Could it have been Laurel and Hardy in Bonnie Scotland or Beau Hunks? Both films end with a stand off between the Brits in the Fort and the natives who are attacking.

The whole morning has some very good L&H films. Of the ones I've seen I'd recommend Way Out West the most. I hope to see Pardon Us too. I don't think I've seen it before and it hasn't been on TCM in quite a long time!

"spoiler alert" -
is it a masterpiece or is it a mistake -
I consider it a mistake. It's 3 hours of a woman walking around and doing dishes. The only interesting part of the movie is at the very end. I get what it's trying to say but that doesn't make it a "good movie" in my opinion.

There's a biopic coming out with Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly that I would guess might have helped inspire this programming.
Yeah, I've heard of it but haven't seen it yet. I really want to see it though.

“THE CHILDREN ACT”: ON THE INCOMPARABLE EMMA THOMPSON
And the wise in the end will
Often bow to the beautiful.
— HölderlinThere is no comparing Emma Thompson.
I say this with a pronounced certainty that, should one be inclined to doubt it, is currently on screen with a heart-searing intensity in one of her most recent films: The Children Act, directed by Richard Eyre, which premiered in Toronto in 2017 and this Fall, 2018, in New York. The intensity comes in the course of the film and not where Emma Thompson cries as she does at the end — she is better at crying than most actors, inasmuch as the exigence of being incomparable does not, as she plainly understands, exclude unhinged devastation. Emma Thompson does not sob or weep in the fashion we audiences recognize as the way of ladies of the silver screen, a single tear streaming: Thompson bawls, searing, gulping, awful moments, almost unbearable, as if she had in this fashion torn the celluloid away before our eyes: revealing the naked life beneath.
In The Children Act, carrying on as one does after public humiliation, playing one’s part as this is expected of one, the actor acts the judge acting as if nothing had happened and as everything comes undone. This time, her loathsome straying husband is in the same room, right there with her on a divan updated from Les Liasons Dangereuse, as she gulps out her — and our — desolation in the face of wretchedness, of death and the vanity of opposing this, of ideal visions and real impossibilities, abandoned to the untender comforting of that same awful spouse who left and betrayed her and had the temerity to return, insisting on his right to a new start. But for Emma Thompson’s Judge Fiona Maye there is no new start. Unredeemable, the end is as real and as bleak as that in The Remains of the Day, too late, too little, and far worse than the savage blankness of nothing at all.

Yes, looks like on the 11th they will show Registry films they already know about from previous announcements, and then on the 12th select from the new ones.
One thing I've wondered is if TCM has 'inside sources' so they get an early heads up on what will be announced on the big day in December. For that evening's intros, Ben typically does a sit-down with someone from the Registry, so it would be interesting to find out when those sequences are actually recorded.
Hopefully there will be some premieres this year.

Also the auto notification is broke. I never received notices of replies.
Yeah, sometimes it doesn't work for me either. It's more of an on and off thing. There are a few technical bugs.

On December 6th, TCM will be showing a day of Laurel and Hardy films. Some of them haven't been on TCM in a while (like Pardon Us!). I'll be sure to record the entire day. Laurel and Hardy are one of my favorites.
It's another nice mess that I won't miss!

The Bells of Death - Hong Kong action star Yi Chang plays "Wei Fu" a man whose family is slaughtered by bandits. They kidnap his sister too so he trains and works to rescue her. He tracks down her killers and kills them off one by one before going against the whole gang all by himself. Along the way he finds a wife. The choreography in this one is pretty mediocre at times but that just adds to the charm. One cool scene is where Wei Fu and a bandit fight in candle light with the candles held on the tips of their swords. This is a very good action film and I recommend it.

Of course some of us remember watching him as Vicki Lawrence's son on Mama's Family.
R.I.P.
My grandma loved that show and showed it to me a few times. I never really cared for it much but he was enjoyable in that role as you said. One of the better parts of the show.

A saturday without Popeye is a saturday I do not want.
And a good cartoon too with Popeye constructing an entire bridge by himself and Wimpy leaving Popeye to be tortured by Bluto. Also one of the rare instances where Bluto is mean to Olive Oil too (of course usually he tries to kiss up to her).
