slaytonf Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I guess this is just a way of complaining indirectly. Considering what TCM has provided over the years, I have little cause. But that won't keep me from it. I've suggested these from time to time over time, and once one was ever-so-cruelly dangled tantalizingly before me, only to be heartlessly yanked away. . . .ah, well: They Might Be Giants That Man From Rio The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe Start the Revolution Without Me Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory The Road Home Seven Men From Now Destry Rides Again The list can grow. (Yes, some have aired in the past, but it would be nice to see them again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The Road Home is available on Netflix, does that count? Probably not, you want them on TCM, okay. A lovely little film by the master director Zhang Yimou. The movie owes a great deal to the young female lead, who is adorable. Clem Kadiddlehopper (sp?) might have directed with success, so long as he had this probably young and experienced actress in the lead. (sorry I have no name). She didn't need no experience, she was perfection as is. (Is this the movie you're thinking of, Slaytonf, it occurs to me now there may another film with the same name.) I love this film. Warning, it pulls at the heart strings. == Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikisoo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well, I actually keep a list of "want to see" along with a reminder as to the reason. Every month I peruse the TCM schedule and once in a while a wanted film comes up. Recently, O LUCKY MAN and and TOO MUCH TOO SOON came up on the schedule. None of these are available at my library, typically a great supplement to TCM.

Tikisoo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Keep 'em coming, folks....I may have copies of what you are looking for & would be happy to share. How could I forget, the one movie I want more than any other is Martin Scorsese's ITALIAN AMERICAN ('74). It has shown on TCM before, but I wasn't smart enough to record it. It's not available on any DVD release, even as an "extra". It's a fantastic film he made early in Marty's career, simply interviewing his parents - Italian Immigrants- asking them questions about settling in NYC and raising their family. It's such a beautiful time capsule of now gone NYC in the 70's. Actually, somewhat quaint. His parents are a RIOT, they are so insightful and use terminology my grandmother used. You can really see where Marty gets his sense of humor. My favorite passage, "How did you celebrate Christmas? Did you ever have a tree with ornaments?" "Naw, we didn't go for that." Adorable. It's one of those movies I want to watch with my family for our yearly get together. My mother & I both love it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fixer (1968) I asked on the boards here about having The Fixer on TCM back in 2006 or 2007 and I got a reply saying that they can't get it for TCM USA even though it's an MGM British Studio production, that it's unavailable.

It had a run on a Canadian movie channel back in the vhs days. I didn't think it was terrific by any means but I'd like to see it again mainly for Alan Bates. It seems unavailable on dvd but I believe that there may be bootleg tv dubs floating around. Who would think that a Frankenheimer film would somehow get tied up in rights issues?

Bogie56 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Do you mean The Road Back ('37)? I'd like to see that too. I'm pretty sure they meant The Road Home (1999) by Zhang Yimou. Which IMHO was a disappointment given so many other Yimou films that were very good, such as Raise the Red Lantern (1990); Ju Dou (1990); The Story of Qui Ju (1992); and To Live (1994).

Yes, I meant The Road Home, by Zhang Yimou. Though movies like Raise the Red Lantern and To Live might have more weighty stories, The Road Home has some gorgeous photography and tells a simple tale of love without falling into the sentimental. It's Ziyi Zhang's performance, however, that makes it ring. She deftly presents a girl, shy by nature and custom, whose infatuation with the new schoolmaster prompts to boldness and initiative. No wonder she's the darling of China cinema. She could charm the socialist dialectic out of Madam Mao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
