that the spirits are real and that Scrooge has really been taken back in time, and also briefly into the future - or at least one possible future - then it would definitely constitute time displacement.
Of course, I don't think A Christmas Carol is usually classified as sci-fi, but even that could just be an example of how stuff that involves time-travel doesn't necessarily only occur in the sci-fi genre.

That's actually a GREAT example.

Hi TigerBlam, welcome to the forums
You might check out the _audio_ podcasts available on the TCM website:
Other than that, I am not sure the "Private Screening" and other TCM specials are available anywhere else, unless they were included in some DVD as a bonus feature.

Hope you'll enjoy it. I like it a lot, though maybe not quite as much as Sirk's remake.
They're both worth watching, though - for sure!

audreyforever,
I don't know how much you know about Francis Ford, John's older brother, but they both worked together in many movies, especially during their years doing silent movies.
A friend recently e-mailed me an article that focuses on the relationship between the Ford brothers; I have not had time to read it all the way through but it does seem fairly fascinating:
