slaytonf Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Never completely despair. It's amazing, to think of it, the movies I've wanted to see that have shown up here. I surprised myself with how long I could hold my breath. There's That Man From Rio (1964--on again, btw, this month), the restored Metropolis (1927), the restored Funny Face (1957--finally!), The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), Plein Soleil (1960), and so many more. But others. . . .you wait, you long, you hope *sigh*. Perhaps--well, never completely despair: Charley and the Chocolate Factory (1971). About the best example anywhere of how a great actor can change an otherwise reprehensible waste of time and filmsotck into something not only worth watching, but enjoyable. Gene Wilder is brilliant, and the only thing worthwhile in it. There is a great song--no, not that one, which shall remain nameless, it's "Pure Imagination," but you don't have to watch the movie for that, it's been covered by lots of people. The Road Home (1999). Director Yimou Zhang's glowing, dreamy, recounting of the romance between a village girl and a transplanted grade-school teacher in cultural revolution-era China, occasioned by the passing in old age of the teacher. Told in flashback, with the present in black/white, and the past in golden-light suffused color (ring a bell?), it manages to tell an intimate tale of a charming love story with a bit of an epic sweep. And the ending gives you the same feeling about the human condition the the end of Ray's Apu trilogy does. Lucy and the Miracles (1970). Now, I definitely know I'll never see this one. It was one of the movies on an old TV anthology called The CBS Children's Film Festival. It's a Czech movie filled with irreverent, anti-establishment types, round-pegging it through a square-holed society. The story centers around a little orphan girl, played by what must be the most adorable child actress ever, who makes it her job to find parents for her fellow orphanage inmates. Does she find ones for herself? You'll have to watch the move to find out. (Hint: if you can understand Czech, try Vimeo.) They Might Be Giants (1971). This one is the hardest to hold with my imperative not to despair. It's almost worth trying to be a guest programmer so I can request it. It's not a great movie. It's flawed. In many places it drags, or gets silly, or can even make you cringe. But it is magnificent. And Joanne Woodward and George C. Scott give two of their best respective performances in it. The story is a modern-day, as of '71, reenactment of Sherlock Holmes' and Dr. Watson's titanic struggle with evil personified in Prof. Moriarty. They traipse around, through, up, down, and under New York in their quest, eccentric characters piling up one on the other to the extent that the center of normality shifts, and they become rational. And the supermarket scene--I'll tell you, many movies try to create zaniness. Almost all fail miserably, coming up with only awkward clumsiness. But in this movie--it works! Delightful, playful--and zany. But the ending is what it's all about, transcendence, and madness. All wrapped up in an agonizingly beautiful score by John Barry. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 BTW--- CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is the title of the Roald Dahl novel, and the 2005 film adaptation by TIM BURTON starring JOHNNY DEPP. The 1971 film musical starring GENE WILDER was titled WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. I'm not that familiar(if at all) with the other movies you mention, but sure, IF the ever get on the schedule, and if their broadcast at convenient times, and I HAVE the time, I'd give 'em a look. However, one I wound up liking(when I first saw it as an add-on to the "feature" I wound up NOT liking at all) was a suspense/thriller called DADDY'S GONE A-HUNTING" from 1969 starring PAUL BURKE and CAROL WHITE. I won't say much except that it's a "revenge" story kind of movie. I saw it at a drive-in along with the "newer" presentation of LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH('71) which near BORED me to death more than anything else. The "Daddy's Hunting" movie had me on the edge of my seat, while "Jessica" sent me over the edge of tedium. I wouldn't mind seeing IT on TCM sometime. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites
drednm Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's a Wise Child (1931) stars Marion Davies and had great reviews as a comedy romp. The film is tied up in copyright issues and is the only Davies talkie never shown on TCM. Link to post Share on other sites

I HOPE that's the only excuse, and not "The Tim Burton version was the one I saw first as a kid." ? There's been a recent shakeup over MGM/UA films suddenly being more accessible on streaming--may have even fallen into a sort of Public Domain after MGM finally went under again in '10--so I know I've seen They Might Be Giants turn up on Netflix at one point, back before things got worse. Unfortunately, the American Int'l copy of Dr. Phibes fell into ownership limbo with private DVD companies, so that's a little trickier. And thanks to music rights, we have every other orphaned 80's MGM/UA film showing up on streaming, cable and disk but not Electric Dreams (1985), which hasn't even been seen on TV since local stations showed movies.

NipkowDisc Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 HORROR OF DRACULA (1958) because there is a 2012 BFI restored cut with scenes added to Dracula's daylight disintegration demise. unlike the Americanized cut that tcm insists on showing the restored cut has the original british opening titles with a nice embellished D. tcm was so moved by the passing of Christopher Lee that they didn't procure the superior version and show it.

Hibi Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I would love for TCM to air They Might Be Giants. I saw it on tv ONCE a long time ago (cant remember if it was TCM, but I doubt it) It's a film that seems to be forgotten and bombed on release but is worth seeing (James Goldman wrote the screenplay) But it's a Universal release, so the odds of it popping up on TCM are slim........ I think the rock group took their name from the film's title. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw They Might Be Giants a couple of years ago. It's a quirky, charming comedy drama, with terrific performances about from its two lead stars. I wrote a review of it at the time and about its ending, which is a subject of speculation by most who see it, I wrote: The film's final scene will undoubtedly baffle many viewers because of its ambiguity. It's a moment that is clearly open to interpretation. But I think that scene, and this film, are about the soaring human spirit, and a belief in one's self even though logic and all around you may tell you that you are wrong. It would be lovely if TCM got the television release of this film, which is extended by ten minutes over the 88 minute theatrical release. Link to post Share on other sites

TikiSoo Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 OP: Lucy and the Miracles (1970). Now, I definitely know I'll never see this one. It was one of the movies on an old TV anthology called The CBS Children's Film Festival. It's a Czech movie Was the show was called "The CBS Children's International Film Festival"? Or possibly have different titles different seasons? There was a film once shown when I was 10 or so, also Czech, that (realized when pressed) planted the seed of inspiration for my unusual career choice. I just HAD to see it again to confirm it really was as I remembered. It took awhile to track down the title just from plot description & estimated date. AVGEEKS.com had a compilation of "naughty children" vintage films and this rarity was included! I was amazed to see 45 years later, the story was almost exactly as I remembered it-the strong images & story line. I suppose it helps that it's mostly pantomime, no language barrier. Finally! The internet is a positive thing! Link to post Share on other sites
Paula B Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have been watching old movies since I was a child and saw the Million Dollar movies on TV programmed out of NYC. You could watch them over and over again. I love TCM but greatly disappointed that they do not program and Charlie Chaplin movies. They were so entertaining, funny and dealt with cultural diversity and history without being in your face. Why are they not shown? Suggest something like a marathon like TCM has done with the wonderful Thin Man series? Just a thought....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But all his feature films have been shown often, except, I think A Countess From Hong Kong (1967). Perhaps we could see more of his earlier two reelers--aside from The Immigrant (1917), that is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DougieB Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I almost despair of ever seeing Bo Widerberg's Joe Hill (1971). It was apparently some kind of Swedish-American coproduction and released in this country by Paramount, so who knows what kinds of rights issues may be in play. I don't think it's ever had a VHS or DVD release. The only reason I've seen it was that, back in 1971, a distributor shipped the wrong movie to the local movie theater; some people just walked away but I'm so grateful I stayed to watch. A few years later I hitchhiked from Cape Cod to Boston in a snowstorm to catch it at an MIT film series showing. Widerberg and actor Thommy Berggren had worked together on Elvira Madigan (1967), which had been an art house hit with a limited general release in the U.S., but Joe Hill apparently went nowhere fast. I honestly don't know enough about the historical Joe Hill to say how factually accurate the movie was, but I do know that the memory of it has stayed with me all these years. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Well none of the movies you mention have been on TCM, according to this website http://moviecollector.us/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htm There might be some confusion: TCM has show White and Blue, but not Red. It has shown Early Spring, Late Spring, Early Summer, The End of Summer, and Late Autumn, but not An Autumn Afternoon. AMC actually did show the uncut version of Once Upon a Time in America sometime this decade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully I can find some made out of licorice like Chaplin's if this does happen. I would just be amazed...and probably be in an old folks' home by the time this occurs, due to rampant nudity and situations that go way beyond things like even "In the Realm of the Senses", "Clockwork Orange", "I Am Curious...Yellow or Blue" or anything I've ever seen. "Salo" makes "The Devil in Miss Jones*" look like a kindergarten movie by comparison. *Do not confuse with "The Devil and Miss Jones" with Jean Arthur. Link to post Share on other sites

It has shown Early Spring, Late Spring, Early Summer, The End of Summer, and Late Autumn, but not An Autumn Afternoon. AMC actually did show the uncut version of Once Upon a Time in America sometime this decade. The Website is wrong. I told you I recorded Trois Couleurs: Rouge and An Autumn Afternoon. I said I was unsure of . . . .America. But I think it was. Link to post Share on other sites
