littleone Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I agree with bob39, those are some good movies. The Blondie series used to be on Saturdays, when AMC was a good channel to watch. I also would like to see Abbot & Costello and the Dead End Kids movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbeckuaf Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 TCM has shown quite a few of the Abbott and Costello flicks from time to time!!! I hope they will show more of them! I would also love to second the motion to see The Blondie series, as well as Jungle Jim flicks!!! Jungle Jim was on the schedule for a while (November) and then pulled due to some issue with the quality of the prints, I think...I hope they can get that cleared up and re-schedule them, would love to see those!!! Oh yeah, and it would totally rock if they would show the Charlie Chan series, woohoo! Hopefully both Warner Oland and Sydney Toler (they show a few films of the latter once in a great while). And Mr. Moto and Mr. Wong too!!! Those B mysteries rock the house!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsmellofsuccess Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 No, no, no. I meant The Prowler (1951) starring Van Heflin. It's said to be a terrific film-noir. I should have known that there were multiple titles named The Prowler (*smacks forehead*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandykaypax Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I second Fred's suggestion of THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE. I would love to see that film. Sandy K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LsDoorMat Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd like to see some of the very early talkies such as: Gentlemen of the Press Lights of New York The Singing Fool Hollywood Revue of 1929 On With the Show Show of Shows Sally So Long Letty They Learned About Women The Last of Mrs. Cheney (1929 version) Rio Rita (1929 version) Show Boat (1929 version) Golden Dawn TCM used to show these films so I know they still survive, but some of them haven't been aired in years. Two I've never seen on TCM but used to see on AMC on a regular basis are two of Eddie Cantor's precodes and two of my favorites: Whoopee (1930) Palmy Days (1931) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Calvin, Rio Rita and Golden Dawn have both been shown in the last two years. The 1929 version of Show Boat may have been shown but I'm not 100% sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGal53 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It would be so nice if TCM would air HANDS ACROSS THE TABLE starring Carole Lombard. Can someone tell me if this film has ever aired on the channel? May I also add my vote for THE EGG AND I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsmellofsuccess Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I believed Hands Across the Table aired on TCM a couple of years ago during a Carole Lombard tribute (Summer Under the Stars, if I'm not mistaken). I didn't get to see all of it, but it would be great to see it air again. Yet another couple of films I will add that interest me that I'd love to see on TCM: The Stalking Moon (1968) Monte Walsh (1970) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieGal53 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 <> I hear you Metropolisforever. As stated in another thread, I have been suggesting this film for quite some time. Since TCM has only been a part of my lineup for a little over a year and a half, I wasn't sure if the film had ever aired on the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
