Stevomachino Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wednesday, March 23 We have a nice day of Akira Kurosawa films tomorrow. I'm especially interested in: No Regrets for Our Youth (1946) This is one I've not seen, so it should be a treat. All the other films being shown are highly recommended! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not as stylized as his later films, it has very good performances, particularly from the wonderful Setsuko Hara. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wednesday, March 23 Happy birthday, Akira! Wow, a whole day of Kurosawa. I’ve seen all of them so here are my favourites… 10:30 a.m.. The Seven Samurai (1954). One of the all-time greats. 5:15 p.m. High and Low (1963) with Toshiro Mifune again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Seven Samurai and High and Low are the only two airing that I've seen, so I'm going to be scrambling to catch the other three. I've especially wanted to see Stray Dog (1949). Going from Kurosawa to comic serial movies makes this a TCM day for the books; though it might be a bit up-side down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thursday, March 24 March is only getting better. A day of Steve McQueen movies. Happy Birthday, Hilts! In the U.S. you get … 2 p.m. The Cincinnati Kid (1965). The entire cast is great starting with McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann-Margret and Joan Blondell as dealer, Lady Fingers. Directed by Canuck, Norman Jewison. Quebecer, Emile Genest appears as ‘Cajun.’ In Canada, you get that little known McQueen replacement … Escape From Fort Bravo (1953). 12:15 a.m. Those Lips, Those Eyes (1980) with Frank Langella. 2:15 a.m. The Wicker Man (1973) a favourite of lots of people here. Too bad it has been bumped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thurs/Fri, March 24th-25th; A film better known by a Different title (to me, at least) is CONDEMNED--All times are E.S.T.: 11:45 a.m. "The Magnificent Seven" (1960)--Western redo of "Seven Samurai" (1954), with an Oscar nominated score by Elmer Bernstein--fun watch. 2:15 a.m. "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural" (aka "Lemora: The Lady Dracula") (1973)--I KNEW I'd heard the word Lemora in a film title before, but as the "aka". HOW is Sister Rose going to explain a Southern Gothic/Folk/Wanna-Be European Art/Vampire Film in three minutes or less?? I've Got to stay up and hear this (that?). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well, I'm learning an awful lot just from that picture. I see no reason to condemn a photo of a guy who looks like a 12-year old in his undies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Friday, March 25 4 a.m. Night Song (1947). This Merle Oberon film sounds a bit cheesy but it has Dana Andrews in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Saturday, March 26 noon. Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) with Richard Burton and Genevieve Bujold. I don’t think this has been on very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sunday, March 27 2:45 p.m. Barabbas (1962). Anthony Quinn is quite good in this one. 3 a.m. Persona (1967) One of my favourite Ingmar Bergman films. 4:30 a.m. The Virgin Spring (1960) Featuring a good Max Von Sydow performance. But watch out for Brigitta Valberg as the Mother, Mareta Tore and Gunnel Lindbloom as Ingeri, or Ingrid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Barabbas for the first time last year during his SOTM. I was quite impressed and was surprised it was not as famous to the average viewer/fan of biblical epics. I'm not a big fan of the genre but I know someone who is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr6666 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 hipsters and kool kids should check out Smithereens late nite (2:30 AM EST) now I have actually seen this one & it's pretty good, but frankly getting tired of the UNDERGROUND's obsession with the punk rock scene. Let's get a little more variety here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 All times E.S.T.: 6:00 a.m.--"The Silver Chalice" (1954)--Paul Newman called this film the worst of the 1950's. I'll view to see if he was right. 8:00 p.m.--"Easter Parade" (1948)--Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, and Ann Miller--wonderful film, if anyone hasn't seen it.

film lover 293 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Fedya--Abar has a rating of 3.9 on imdb, and a 25% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes--should be very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The treasure of the month for me is coming up in about half an hour. 'The Driver' (1978) Thank you, TCM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limey Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 now I have actually seen this one & it's pretty good, but frankly getting tired of the UNDERGROUND's obsession with the punk rock scene. Let's get a little more variety here. Be thankful that the Underground has never yet developed an obsession with the likes of Justin Bieber. Next week brings Abar, the First Black Superman, which sounds hilariously bad. Abar delivers exactly the kind of things you're most likely going to be looking for in a blaxploitation flick - though IIRC, (and without too much of a spoiler), it also attempts to drive it's point home via use of a plot device also used in a certain Claudette Colbert movie recently discussed on these forums - which was something of an unexpected touch. As an aside, did anyone else take advantage of the session of animation movies that TCM aired the other day, before primetime? There were some goodies in there, including Magic Boy (the MGM-ized release of Shōnen Sarutobi Sasuke, Gulliver's Travels, Twice Upon a Time (one of my all time favorites) & Watership Down (probably the first animation I ever watched, not aimed squarely at young kids). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
