1994 and I’ve also seen … Il Mostro (1994) Roberto Benigni, Italy I think I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than to watch this again.

Saturday, January 18 10 a.m. Popeye: Fightin’ Pals (1940).

Thursday, January 16 8 p.m. New York, New York (1977). This is an underrated Scorsese IMO. Friday, January 17/18 4 a.m. It's Alive (1974). This sounds like it should be hilarious …”A couple's use of an experimental fertility drug produces a monstrous infant.” But it is directed by Larry Cohen and probably misses the mark.

It was incredibly stylish, I gave it that. 😄

1987 and I’ve also seen … Opera (1987) Dario Argento, Italy Some good terror set pieces in this gallo but boy does it stretch credulity to get there. If you are annoyed by characters who do dumb things in order to get themselves killed you won’t like this either. The picture comes from bloodydisgusting.com 😄

Hey, has anyone else noticed that when searching for an image on google the "copy image address" option has disappeared on a majority of their photos?

Tuesday, January 14 Patrica Neal SOTM 11:15 p.m. The Breaking Point (1950). With Patrica Neal, John Garfield. Wallace Ford is also a stand out. Wednesday, January 15 9:45 a.m. The Big Sky (1952). Howard Hawks film with Kirk Douglas. Arthur Hunnicutt is amusing as usual.

Only one change/addition: 2018 The Other Side of the Wind

Monday, January 13 8 p.m. The Search (1948). Good Fred Zinnemann film with Montgomery Clift but little Ivan Jandl steals the film. Replaced in Canada with Operation Eichmann (1961) with Werner Klemperer as Eichmann.

Sunday, January 12 10: 15 p.m. The Late Show (1977). Part of the Art Carney night. But Lily Tomlin and the recently departed Bill Macy (1922-2019) are also very good. 4 a.m. The Bridge (1959). Terrific WWII picture from German director Berhard Wicki. This picture probably landed him the assignment of the German sections of The Longest Day (1962). And I would add that the ending of Saving Private Ryan (1998) owes something to this film.

Milos Forman's Taking Off (1971) has one of my favourite Buck Henry performances. He was a gem.

1984 and I’ve also seen … La Muerte del Chacal (1984) Pedro Galindo, Mexico Mexican slasher film. Just dreadful and the plot is like Swiss cheese.

1919 - Broken Blossoms 1929 - Pandora's Box 1939 - The Wizard of Oz 1949 - The Third Man 1959 - North by Northwest 1969 - The Wild Bunch 1979 - Apocalypse Now 1989 - sex, lies, and videotape 1999 - Eyes Wide Shut 2009 - District 9 2019 - The Irishman

Saturday, January 11 10 a.m. Popeye: Nurse Mates (1940). noon. Gentleman’s Agreement (1947). Multi-Oscar winning Eliz Kazan picture. Probably lacks the punch it had upon its original release.

I'm guessing but it looks to me that if you were to combine the two examples above that you would get the correct line up. BTW, welcome back!

Let's say it is a film of interest. I haven't seen it.

Friday, January 10 12:15 p.m. The Burning Hills (1956). With Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood. Maltin didn’t like it.

Thursday, January 9 10 p.m. I am Somebody (1970). Documentary short about black hospital workers in South Carolina who go on strike then the Governor calls out the National Guard. Restored by the Library of Congress,

Wednesday, January 8 I don't see this one in the American or Canadian schedule any longer. There is just a big blank in this time slot. So maybe it is on and maybe it isn't? 10:15 p.m. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1967). One of Roger Corman’s best. Good cast and classic narration by Paul Frees. Paul Frees (1920-1986).

Tuesday, January 7 Patricia Neal SOTM 8 p.m. The Fountainhead (1949). Controversial Ann Rand film with Gary Cooper and Neal. I didn’t care for it much. Replaced in Canada with The Night Digger (1971) which has a story a lot like Night Must Fall.

1983 Deadly Circuit (1983) Claude Miller, France A tad confused but still amusing. Michel Serrault plays a detective on the trail of bluebeardess, Isabelle Adjani. Good cast.

Monday, January 6 Monday night's schedule has been completely rearranged since it was first announced. My original pick at 10:15 p.m. of Body and Soul (1947) has been scratched. But I am pleased to see that this one from the original January 23 schedule appears on Monday ... 8 p.m. Scandal: The Trial of Mary Astor (2018). Something I knew nothing about. Set for a repeat at 1 a.m.

Sunday, January 5 8 a.m. Sally (1930). Featuring Marilyn Miller who Maltin says was a Broadway sensation in the 20’s. I had never heard of her.

Saturday, January 4 10 a.m. Popeye: Wimmin Is a Myskery (1940). 11:30 a.m. King For a Day (1934). Short subject featuring tap legend Bill Robinson.

When I was browsing through the stills for the film I was impressed by the compositions. Now whether that was just the still photographer or also the cinematographer I will have to wait and see.
