I'm spotlighting this film because P.G. Wodehouse (one of my favorite writers) has his hands all over it. He was brought to Hollywood at the onset of sound and this is one of his works. Those Three French Girls (1930) Turner Classic Movies Jun 15 09:15am ** (Rated NR) Three attractive young women cause misadventures for visiting Americans. Dialogue by P.G. Wodehouse graces a story in his own vein. Cast: Fifi D'Orsay, Reginald Denny, Cliff Edwards. Director: Harry Beaumont. Writing credits: Frank Butler, Arthur Freed. Story by P.G. Wodehouse

Same here Fred. I already have every Harld Lloyd, Fatty Arbuckle, Charley Chase, Laural & Hardy, Chaplin film recorded to DVD that TCM will ever show again. I'm covered.

Well, I'm going to see how long I can take Valley of the Dolls tonight on Fox Movie Channel. I have had all sharp objects removes from the premise so I should survive the ordeal intact - I hope.

I cancel my Directv service each year around this time for a month in order to save some money. There is nothing on any channel worth watching anyway so I'm not missing anything.

Panoramic Productions Company only made 12 films and out of those I submit these for everyone?s approval. Princess of the Nile (1954) They reused the sets of The Robe to make it look like a high budget film. The Siege at Red River (1954) A very bad western with Van Johnson, Richard Boone. The Rocket Man (1954) A little boy comes into possession of a ray gun that compels anyone caught in its beam to tell the truth.

My suggestion at this point is to edit and clean-up the list to remove any of the films that ubiquitously show up on other channels. This way only films that rarely or never show up will be listed. These films are on other channels all the time: Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf (1985) Jaws: The Revenge (1987) Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, The (2001) Myra Breckinridge (1970) Ned Kelly (1970) Reefer Madness (1936) Valley of the Dolls (1967) Zardoz (1974)

I can imagine some really cool graphics that TCM could use to showcase this October Madness Extravaganza. On September 30 at midnight the TCM Logo comes up on the screen, a wolf howls, a woman screams, an insane mad creepy laughter begins as the Logo breaks like glass. We've picked their movies for them, we might as well do their Coming Attraction Promos for them too.

Hey TCM Programmer, how about pre-empting your programming tonight and into the weekend to run with these flicks. I checked through the TCM schedule for the weekend and there is nothing on worth keeping anyway. Everything is repeats: Hook (1991) The Princess and the Pirate (1944) Yuk! Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kid (1952) OK, but I'll pass on it. Divorce, Italian Style (1962) Seen-it. Stardust Memories (1990) Been on too many times. The rest is just repeats too boring to list so I won"t even do it.

That's one Heluva list though, I'm stocking up on a 100 pack of DVD's to record all of it!

How about Jail Bait (1954) by Edward D. Wood, Jr. or a Steve Reeves festival(Star of the Month).

Here are two films to show that the UK can make Bad films too: Your Money or Your Wife (1960) Routine comedy about a married couple whose hopes of acquiring an instantaneous fortune are suddenly dashed. Bachelor of Hearts (1958) German scholar Wolf Hauser arrives for a year at Cambridge. Apart from his studies he tries to muck in with the very English non-academic goings-on while romancing pretty Girton-girl Ann. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1968) (TV) This a great bad film by Jack Palance.

That was what was so great about American Movie Classics back in the late 80's and early 90's. They played these wonderful BAD films all the time. At the time I couldn't get TCM and I didn't care because I thought all their movies where boring and dull.

I have dial-up with Firefox 1.5.0.4 with FasterFox Page Loader and I have mine set so that Flash doesn't open. The grey circle with the f is in the center and if I want flash to open I click on the circle. All pages open quicker if flash doesn't load. The TCM Web Page uses too much Flash so I never allow Flash to open on the TCM Web Site.

Has anyone ever gone crabbing and come back home with their load of crabs to steam? If you put them into a pot of cold water and turn the heat up slowly, they don't try to jump out of the pot. If you try to put them into a pot of boiling water they try to jump out and then you have a bunch of crabs crawling around on the floor. Cooking Humans is the same way, put them into a pot of cold water first and they won't jump out of the pot. Then season to taste. Twilight Zone: "To Serve Humans".

I have about 400 movies recorded on Beta tapes that I am hoping some day, some manufacturer will come out with a Beta Player. Wishful thinking on my part, but who knows, someone might see a gold mine and jump on it.

I have to use 8x Discs in my Sony RDR-GX300 machine according to my owners manual. I bought Verbatim 16x Discs by mistake once and they worked fine so next time I got Fuji 16x Discs and my machine locked up on me (I had to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it again). Verbatim Discs must be more forgiving than Fuji Discs. According to what I have been reading it may be best to have a stand alone DVD Recorder and VCR instead of a combo because there are less things that can go bad on it. When using two stand alones, plug the VCR into Line-3 in the back of the DVD Recorder and when you want to copy a VHS tape just select Line-3 as the input on the DVD Recorder. I hope the firmware works for you and that is all that was wrong with your Panasonic.

<> It was my image of the next logical step to take place is all, a routine of newer films during prime time and older films scheduled for the off hours. I wasn't making any kind of positive or negitive judgement on the matter. I should have made that more clear.

TCM will most likly do the same as Fox Movie Channel and TCM UK having 1930's to 1970's films on at 6:00am to 6:00pm and 1980's to 2000's films on the rest of the time.

I have a Sony RDR - GX300 DVD Recorder that I have owned for 11 months and recorded over 1200 Movies on with no problem at all. This is the last good recorder that Sony made, now they out-source to Samsung and their products are all cheaply made. I visit the AVForum too to keep up with new brands: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=106 I purchased a $49.00 Philps DVD Player so that I can save my GX300 for just recording. This is an interesting item I found on the B&H web site. Sony RDR-GX300E "PAL" DVD Video at: http://www.bhphotovideo.com Maybe ask on the AVForum about it?

My vote goes to MattHelm's schedule, that is one "Dicken's" of a Christmas schedule. Throw in Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol as a surprise treat and you will bring the house down!

My favorite cult horror films are these: Castle of Blood (1964) Shivers (1975) Suspiria (1977) Tombs of the Blind Dead Return of the Blind Dead Black Sabbath (1963) Whip and the Body (1963) Spirits of the Dead(1968) Last Man on Earth (1964) Turn of the Screw (1974) Devil's Nightmare (1971) Castle of the Walking Dead (1967) House of Seven Corpses (1973)

For me classic novels by (Oscar Wilde, P. G. Woodehouse, Evelyn Waugh, John Galsworthy, Thomas Hardy, Anthony Trollope, Dickens) are always good material for remakes. In these cases they are just reinterpreting the story line with different actors, concentrating on differents aspect of the plot or giving more waite to some character in the book.

Gillian Anderson is making some really great films in the UK and Ireland.She has made a smart decision in leaving Hollywood for more serious roles, and you will be seeing much more of her work in the future.

The House of Mirth (2000) Genre: Romance / Drama - Country: UK / France / Germany / USA - Directed by Terence Davies and Writing credits Edith Wharton (novel). .

I am the same way. I like the fact that they go into my "Not Seen Yet" pile of my DVD collection. All of the channels do this, their best fare shows after midnight, and the mundane stuff is on prime time.

Caravaggio (1986) Sundance Channel Jun 06 11:35pm Runtime: 93 min Country: UK / Awards: 3 wins & 1 nomination *** (Rated NR) A tongue-in-cheek portrait of the Renaissance artist said to have invented chiaroscuro and killed the man who was his lover.
