ChristineHoard Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Here's a movie coming on that hasn't been on TV in years that I can recall: Blume in Love. It's the last of the Marsha Mason movies and comes on around 4AM. If you liked Bob, Carol, Ted & Alice check out Blume. It was made by the same guy (Paul Mazursky), came out around the same time and has a really good performance by George Segal. It's one of those 1970's sex comedies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thursday, November 16/17 Marsha Mason night 12:15 a.m. Promises In the Dark (1979). I haven’t seen this one. Co-starring Ned Beatty and Susan Clark. Friday, November 17/18 12:15 a.m. Mean Streets (1973). I saw this on a double bill at the cinema not knowing who Robert De Niro was. I knew after seeing this! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Saturday, November 18/19 Here’s a double bill for you … 5:15 a.m. Perversion For Profit (1965). I don't know if this is still in the line-up but this is how it read when first announced. and 5:30 a.m. A Visit To Santa (1963) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it was "released" to everyone in 1965. Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Tomorrow, November 18, there are a few highlights: Donovan's Brain (1953) is one of the best movies of the 1950's featuring a future First Lady looking at a brain in an aquarium. Lew Ayres and Gene Evans look at it, too. Plus, it's seamlessly followed by that immortal short film, The Corvair In Action! (1960). Late night on TCM Underground, Black Mama, White Mama (1972) features the excellent pairing of Pam Grier and Margaret Markov as the titular muthas. It's The Defiant Ones but cheaper and with more boobs. That's followed by Hit Man (1973). Tune in to honor the recently departed Bernie Casey. Stay for Pam Grier. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Sunday, November 19/20 2:15 a.m. Marketa Lazarova (1967). I have a copy of this Czech film but still have yet to watch it. It’s 3 hours. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Monday, November 20 8 p.m. Salt of the Earth (1954). A really good feature produced by a Union! Everyone associated with this film was blacklisted including Will Geer. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Tuesday, November 21 Ralph Meeker films by day but no Paths of Glory. 10 a.m. Glory Alley (1952). Boxing film with Meeker and Leslie Caron. 10:30 p.m. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957). This David Lean film is in my top ten of all time. Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Recommendation for early Tuesday morning: Teresa (1951). Outstanding performance by Pier Angeli as the Italian bride of a GI (John Ericson) who marries her in a bombed-out Italian village and then brings her home to face the wrath of his possessive mother (Patricia Collinge). Some scenes make use of a documentary technique. Fred Zinnemann made a sort of unofficial cycle of films about the war and its aftermath, and all are worth seeing. Noir lovers shouldn't miss Odds Against Tomorrow, one of Robert Wise's best-directed films. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It has noir icons Robert Ryan and Gloria Grahame, and Harry Belafonte, who gets to sing a song (the entire jazz score to the film is great). Oh, and I'm a fan of Teresa, a very touching film. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Wednesday, November 22 11:15 a.m. The Mountain Road (1960). Apparently not so good but I’ve never seen this WWII Jimmy Stewart picture. Link to post Share on other sites

These are the only two Stewart movies in the monthly spotlight that I haven't seen or have recorded already. Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineHoard Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thank you for mentioning Odds Against Tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. This morning I watched The Shadow in the Sky which had a good performance by Ralph Meeker as a WW2 vet dealing with PTSD (used to be called shell shock). Jean Hagen, James Whitmore and Nancy Davis were the supporting cast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, there were a lot of b--bs on display in Black Mama. It had its moments but too much revolution fighting bogged it down. Makes you wonder what kind of career Pam Grier would have had with better vehicles. I recorded Hit Man, but havent watched it yet............ Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thursday, November 23 Many in today’s lineup have been on TCM an awful lot. But I’ll go with … 1:30 p.m. Places In the Heart (1984). I’d like to see it again for John Malkovich’s performance. 3:30 p.m. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn (1945). Really good Elia Kazan film with an amazing performance from Peggy Ann Garner. Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Bogie, I think A Tree Grows in Brooklyn keeps getting better on rewatching. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Friday, November 24 Matthew Modine is the Guest programmer. It might be interesting to hear what he has to day about … 8 p.m. The Dirty Dozen (1967). Not a very PC war film if there is such a thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Saturday, November 25/26 12:15 a.m. The Best Man (1964). The “dirty side of politics.” They hadn't seen anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Sunday, November 26/27 2 a.m. Fists In the Pocket (1965). IMO this Marco Bellochio film is well worth a look. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Saturday, November 25/26 When the schedule was announced this was TBA ... 2:15 a.m. Wild Seed (1965). With Michael Parks. This is pretty good and finding a good copy has not been easy. Link to post Share on other sites

I like biopics, even if they're not very accurate. Two for the Road (1967). As often as this is on, I've never seen it, so I'll DVR it and watch it later this week. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
