BackToThePast

I've never gotten a no signal message but for the past month or 2, every time I watch or record a movie on TCM I lose sound for 2-3 seconds usually during the middle of the movie.

I have seen more than a few bad movies even after reading Maltins review mainly because it had a actor/actress in it that I liked. Much more often than not it wasn't a good film(IMO) so I try to avoid anything under 2 1/2 stars unless I hear good things about it somewhere else or if it involves one of my favorite actors/actresses.

I don't know how many bad movies the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide saved me from watching. Most of the time I agree with his reviews/ratings. I think the biggest one he got wrong was when he gave Taxi Driver 2 stars.

I was looking at the TCM schedule for tomorrow and was surprised to find out that Harold Lloyd's first 'talkie' "Welcome Danger" isn't available on DVD in the U.S. I know there are quite a few movies that air on TCM that have never come out on DVD so I thought it would be interesting to start a thread listing upcoming movies airing on TCM that haven't been released on DVD.

Since 2001, I've recorded about 800 or 900 movies from TCM. About half were recorded on VHS. I didn't know any better and recorded most in slp mode. Many of those movies I watched only once or while I was recording and never watched the tapes again. Waste of time and space. lol
