Victor Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'd like to see the Original version of Smokey and the Bandit 3 AKA, Smokey IS The Bandit It was shelved and ReShot after Stupid people in The PreView Audiences became Confused seeing Gleason in Both Rolls, Jerry Reed suddenly became The Bandit along with Colleen Camp--Who Couldn't Act her way out of a Paper Bag. What Confuses me is that Gleason played 3 Rolls in Smokey and the Bandit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryder989 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The Day the Clown Cried (1972) The famously never released Jerry Lewis movie. Jerry Lewis plays a clown that entertains children before they are sent to the gas chambers. Jerry Lewis has the only copy locked in a private vault where he vows to keep it from ever being viewed again. He refuses to discuss the making of this film in any form.

BestEra Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (1944) with Edward G. Robinson. I saw it years ago on AMC and loved it. It's not available on VHS or DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Wings (1927) or The Ruggles of Red Gap (1935) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 "The Jolson Story" (1946) I know these don't qualify as "one movie," but I wish TCM had the rights to the Warner Bros. cartoons from 1948--1965 that CBS & ABC aired for years on Saturday mornings. Haven't seen those in years....on ANY channel. TCM's current selection of Merrie Melodies/Looney Toons date mostly from the early/mid-'40s, aka Bob Clampett's & Tex Avery's WB heyday. These are groundbreaking films, but I prefer the Jones/McKimson/Freleng output from the '50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattHelm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 There's a lot of legal red tape that keeps that movie from being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have four: Beau Geste (the silent version) and the 1939 remake The Iron Horse The restored "Covered Wagon" Just my luck that the silent "Beau Geste" and "Covered Wagon" are in the Paramount Library. Though buzz around town is that with Brad Grey and new blood coming into the company they finally realize how far behind the curve they are with getting their library to DVD. So maybe, there's hope after all.... "Iron Horse" is Fox and the 1939 "Beau Geste" is a Paramount film now owned by Universal A girl can dream.....

stryder989 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 How about some old 1950's "stag films". They could show them late night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'd like to see Viva Zapata. Other choices are: Men in War, Bedtime Story, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Hud, Portrait of a Mobster, Hell's Five Hours. All these films are never shown on TCM.

stryder989 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Does TCM ever show Giant? I don't think I've seen that on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Movielover, I believe none of those films are in the TCM library so TCM would have to rent them in order to show them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yes, I figured they weren't in the library...but I vote for TCM to expand the library or try to rent some of these great flicks - it gets boring seeing the same movies over and over again. I love TCM, but they have to try to find a way to show some of the lesser shown films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 TCM has shown GIANT a number of times. Ditto WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, which for a while they were showing weekly. I look forward to the end of the 31 days of Oscar marathon, when they go back to a somewhat regular schedule. There are any number of foreign films I'd like to see, especially Kurosawa, which they have shown, and Ozu, which they have not. My one choice: TOKYO STORY.

jarhfive Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hello, "Convention City" from 1933. When is TCM going to show "Convention City"? Never. Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntress Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 To BestEra...Woman In the Window was available at one time on vhs. You might be able to get one on ebay or amazon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntress Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I would love to see "Alias Nick Beal", and "Boomerang"(1947). I keep checking the schedule so I can have my friend tape them, but since I discovered this website, I haven't seen them listed. To lzcutter...The Iron Horse was available on vhs for a time. It is a great movie. I had to hunt for it, but was able to find a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagney69 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 There are a couple of Bob Hope movies that I would like to see. The Cat and the Canary and I believe it's called To tell the truth which I think is like Jim carey's Liar Liar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansi4 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 A guilty pleasure, Universal-International's "Girls in the Night" (1953). A "B" movie about delinquents getting involved in a murder. Warren, your pick of "The Jolson Story" with Larry Parks is an excellent choice. I have this movie on VHS and it is a treasure. If I had a second choice I would choose "Let No Man Write My Epitaph" with Shelley Winters and Burl Ives. It is a stark drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt35 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I would definitely pick "The Trial of Mary Dugan" (1929) and "The Letter" (1929). I find movies from the late silent/early talkie era fascinating. Neither film, I believe, has been shown on TCM for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyrel Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I wish they would show "Reefer Madness". Not because I consider it a great movie - but I saw it once years ago and I remember it was a hoot - I'd just like to see it again and see what I thought about it the second time around. I am not a big fan of silent movies for the most part - although I have seen one or two that I liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyrel Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Let's just hope they remain with their commercial free format. I used to like AMC also until they started running commercials and far too many "recent" films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestEra Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 You are correct, Huntress. WOMAN IN THE WINDOW is available on VHS. I am happy you pointed out my error. I could buy it on VHS and record it to DVD. Problem solved. So, I'd like to make another choice as what movie I'd like TCM to show: BABBITT (1934) with Guy Kibbee.

filmlover Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 As to Reefer Madness, it's funny but I just happened to notice tonight that it is scheduled to run on Tuesday morning on The Movie Channel Extra West. LOL, and I too have not seen it except once many years ago at a University but I still recall how outrageously bad it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'd like to see Sanders of the River or some of the other older Korda films like Knight Without Armor or the Divorce of Lady X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
