Samraat - In this Bollywood film, a cast of odd characters meet up to find the ship Samraat and get the gold aboard it. The former captain had been running an illicit scheme and the daughter hires two men to find the ship. Of course the men realize the ship has gold and each wants to find the gold for their own ends and they are willing to work together for it. This one tries way too hard to be funny but the jokes just fall flat to me. I'm also not a fan of the lame, musical interludes. This one is worth a 4/10.

Wolmi Island - This Korean war film is laughably bad propaganda. It shows the defense force of an island fighting against the US and its allies during the Korean war. Of course the Koreans are depicted as valiant heroes who inflicted a whopping 13 ship casualty on the enemy.
This is only really interesting if you want to see what their cinema is like but even then I would recommend other, better made films. This one is terrible.

Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922) - 12:00 AM ET - This week's Silent Sunday feature is this German crime epic that made Fritz Lang's name. It's 4 and a half hours long, but is slotted in a 2-hour space, so...
This one was released in two parts, each two hours long, so it may be only one part.

I'm guessing this was a goof, but maybe Zeffirelli made two versions?
No, it was goof. Sorry, it was very late at night.
I'll take care of it.

Just a few that I find particularly abhorrent out of a genre that I generally dislike:
- Man of La Mancha
- Hello, Dolly!
- Oliver!
- Sound of Music
- Annie
- The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
- Into the Woods (2014)
- Beauty and the Beast (2017)
- Star!
- Finian's Rainbow
- Most mid-to-late period Elvis movies
- Mary Poppins
I get the dislike of Elvis' movies but Elvis: That's the Way It Is will always be my favorite of his films.

Interesting interview with actor Michael Horse from a few years back, I found. In the interview, he discusses his work in Twin Peaks, the Cowboy and the Frenchman, North of 60, and various Hollywood westerns he worked in. It's pretty interesting.

I'm not sure if this one has been on TCM before but if it has, it must have been a long time ago.

I hate the family pictures like Life With Father where it's just a family sitting around being gooey-gooey and lovey to one another. It makes me want to vomit.

To the Stars By Hard Ways - A team of scientists find a clone in a deserted space station in this Soviet sci fi film. She is brought back to live with a family and learns she has odd powers. Gradually she comes to learn some unnerving things about her past. Yelena Metyolkina is very good as the robot in this though she did not go on to star in very many films. This film is worth a look.

Could the board game be the Game of Life - a 2007 film starring Tom Arnold? Doesn't look like the kind of thing I would pick for Criterion but it does fit.
There are also several films called Monopoly but none of them seem particularly important enough that Criterion would release them.

Many viewers like Winter Light better than I do, but the scene with Max van Sydow is so great that I was surprised to discover how little screen time MvS actually had. Sven Nykvist's cinematography is, as usual, outstanding.
The Silence, which has a lesser reputation, appeals to me more. The boy in a strange country wandering the hotel corridors seeing strange people--big influence on The Shining? Also the hotel in Barton Fink?
Winter Light is one of my favorite Bergman films. I like that the ending can be interpreted as either pro-atheism or pro-religion depending on how you look at it.
This is only really interesting if you want to see what their cinema is like but even then I would recommend other, better made films. This one is terrible.
