How does Ben have anything to do with this?
Well even if he doesn't, make him watch it anyways! That'll teach the schtootze for not programming Hot Spell!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame should have won more Oscars in 1939. I like that movie even more than Gone With the Wind.

Well they're including them as part of TCM Underground. They shouldn't do away with TCM Underground because of someone's birthday. But I don't really think these are cult films (are they?)...they don't exactly seem like underground movies...they're just flops from the mid-80s.
Yeah, plus it's really hard to imagine someone turning to TCM and waiting up until the middle of the night for Garbage Pail Kids. This has to be the most "what were they thinking?" schedule choice.

Of the W&W films that were scheduled, I think my favorite is the Cuckoos. W&W's Vaudeville-ian style was a bit antiquated even for the 1930s but I think they shine through in this one. My favorite gag is probably they try to drink the beer at the border crossing.
A few of the scenes at the hotel aren't the most pc but nothing too bad. I also like that TCM showed a copy with the two-strip technicolor left in. Overall, I agree with the OP of this thread and am very grateful for the scheduling of these films.

I think the superhero movies will come to an end at least (hopefully).

And as a side note, personally I've never quite understood the fascination with Citizen Kane. I adore the cinematography, but I've always found Orson Welles to be somewhat off-putting to me (not the character of Kane, but rather Welles himself) and the plot is just not as engaging as I thought it would be. Again, that doesn't take away from the greatness of the film, I just fail to see the fascination that many of my fellow film students had with the film.
It's a great film but not even my favorite Welles' film (I prefer "the Stranger" and all of his Shakespeare adaptations).

I just went through his filmography and he did not make any westerns.
Was there a specific film you had in mind?
I was thinking of Girl Crazy (1932). I'll do an easier one-

In the 1990s/ early 2000s there was a TV channel that used to show the B&W Silly Symphony cartoons (I distinctly remember seeing the China Plate (1931) and Egyptian Melodies (1931) and loving them). I'm not sure what the channel was called though it may have been a predecessor to the Disney Channel. Anyways, that's where I saw many of those cartoons and enjoyed them and it's a shame that channel isn't around anymore.

I thought the bartender in this scene was James Finlayson but after going to the IMDB it looks like it's Monte Collins.

Hong Kong man beaten outside theater after spoiling Avengers: Endgame
Marvel fans "beat the man up to teach him a lesson"
Avengers: Endgame is the culmination of 10 years’ and 21 films’ worth of storytelling, and Marvel has gone to great lengths to limit spoilers. The film’s directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, went as far to ask fans for their discretion in an open letter, and publications (including ours) were issued strict guidelines when it came to what plot points could be disclosed in early reviews.
Fans are also taking measures into their own hands.
According to Asia One, a man outside a cinema in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong was brutally beaten after he began revealing spoilers to Endgame. The report adds,
According to Taiwanese media, a man dressed in white, who seemed to have just exited the cinema after watching the three-hour movie, started revealing spoilers loudly by the entrance.
Cinemagoers who were waiting to enter the doors were fuming and some reportedly went to beat the man up to teach him a lesson.
The photo ignited many discussions with fans claiming that “he got his just desserts served” or that they “felt good seeing this”.
The aforementioned photo can be seen below (via Asia One). Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame is in theaters now and, despite a few bad apples, is on pace to make over a billion dollars worldwide in its opening weekend.

So no one else has seen Funny Games? That's surprising to me, since it's been on TCM once or twice, and was such a ballyhooed film at the time. When no one else included it, I was thinking maybe I had the wrong year for it, so I doubled checked, and it's a '97 movie.
I actually did but I forgot that was from 1997.
