Duck Soup was the name of a Laurel and Hardy short before the Marx bros. film. It was remade as Another Fine Mess.

I certainly don't need a criterion DVD of Princess Bride or Armageddon but neither are as w*t*f* as Tiny Furniture by Lena Dunham.

It might also explain why some of the channels in the 500s have been playing those movies a lot recently. It is a good choice for the 1,000 number. Maybe one day, the Shin Godzilla will get in the collection (it certainly deserves it).

Of all the things to get upset over

It looks like it says "lemon" so my guess is it might be the Czech film Lemonade Joe. Just a random guess though.

He was great in the Hitcher as the psychopathic killer who torments the young teen and frames him. Flesh and Blood and Ladyhawke are two great historical epics that he shines in. When he impales the evil priest you get a deep sense of satisfaction and vengeance. A really underrated one that hasn't been mentioned yet is his performance in Fatherland as SS-Sturmbannführer Xavier March. Set in an Axis controlled world order post-WWII, Rutger Hauer plays a servant of the Reich. This film heavily influenced the new TV show Man in the High Castle which is currently airing. Hauer's brilliant performance and character seems like a major inspiration on Rufus Sewell's performance.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49098435 Actor Rutger Hauer, who starred in 1982's Blade Runner, has died at the age of 75. His agent confirmed the star died in the Netherlands on Friday after a short illness. Hauer played the murderous replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and also starred Harrison Ford. The actor's funeral was held on Wednesday. His performance in Blade Runner was by far his most famous role, but he continued acting right up until this year. He also appeared in Sin City, Batman Begins and True Blood.

The hand-colored shots sound much more like a Melies film than anything from the 1930s. That practice was virtually dead at that point. In Tati's Jour de Fete, a newsreel for the US post office is shown but it is nothing like what you describe. I am not sure why anything about the US post office would include clips of things not related at all.

Jack Palance in Contempt. What a perverted, sleazeball.

"Why is the Queen moaning like that?" "The King is uh..... tickling her feet."

Another one I noticed. The man looking at the camera at :43 is from the Cremator (the scene where he visits a creepy sideshow full of the mutilated bodies of plague and syphilis victims).

The Lives of Others is a very touching film but it is very slow and depressing. I do not want to rewatch it any time soon.

That trailer reminds me a bit of Hitler's Kaput. It looks pretty good. Also I agree with you on Kevin Smith. The trailer doesn't look good and they also already did the Silence of the Lambs parody in their earlier movie (Hey remember that time we referenced a famous movie in our earlier movie? Well that's happening again). Seems like more nostalgia bait.

That is Maria from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

My favorite is the Exorcist.

This Woman is Dangerous: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Wire Hanger

The film Tevye was made in Long Island in 1939 and it certainly does not compare to the 1971 musical classic. It tells only one of the girl's stories and it doesn't even do that particularly well.

Their news coverage is terrible.

I'm not sure if the original Perils of Pauline has even been on TCM before (though I know the 1947 movie is on very often) but I would like to see the channel play it.

Chuck Workman's montages are always very good. That version is the one that appears on TCM from time to time but here is an alternative version of "100 Years at the movies" by Workman that I think is also pretty nice. This one has a few different films in it like Popeye and the Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
