Yes, that would have been a great choice.

I was looking at December's schedules. Why on earth would TCM choose an asinine movie like Overboard with Goldie Hawn on "Man Overboard" night when they could show something worthwhile in that theme like Lifeboat or Bed of Roses (1933 not the Christian Slater movie)?
-
Definitely a "must record" since I won't be up at 1:30am pacific time.
-
That is very interesting. DOA is one of my favorite movies.

"My point was that those who regularly complain about how prime time on TCM is filled with stuff they don't like might want to consider getting a device that makes the concept of prime time irrelevant."
I already do that, but I feel it is unfortunate that I have to do this and can't just turn on TCM after a day's work and sit and watch it. Luckily I have many hundreds of movies recorded and will be dropping TCM in the next few months.
Back to the topic, Brief Encounter, Plaza Suite, and The Producers get quite a bit of play in my opinion.

My daughters and I made pumpkin pies last night, we are making apple this morning - then to the big stuff.

Just so you know, you are wrong. I called "him" a troll because he follows me around and whenever I post my opinion - which is the opposite of his- he makes snide remarks. It is the camp that can't handle anything being said against TCM that flies off the handle when something is said. I love TCM since it is the only channel left with my old movies, but I am not happy with the increase of modern movies, and I should be able to say so without being told that someone is tired of my posts and that I should get a new screen name because this one isn't fitting. I have decided to ignore him from now on.

Buster Keaton?
-
Ride the Pink Horse is not available, and I have been asking TCM to show this one again but I don't see it coming up.
Most Veronica Lake movies are real hard to come by too.
-
So Fred, have you lost your accent?
-
You keep asking for it. I don't insult people that don't do it first, and you insist on singling me out and being quite rude every time. I haven't insulted anyone else in this thread, just you. They said you weren't a troll but I beg to differ.
From now on you are on my ignore poster list, so all your asinine remarks will be ignored by me.

A precode festival would make me very happy.
-
Well, while I still have a lot of breath in me, I will continue wasting it.
otterhere I wish they would do that, but I won't hold my breath.
-
So I guess everyone who has posted that they notice a lot more of the newer movies in the schedule are making this all up? I truly have noticed more of the newer movies in the last year, and because of this I rarely watch TCM anymore. Granted this month happens to be a little better but look ahead to the next 3 months.

Sorry brad, didn't realize you were blind. Just read any of mongo's, path40's, lzcutter's, tcmprogrammers, sam therapy's, jonparker's, etc. posts and you will see the proclamations that TCM has not changed since its inception.
Oh yes, brad your village is still calling.

"To get around the problem of not having enough studio era films on a digital format that they can broadcast, they realize that they do have post-1960 films that they can run. They also start reaching out to other studios to rent/lease films that they can add to their programming.
They discover that when they take a big tent approach to the films they show -Films from the 1920s to the 1990s - their viewership increases."
At least you admitted it, now I know I'm not going crazy. Others have been insisting that TCM hasn't changed one bit since the beginning - thank you.
-
Thanks Fred, that is interesting - I just love plantations and their history.
-
Funny but true!
-
Only those that are more of an R rating are on late (which is not often) but all the others are on at primetime.
-
Wow, that must have been quite an experience!
-
I do admit that November had more of the older movies at prime time but that is not usually the case. And I don't know how you can say that they don't always show the newer movies at primetime, I don't remember seeing any listed during the day or the middle of the night. My primetime is pacific time, and I just know from experience that the newer movies are shown at primetime and the weekends.
-
I am wondering why you didn't ask the others on this thread this question, as they have the same gripe that I do. I guess you just won't leave me alone no matter what.
There are a few old movies here and there at primetime, but ALL of the new movies are on at primetime.

Larry, how did you get to be on the set of Showboat? and why didn't you like Frank?

I have to disagree with you there mrsl. I am in that age group, a working stiff that would love to come home and watch movies from the golden age, not movies from the 80's and 90's. I also have to say that just because something is a certain age (25 years?) does NOT make it a classic. It's not true for cars and it's not true for movies. How many classic cars can you name from the 80's?? None. Style is what makes it classic not the age. Since those cars were mostly garbage there are no classics, just like the movies from the last 40 years - not many classics due to the high amount of garbage being churned out.

This has been my favorite Christmas movie since I was a child.
