NBC Universal ruined Bravo and The Sci-Fi channel when they bought them out so I'm not counting on much out of anything they start up.

FMC has improved a lot during the past three months. All the classic movies are on in the mornings as mentioned. Jane Eyre was on Tuesday and repeats Nov. 13th. It Happens Every Spring (1949) with Ray Milland is on 10:00AM Friday and Johnny Apollo (1940) with Tyrone Power showing at 3:00PM. King of the Khyber Rifles (1953) with Tyrone Power is on Saturday at 10:00AM.As far as LB goes they do both, The King and I was on twice in LB and twice in P/S.

MISTER ROBERTS, EAST OF EDEN, WAIT UNTIL DARK, WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, THE BAD SEED, BONNIE AND CLYDE, have all aired on Cinemax and HBOS during the past six months. If TCM aired them nobody would subscribe to HBO because these are the only good films they have on.

Thanks TCMProgrammer about recent films, I agree with you that they should also be represented along with classic films. I enjoy seeing them because they are in LB and uncut. When they are shown elsewhere they are P/S and edited for content.

Jane Eyre (1944) airs on FMC Nov. 2 at 2:00PM and on Nov. 13 which stars Joan Fontaine and Orson Wells.

About two weeks ago I watched Charley Rose and they were discussing HD and the reason most channels will never be in HD. The HDNet CEO said that Comcast wants to carry them but they can't because of bandwidth problems and that channels that come to the table too late will never be HD. DirecTV compresses their HD signal in order to carry what they do carry and even they cannot add anymore of them.Voom started up to early before enough people had HDTV's, and that's why they were taken over by Dish*. For me the important thing that was talked about was that many channels do not need to be HD and should not try to be. For movies to be OAR is the important thing also, only Showtime and HDNet do this, and any channel which refuses to show films in OAR should not be allowed to be HD.

For some reason I have to use Firefox to log in and post, IE won't work for me. It jumps back to the guest setting when I try to post. I love Firefox though so I don't mind having to use it ( no more Ads to bother with from websites, Adblock is so cool!) --- now---- Like some have said, more of the rare films from the 1920's - 1930's (Warner and RKO) but still in the library. I like this era the best.

I haven't seen a Mr. Motto movie in over 15 years, I'll have to be on the look out for them when they come out.

I watched and recorded THE SKELETON OF LOST CADAVRA off of Encore sometime back, it is a funny and enjoyable movie. I'll stay out of California if you stay out of Virginia, just kidding. Lets all start funding France, The UK, and China's space program, they have all of the best engineers anyway (as a teacher you probably already know this).

Can't you set your computer to region 2 so that you can watch movies that are not released here in the USA? I can on mine.

My schedule for channels I'm watching or recording to DVD this weekend are; Smoke - Flix American Heart - Showtime Showcase Frenzy - TCM A Foreign Affair (2003) - TMC The Wicker Man - IFC Paperhouse - IFC Dolores Claiborne - ShowToo The Lodger (1926) - TCM The Legend of Hell House - FMC A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - TMC Plus I have 4 DVD's that arrived from Netflix to watch. The point is that the choices are so many that it is hard to keep up with. I know you watch other commercial free channels besides TCM like everyone else (Sundance, IFC, FMC, TMC, Flix, Showcase, ShowToo, Showtime, etc).

So you wish to go back to a possible alternative view of a 1950's, one preferably where a human being named Elvis Presley was never born. You understand of course that you will no longer exist in this time line, along with any memory or history along with Elvis. Neither of you were ever born, you can not displace yourself, nor meet yourself therefore that which was you will disappear. You will not have parents there either, you will be on your own alone. And since you have caused ripples, I can not say what you will find there, it will not be the same timeline that we in this one remember. And we in this one will change also, when you catch up again with this time period please write a book are something to try and let us know what happened. Since Einstein has proven that time travel is possible and probable, someone will have to crapple with this I guess.

Actually we live in parallel universes with different time and space continuums. This one is just a fraction of the dimensions that exists. It would scare the hell out of you if you could see what is all around you that you are not conscious of. Time and space shifters are those beings that are able to transverse between the different continuums, modifying and changing outcomes to best benefit their continuum. The ending of one provides more to another, also to cause ours to end would cause another to be formed. The reason for this is that matter is neither created nor destroyed (Einstein) only displaced and recycled. Keep thinking in linier time, ignorance is bliss. Portals are areas of weakness in the spacetime fabric (doors which open and close) allowing the overlapping of the continuums. They are always moving, never constant, keeping each continuum distinct. Shifters are able to utilize these portals by discerning the changes in antimatter convergence. I would say more but then I have already said too much......

What is happening is that your cable company is running out of capacity and TCM is on a channel where the effects are noticeable. Here in central Va, Comcast Cable is running out too, and so many people complained that they moved TCM to a lower analogue channel number (still analogue, that's enough to switch to D* by itself!). If your cable company still has analogue channels and TCM is one of them, then you should see if they will move TCM to a digital channel. D* and Dish* have all digital channels, that would solve your problem.

One movie a month? OK here is mine: Demon Seed Julie Christie is the wife of a brilliant scientist who finds herself forcibly impregnated by a computer that has developed evil ideas of its own.

What about MGM British Studio movies that air on TCM UK that say they are in the Library when you do a search on the TCM UK site and come up blank when you do a search on the TCM USA site. The Fixer is an example, a MGM movie made in 1968 and starring Alan Bates and Dirk Bogarde, Directed by John Frankenheimer. It is in the TCM Library but only on the TCM UK site. Does TCM devide their library up between the two and what is on one can't be shown on the other? I wish we could see a listing of the films in the library listed by title from A to Z.

Some idiot from NY was abusing it, he made about 50 requests for the same movie so I gave up even trying with mine. I think we are better off requesting movies here on the board.

A Foreign Affair (2004) When their mother, who had always done all of their cleaning, dies, two brothers (Arquette, Nelson) go on a "romance tour" of Russia to meet prospective women that the younger brother can marry to bring back home to America to help them back on the farm, which captures the attention of a documentary filmmaker (Mortimer). Genres: Comedy and Drama Running Time: 1 hr. 25 min. Release Date: March 26th, 2004 (LA/NY) MPAA Rating: PG-13 for some sexual references. Distributor: Innovation Film Group, Zenpix Netflix has it if this is the movie. It is on DVD so you will have no trouble finding it.

The Wicker Man (1973) Message was edited by: allieharding

Another one I remember is "The Plane that Dissapeared". Every Saturaday night at midnight a sci-fi/horror show came on in my area called Hazel the Witch, this was in the late 1960's. TCM only airs the well known films which are not my favorites. I like the B-movie sci-fi films better. So maybe TCM should have the worst sci-fi films ever because they would be the best.

The old AMC use to show all of these movies. I have Tarantula and Attack of the 50 ft.Women to name a few, recorded on VHS Tape from those great old days when they where the best channel on TV. I pull them out every Halloween and watch them because good sci-fi movies like these don't air anymore. I'm just sorry that I recorded them in EP mode, if I could go back and do it again I would have done them in SP mode.

This movie aired 10/12 on MoreMax and airs many more times on ThrillerMax if you are able to get that channel from your profider. This film is way over due for a DVD release, I agree with you on that. Because it was filmed in (Techniscope) may be the reason they are holding back. Many of the scenes of the Martian surface were filmed at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, California. The Martian spacecraft are left-overs from The War of the Worlds (1953). Director Byron Haskin was involved in both projects, although George Pal is often given sole credit for the earlier classic. While filming in Death Valley, the cast and crew were ordered not to touch any of the plant life due to the fact that they were filming in a national park area and most of the plant life was federally protected.

This Billy Wilder film is released through Universal Studios and Showtime, The Movie Channel, Flix and Sundance have leasing rights for most of the Universal Studios films. This means that TCM is not able get this movie anymore. Starz has rights to Touchstone, HBO and Cinemax the rights to 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. Since Viacom and Time Warner are competitors, it's not likely that they would be willing to relinquish these leasing rights.

This is one of my favorite horror movies that will be airing of Fox Movie Channel: If you have not seen it than record it.
