But originally TCM had scheduled Desperate Living (1977) by John Waters. I have always found THE FOG To be a desperately uninteresting horror film, it’s basically a made for TV movie that got a theatrical release, And it misses all sorts of opportunities to deliver on some real HORROR. DESPERATE LIVING is ****ing NUTS THO- Both literally and figuratively the darkest film I think John Waters ever made. So I’m not really sure if this replacement on the schedule is a trade up or more of a lateral move. Link to post Share on other sites
Polly of the Precodes Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Bogie56 said: Sunday, November 29/30 2 a.m. The Great Beauty (2013). This Italian film got great reviews and won many awards but it didn’t do much for me the first time that I saw it. Eye candy to die for, but the story is the sort of sphinx that has no secret. 11/30/20, Midnight: The TCM premiere of Too Many Kisses (1925). Featuring Richard Dix, and in a supporting role Harpo Marx as "The Village Peter Pan." I saw this at Capitolfest two years ago; it's a nicely done comedy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Monday, November 30 Shelley Winters SOTM 2 a.m. Blume In Love (1973). Decent Paul Mazursky film with George Segal. Has Segal ever been SOTM? Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Tuesday, December 1 Dana Andrews day. 8 a.m. Sealed Cargo (1951). Nazis make the mistake of tangling with Canadian fishermen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thursday, December 3/4 4:15 a.m. The Gunfighter (1950). One of Gregory Peck’s best performances IMO. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

AndreaDoria Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Well, tonight at eight is Baby Face and I'm looking forward to watching it for the third time. I always wonder if the phrase "sleeping her way to the top," came from this film. Link to post Share on other sites

Baby Face and Night Nurse (with an early Gable as a major cad) are two very gritty pre-code films. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer5 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'm recording The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck. It's airing tonight/Friday at 1:15am. I hadn't even heard of this film until Criterion released their own restoration a few months ago. I'd like to see this film to see if it's worth adding to my Criterion collection. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TomJH Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 What I noticed about the Laurel and Hardy shorts scheduled for Monday is that many of the early ones are silents, with BIG BUSINESS and TWO TARS perhaps the most noteworthy of them. To the best of my knowledge, unlike the boys' sound shorts, no company has issued DVD releases of their silents that really do them justice as far as quality is concerned. Used copies of The Lost Films of Laurel and Hardy, which featured their silents, now sell for big bucks as the discs are no longer produced. And the images of the silents even in that series is mediocre, at best. I wonder if the silent prints to be shown by TCM will be better than what is currently available in the DVD market. Meanwhile Canadians with TCM, as usual, don't get access to Hal Roach Studios, therefore get stuck with the Bowery Boys. What have we done to be so punished? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This was a big favourite when I was a kid. Same here. Love this film and I still watch it whenever it comes on. Just a very good adventure film with good performances by the actors and maybe the best by Davis hubby Gary Merrill and Herbert Lom. Of course what made me love this film as a kid, was the Ray Harryhausen stop motion animation. The giant crap you feature is one of best stop motion scene ever (second to the skeletons in Jason). Also the plot \ storyline is very solid. E.g. How Lom feels toward mankind and why he is on the island. Just a very well made film that rises above 90% of similar efforts by others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
