Yes, BUT in TCM's defense her Lorna, they HAVE shown How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to The Forum, AND Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, among many other movies with exceedingly long titles!
(...and so lets at least give our favorite television channel their due in this regard anyway!)
And: The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.

The last two have aired, just not recently. But I do agree, TCM should show more movies with long titles.

I much prefer the Great Pink Sea Snail. First-Class accommodations.

they're hoarding the older fare for DVD and Blu-ray purchases of course.
Doubtless because of the overwhelming demand.

Does anyone else agree? I don't want to watch anyone opinions. I want Classic movies not anything made after the 1960s... and I can do without so many or any of the silent and foreign movies but that is because I can not read the subtitles fast enough to enjoy them. I'm not sure why this says I am a newbie. Of course I was too busy making movies to spend much time watching them like I can now that I'm retired. I was one of the first people that got Direct TV when TCM launched although I had been watching the true Classic Movies since I was five years old. I never watched much TV but Classic movies were and still are magical.
I do not agree.

Two movies by Michael Powell.
As for Ms. DuVernay and the continual misrepresentation of her choices, as has been demonstrated before, the great majority of movies were standard fare for TCM. And many of the ones which might be seen as aired with an intent to open a window into the cultures of minorities in this country (heavens!) were not premieres. It is a mark of the staidness of some posters here that they have taken a small part of her list and used it to color her entire tenure.

Always people we know about, if not big stars. How about introducings of people who vanished murmurless?

Aaah! How did I forget that one?

the movie is quite good opening with our heroes having a leisurely chat in their lab headquarters. the place has got a stove, a divider and even a fridge.
That's enough for me.

As the great movie Buddha says, don't get your history from movies.

I should have been more clear. I asked if you stayed at the hotel, but I guess you didn't.

He made his film debut in Jean-Pierre Melville's 1962 crime classic Le Doulos.
That's one Melville movie we've yet to see here on TCM. One of his best.

She did the stunt riding for many leading actresses including Gale Storm, Loretta Young, Elizabeth Taylor, and Julie Adams
This must be asking too much, but do you know if she did the stunt riding for Ms. Taylor in National Velvet (1944)?

Thanks, and the same for you. I always enjoy your pikchas. . . .

Wow. Citations. I'm sure that turns up in a lot of movies, and not just with wounded soldiers.

Sometimes it's more interesting to talk about a movie than watch it.

In regards to WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT FEELING GOOD? (1968) it was a Universal Picture. I have a ropey VHS copy of it -- more like a-copy-of-a-copy in point of fact -- taken from what looked to be a mid-1990s 'Comedy Central' broadcast. Somebody taped it and I got mine from 'Robert's Rare Videos' in Canada. The picture quality and sound aren't great, but it's watchable enough.
I also wish I knew if Universal still had the rights to this movie or what happened to it.
Two more UNIVERSAL PICTURES from the late 1960s that seem to have vanished off the planet:
P.J. (1968) starring George Peppard, Raymond Burr and Gayle Hunnicutt. This aired on TV in the 1980s on TBS; I have a *very* ropey copy of the television version of "P.J." which is missing 90% of the violence and re-arranges the order of at least 1 scene. It's better than nothing -- but not by much!
DON'T JUST STAND THERE! (1968) starring Robert Wagner, Mary Tyler Moore and Glynis Johns. Another Universal movie that, to my knowledge, hasn't been seen since James K. Polk was President (ok, so I'm exaggerating a lil' bit).
NOTES: Mary Tyler Moore had signed a 5-picture deal with Universal in 1966 and the five movies she made for Universal were THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT FEELING GOOD?, DON'T JUST STAND THERE!, RUN A CROOKED MILE (1969-UK TVM) and CHANGE OF HABIT.
Another two UNIVERAL PICTURES movies George Peppard made are still rather hard to locate as far as I can tell: HOUSE OF CARDS (1968) and ONE MORE TRAIN TO ROB (1971).
What's So Bad. . .used to be available intermittently on YouTube, but I fear has vanished permanently. There is an ad there to buy it on a DVD.
P. J. is another movie once on YT, but gone. Guess you can buy it somewhere.
Here's One More Train to Rob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd4UfsRt6cg. Guess you should watch it quick before it goes.
Just found What's So Bad. . .: https://ok.ru/video/1483780131494. Looks Russian, so yeronyerown.
Also, Don't Just Stand There: https://ok.ru/video/1882928253584. Same deal.
