any crime film set in NYC with shadowy late afternoon (especially in a tenement building) daytime lighting is film noir.

is that they reflect the dumbing down (especially morality-wise) of the contemporary western world. just go to IMDb and look at the upcoming film titles. you have to be a narcissistic smartphone-wielding millennial to even know what the films might even be about. san andreas is the top box office grosser right now and it's nothing but cgi.

doan believe I've ever seen The Hunters. followed by the enjoyable perennial The Enemy Below with a battle of wills between Capt. Morell (mitchum) and Curt "Stromberg" Jurgens and of course that rousing Leigh Harline music. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051750/?ref_=fn_al_tt_5

doan forget about film armoir... old b&w crime flicks with french furniture.

you got it! I was thinking of vttbots episode 'fires of death' with victor jory as alchemist Dr. Turner.

name the Gone With The Wind actor who appeared on an Irwin Allen TV series.

Vaccaro with 2 As.

doan forget about that Shirley Booth film with Anthony Quinn. must be a real toughie for tcm to get a hold of.

incorrect. prior to it's disappearance from tcm now more than ten years ago tcm had been showing hot spell regularly. I know this because I watched hot spell every time tcm would show it.

well, I be a not goin' to see a film in theatres that is constantly shown on TV. that female great white (whatshername?) that's been in the news of late. maybe she oughta be caught and put up by some org like the sierra club until she delivers then they can hold a baby shower for all her little ones with a big swim-in for the sierra club and other orgs like greenpeace or anyone who wants to go swimming with momma carcharias and her little ones.

not that it already has not. tcm oughta be showin' a lot more films than they are. I mean how many times can you creatively present the exact same unchanging film catalog??? when does enough become enough? they beat The Third Man over our heads at every opportunity because it is one of their favorite films... but nary a sign of Hot Spell which probably hasn't been seen on tcm in well over ten years now. what is this? cheapskateness taken to infinity. sheeesh! what skinflints. anyways, here be my idea for a great double feature... sometimes a great notion with Henry Fonda, Paul Newman and Lee Remick. the saga of the Stampers of Oregon, a family of old school hardcase loggers. followed by... over the edge which has become a cult classic. a planned community of failed yuppies who have forgotten about something... their kids. now angry indifferent malcontent drug-dealing punks. a whole lotta fun with this one.

yeah, that guy is absolutely venomous through and through.

go to today's full schedule and click on the description for The Cowboys. they got a leonard maltin review to an old Roy Rogers/Smiley Burnette oater.

Michael Keaton as Batman (1989)

back in theatres for it's 40th anniversary?... it was just on amc two weeks ago! along with Jaws 2, Jaws 3 and Jaws: the Revenge. to quote Bruce after he ate quint "I think I'll pass."

I quite agree. it was good like the first four or five times but after successive watchings it loses more and more each time. it is overrated...especially jack lemmon. doan get me wrong. I like jack lemmon but after successive watchings, his character becomes more and more silly. why should pulver care what Roberts thinks of him? and the idea that pulver is gonna get some guts because he's moved to grief by the death of Roberts is silly. why get mad at cagney? it was Roberts idea to put himself in harm's way like that. heck, the captain wanted to keep him there. seriously, the more and more times I sit through this the more dumber it gets. seriously overrated. p.s. I agree that cagney is the one consistent bright spot no matter how many times you see this.

tcm had colorized week and showed some colorized stuff like king kong or chain lightning, the closest thing bogart did to science fiction. bogey up there flying the J2 through all that meteor dust...colorized. tcm oughta give it a whirl...but they won't. helluva shame.

I'd rather see a commando cody and less svengoolie

I doan buy nothin'. easier to get it other ways.

tcm programmers' favorite orson welles thriller? gotta be. they're sure showin' it aplenty.

yeah, but they keep exposing us to the same films. like tonite for instance, The Third Man again?

a great early science fiction film tomorry nite on svengoolie. boris Karloff is this scientist with curly hair named Ruka who likes radium. he blasts a boulder with his radium beam gun and soon he and radium are inseparable.

I think we need a guy like that in the WH... a true grassroots everyman.
