If speaking only of main themes or one "song" from movies: Body Heat, Exodus, Driving Miss Daisy, Route 66 (TV), A Summer Place, Patton Theme and most earlier James Bonds. Most by Henry Mancini, John Barry, Hugo Montenegro. I'm sure there would be others if I though about it or went and started pulling CD's. Also The Big Chill, American Graffiti, Stand By Me, Forest Gump and similar. But those are compilations of rock music from the 50's and 60's.

Actually it is still there depending on where you place the arrow. Even shows up when trying to click on notifications.

I noticed that FXM is showing Raiders From Beneath the Sea again. This is during their 3:00 AM till 3:00 PM time frame where they tend to show older movies without commercials. Not a lot of variety, but some interesting ones periodically. Raiders sounds like a SciFi or war movie, but it is a crime movie. Merry Anders is the chief attraction. But the premise is sort of interesting, if somewhat far fetched. SPOILER: They rob a bank on Catalina Island by swimming under water with scuba gear to get there and escape.

Starz Western channel used to show Gene Autry movies at Noon on Sundays. Always enjoyed them, but they rarely show any Autry movies any more. I'll watch some of the new ones, but somehow just not as entertaining-and I don't mean the singing. Right now they are big on Hopalong Cassidy movies and TV series in mornings.

Thanks. As for forums such as this, they are dying out. I am on two related to automobiles, both operated by the manufacturers. One no longer has places where you can comment. If you go to the site, you can select "news" items and videos about upcoming cars, events, etc. But just to watch them. I think the commentary portion has pretty much moved to their facebook and similar sites. They do occasionally send out email surveys. On the other one, you can still comment, respond and so forth. They are about 60 registered users, but only about four or five of us are actually active. By active, I mean we log on once per week to see if anything has happened. They also present "news" videos and so forth. Here again, I think the commentary portion has moved to facebook or whatever. I do not do facebook, twitter or any others. They do not do surveys, but they have a section for ideas. On a couple of more automotive related sites that are independent, but by brand. Some are quite active. Good places to ask questions and seek out information. Have a friend who is active on four or five railroad and railroad modeling sites. He says they are fairly active, but they are independents.

OK, who created the Kyle Kersten "billboard" and made it part of the TCM forums home page? While he may have been "an important contributor" so have lots of other people. In fact, there was a thread recently about members who gone "missing." What about honoring them?

Must have been last night.

That may be the answer. I also believe that they are showing more "shorts." And shorts are not movies IMO. With showing shorter movies mixed with longer movies and more shorts, it does require expert manipulation of start times. Of course, they also need to sell something. Interesting that people mention the wine club and backlot group, but seldom mention the ads for DVD's and other products.

I tend to like Martin's movies as long as Jerry Lewis and Frank Sinatra aren't in them. Probably not that good of a movie, but I have always liked Ada. Rio Bravo is a good one.

Tropic Noirs? Guess His Kind of Woman would fit as well as Macao. Then you might could add in The Big Steal. Maybe Eddie could start a new series: Tropic Noirs or maybe South of the Border Noirs? That would open up a whole lot of movies. But we get into that "discussion" of what separates Noir from crime from mystery movies.

I have or have seen most of the Noir Alley movies, but I still record and watch them to hear Eddie Muller's commentary. I was kind of disappointed in The Letter being shown and to me his narratives were too focused on the director, producer and star rather than the movie. I don't think Muller is "self-important" as much as well informed. His presentations are from someone who knows whereof they speak. As for the wine club, I just switch the channel. Problem is that TCM is Free to us. OK, may require upgrading to a different tier, but still basically free. So, TCM has to make money somehow - unless you want commercials throughout the movies.

What is Fear Thy Neighbor? Is this on TCM?

Amusing Westerns. Wed. June 06. Callaway Went Thataway, Support Your Local Sheriff and The Good Guys and the Bad Guys. Nothing overly serious, just good entertainment. CWT is actually a "modern" Hollywood western.

I watched The Letter Sunday. Sorry, may have great producer, director and star, but just not impressed. My wife and I both watched it and had seen it before. Both had same impression. It's a good mystery/drama, but not great. Not sure what genre it is, but it is not Noir.

She lived on a river, not in a swamp.

Old joke. An armadillo is a possum on the half shell.

Ah yes, the Claudia Jennings era.

How about Alligator People (1959), Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959), Swamp Thing (1982)?

SPOILER: Mark of the Vampire is the one where Lugosi, his daughter and another man are actually actors pretending to be vampires. They are hired to root out a murderer. All takes place in the mansion in Prague. Entirely possible they used armadillos as rats in other "vampire" movies though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_of_the_Vampire

I updated my post. You may actually be referring to 1935's Mark of the Vampire.

It is supposed to be a large rat, but guess they had to substitute the armadillo. My wife and I laugh every time we see it as it is quite obvious that it is not a rat. You may be referring to Mark of the Vampire (1935). Sort of like the shrews in The Killer Shrews (1959). Obviously dogs with pieces of cloth over them.

Have about decided to sign up for it, but have some questions. Since I will only be able to view it on my PC, not very appealing, but thought I might try it. Sitting at PC for 1.5-2 hours is not something I want to do. Do not have a smart TV and cannot send signals from PC or modem to TV. Why do I have to subscribe through my cable provider (Spectrum)? I assume there is no charge. Am I correct is assuming can only watch on the PC? Thanks.

She was known as Martha MacVicar in The Falcon in Mexico.

The Saint series is on and very enjoyable. At least those with George Sanders. First one is on now (with Louis Hayward), but not very good. The Saint in Palm Springs is my favorite. I think that was last one with Sanders as he moved on to The Falcon Series before his brother, Tom Conway, took that over. At 5:30 PM, two with Hugh Sinclair are being shown. Haven't seen these, so do not know about them.

Tuesday, May 29, is Bob Hope during daytime. My favorite Hope movie is Bachelor in Paradise, 2:45 PM. It's set in a 1961 new subdivision. Lots of nostalgia in it for that period of time. Also, lots of Chrysler Corp. vehicles. Lana Turner costars with good turns by Janis Paige, Jim Hutton and Paula Prentis.
