In Judgement at Nuremberg- every Nazi in it, especially the ones who were in jail very briefly and then released when the Cold War started.
Real Nazis.

Just think: Decades from now, long after we are dead, this movie may be the only thing for which we are remembered. Why couldn't we be in an "A" budget film?

The Nazis who pitchfork people in the trucks in The Great Escape. And, well, Nazis in general. And no, I don't mean the fictional characters.

Thank you Barton. I will be sure to set my DVR as I'll be at work at 5pm. I really like Sophia Loren, though I've never seen any of her Italian films.
Her Italian films are a delight. In her native language, she is amazing.
May I suggest:
TWO WOMEN - as your introduction to Sophia Loren in Italian. She has done wonderful in English language films, but as is the case with anyone who makes films in a second tongue, movies made in the mother tongue is always more natural and freeing.

10) The lost Weekend is a cautionary tale about alcoholism that paired with films like The Days of Wine and Roses can show the serious side of addiction. There is an irony to these films because of the TCM Wine Club. But it does not mean that people can't drink wine or advertise wine. It is simply ironic.

Would you rather make a movie musical or appear in a stage musical? This would be as an actor/actress rather than any other aspect of the production.

The Can't Edit it Properly (?) Collection:
1. Singin' in the Rain - the editors thought that the scene where the silent movie was out of sync was supposed to be in sync. It wasn't meant to be. "No, No, No!" "Yes, Yes, yes!"
2. Touch of Evil - Orson Welles wanted the movie to be edited differently at the beginning of the movie so that the credits would not be over the action at the beginning of the movie. It wasn't until after Welles died that Welles fan restored the movie to the way Welles wanted it.
3. She (1935 version) - A great attempt to make special effects appear normal had great special effects for fire scenes, but got a little out of hand for ice scenes. It appears that a man frozen in ice looks like the head of a puppy dog.

From From Hand to Mouth (1919) to M (1931), TCM appears today to have rolled out an entire 24 hour period with not a scheduled frame of technicolor to be seen (not counting wine club/cruise promos & the like). I guess that this might have been a more common occurrence in times when the programming may have learned more towards the 1st half of the 20th century, but it struck me that I couldn't recollect seeing quite so many B/W features in one grouping, as are on offer today.
Looking forward to watching/recording M, as it'll be a first time view for me.
You are in for a TREAT, Limey. M is fantastic.

Be sure to see Richard Widmark in Night and the City (1950). Great really dark noir film. He's great in it !
I've seen it. It has been years since I saw it, but it is fantastic. This is the movie where Widmark talked about always being hungry whn he was on the set. There was food rationing there.
I need to see this again. Thanks for reminding me.

Okay, so back to silly pitchforking:
The Weather network when they get their forecasts incorrect.
