No, they didn't, and some people were vocal in their consternation about it.
Okay. I was not sure, because a lot of the titles that aired in USA did not air here in Canada.

I love this upcoming list of movies.
I own a dvd of The Cabinet of Caligari.
Some of the titles listed I have seen, others I have not.
As for the Nazi documentary maker Reifenstahl - didn't her work already air as part of the spotlight on women filmmakers?

7) Dru had three children with her first husband Dick Haymes.

I broke the toilet paper banner first. That means I win! What do I win? Free groceries? A makeover?
I don't care. I left those men in the dust.

Re:Rafifi:
One wonders if we will ever get to see this in Canada.

I seem to recall Marlon Brando got a huge sum of money for Superman.

Port of Shadows is airing later this month? When? I would look it up on the schedule, but I am not a big fan of the new look.

One can find Cooper movies here in the USA as well. But what percentage of folks in Canada watch the Silver Screen Classics channel on a regular basis? 1% or 2%?
I am not sure.
SSC is owned by a parent company that separates it channels by era. SSC has titles from the silent era up until 1969. The Rewind Channel - which has commercials throughout movies - is owned by the same company and airs movies from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

For me Wings of Desire is a masterpiece. I've seen it several times and notice something new each time. The scene in the library with Bruno Ganz resting his head against a human does me in, with the buzzing voices, all those swirling thoughts. The changes to color, the angels resting on immense angel statues, Peter Falk (surely he is now a true angel), the beautiful acrobat with her feathered wings, and earrings of wings. And gentle Bruno Ganz, with his kind, knowing eyes. Not to mention Nick Cave! Oh, to see this on the big screen one day.
The movie always leaves me overwhelmed, but I rallied to watch Alice in the Cities for the first time, sweet but not cloying. I'd read it was one in his road trilogy, so here's hoping TCM will air the other two fairly soon. Sunday night was a real treat.
I agree with you. I call it a masterpiece. No expert on foreign films, I just know when a movie is one that I will watch whenever it is on. Tastes differ between people, so I am just thrilled when a channel decides to do a variety of programming so there is something for all tastes. This does not always happen of course.

Gary Cooper movies are on a regular basis here in Canada on a channel called Silver Screen Classics.

In regards to Spence's thread, I think the reason why people mention Wayne over Cooper so often anymore is that Wayne was very vocal in his politics, his screen image, and in many ways you either love him or hate him.
There a large number of Cooper fans. There are a large number of people who take him or leave him.
I can't recall anyone having a strong negative reaction to him.
My guess only a guess.

When I first read this thread title I thought it would be about the several famous people who were not nominated for an Oscar, ever, and either got a lifetime achievement award or even did get one of those either.
The list of names of people on this list is huge.
Edward G. Robinson comes to mind.

Day made a much better suspense film with Louis Jourdan. He loved playing someone other than his usual roles.
