classiccinemafan Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Did I miss something ? why did TCM show two Italian movies last night? I'm not complaining. Only curious. Was it some director's birthday or some thing ? i enjoyed both movies. I couldn't stay awake to see the second half of The Children Are Watching. I seen the last half this morning 'cause I DVRed it. Before any one responds and says soemthing nasty to me, read what I typed above. I ENJOYED BOTH FILMS. I enjoyed the second movie more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM108 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sunday nights are when TCM shows at least one silent film and at least one foreign film. They've been doing this for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccinemafan Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I know that, but two movies ? What are they doing making up for a missed week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Apparently TCM had to give some equal time to the Italian lobbyists to counterbalance the flood of Irish films being shown today. (Shirley, I joke ) Glad you enjoyed both films so it wasn't a waste of your time. Even if for some reason you hadn't liked the films you have the right to say so, just do it in a civil manner.

AndyM108 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Again, they often show more than one silent and / or foreign movie between midnight Sunday night and 6:00 AM Monday. If you haven't noticed this by now, you probably just haven't been paying it much attention, and understandably so given the late hour. For some of us, this is the best time slot of the week, because unlike prime time, it's seldom movies that have been shown 100 times already.

FredCDobbs Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I leave my bedroom TV on all night, tuned to TCM, with the sound turned down. I usually wake up two or three times in the middle of the night. Last night or early this morning I woke up, opened my eyes, and saw some guys in Irish clothes doing a blackface song and dance routine. Then I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. One morning I woke up and saw a naked girl, but I fell asleep again. One morning I woke up and saw a bunch of pornography photos from the 1950s or 60s, with some guy preaching against poronography photos. He showed many of them as an example of the kind that should not be seen. I then fell asleep again. Some weird stuff comes on TCM in the middle of the night.

classiccinemafan Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I enjoyed The Children are watching more. Couldn't understand the other one. Can't even remember the name of it. All I know is it had Giletta Masina in it. Young too. Edited by: classiccinemafan on Mar 17, 2014 11:39 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
