["New" TCM's New Movies]

If they wanted to show a "modern" Christmas classic, why not "Home Alone" or "Christmas Vacation"? They're more classic than "The Holiday".

[TCM "In Remembrance" Songs]

I think 2003 was the first year they started with the pop/indie music as opposed to the generic piano music

It worked, but I just realized the link I posted was to page 4 of the "guide". Here's the link again, to the start-page:

>Shani3: Can you repost a link to that angelfire site so we don't have to write it out but can just click on the link? Thanks.

 

Sorry about that, roverrocks--I'm kinda new to posting here There doesn't seem to be any instructions in the help section on how to post a link in this new-layout forum; I'll try again:

[Russian Ark (2002)]

I highly recommend anyone unfamiliar with Russian history to check out this site:

 

www.angelfire.com/ult/cmcdouga/arkhome.htm

 

It's a scene-by-scene guide to what's going on in the movie, as the film itself doesn't really tell you who the historical figures are. I knew very little Russian history when I first saw this, and the guide made it all the more enjoyable.
