marcncleo Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I would love for TCM to pick up where AMC left off by playing the Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy shorts. I would also love if they would play more Tarzan films. Perhaps a marathon of Tarzan movies for a whole day. Link to post Share on other sites
alix1929 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I would love to see Cary Grant's early Paramount films, and the films of Clara Bow, but doubt that'll happen. I saw that the Fox Movie Channel showed Clara's 1933 CALL HER SAVAGE the other day. Sure wish I had FMC! Link to post Share on other sites
marcncleo Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Yes! Clara Bow and more silent films. Less foreign films. Link to post Share on other sites
basilfawlty12 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I would love to see the uncut version of Rouben Mamoulian's "Love Me Tonight," along with many of the other Paramount classics, such as "The Story of Temple Drake" and "The Stranger's Return"; also Thelma Ritter in "The Mating Season" and "The Model and the Marriage Broker," which were both shown frequently on AMC before the network went to the dogs.

lolmsted23 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I'm for more silents too, especially those with Louise Brooks. Have been wanting to get my hands on Pandora's Box, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

rio142 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I would like to see more Marx Brother films along with more Judy Garland films! Link to post Share on other sites
missgloriaswanso Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I would love to see Sadie Thompson with Gloria Swanson, I'd also love to see some of John and Lionel Barrymore's silent movies. What happened to AMC it really did go down hill. Link to post Share on other sites
nealgoodall Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 More foreign films! Link to post Share on other sites
nedlato Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I would like to see the "road" films with Hope/Crosby, and more shorts such as; Laural and Hardy, The Three Stooges etc... Come to think of it, I havn't seen the original "A STAR IS BORN" in years. The thirties version with Frederick March and Janet Gaynor-it is far superior to the fifties version-in my humble opinion.

Guest Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 The movies Hedy Lamarr made for United Artists, Paramount, and Universal. And silents with Esther Ralston. Link to post Share on other sites
deitrichdame Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 "the hitchiker" (ida lupino directed), "the iceman cometh" (was the original film with lee marvin?) "leave her to heaven" and "detour". there just isn't enough time. so gentlemen (and ladies) what other movies would you suggest and please NO musicals or comedies. i'm the dark misery type of movie lover (i don't much care for color either). anyone ready to assist?

Guest Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I like darkness and misery just as much as anyone, perfumedame, but why would you want to do away with musicals or the occasional comedy? Link to post Share on other sites
wklein1043 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I would like to see Laurel & Hardy movies (shorts and full length)and any of the other slapstick comedies, ie Keystone Kops. Link to post Share on other sites
wklein1043 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I would like to see anything by Laurel & Hardy (short or full length) and other slapstick comedians, ie Keystone Kops. Link to post Share on other sites
deitrichdame Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 antarctic i would never do away with musicals and/or comedies, i just don't care for these types of movies. so if you would like to offer your assistance since you are so knowledgable i would be grateful.

Guest Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I really don't know anything, perfumedame, but I like "Orphans of the Storm", "One Way Passage", "Algiers", and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". Link to post Share on other sites

bansi4 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I would like to see more of "Private Screenings" with host Robert Osborne. There are still many screen stars alive from the golden age of movies that haven't been interviewed yet. Let's get the ball rolling before its to late. Mongo Link to post Share on other sites
nickdimeo Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 The obvious one is Sunrise. Although I now own it on DVD I would love to see others experience this great film. The Birth of a Nation, Orphans of the Storm, Way Down East, He Who Get's Slapped, Street Angel, more Fairbanks, His Glorious Night (Gilbert's disasterous talkie debut). Hell, lets have a silent movie festival!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Yes, tons of silents! We need more Vilma Banky. Link to post Share on other sites
flickerknickers Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Naturally, more silents, especially from the l900s. The Thanhouser films from the l900s to 1913 are priceless, featuring nostalgic looks at children and animals and featuring phenomenal child performers--long before Shirley Temple. Also, as I've mentioned before, a marathon of Charlie Chan movies, Judy Canova's Republic musical comedies (especially 'Sis Hopkins') and all the available Republic Serials, the Universal Sherlock Holmes series, "flapper movies" with Sally O'Neill, Madge Bellamy, Gertrude Astor and Marion Davies. Clara Bow is always a tremendous favorite. And, how about a series on the Jazz Age's movie Adonises and Venuses--the hottest looking flapper guys and girls! Buddy Clark, Billie Dove, Richard Arlen, Johnny Mack Brown, Barbara LaMarr, the gorgeous George O'Brien ("Sunrise"), Valentino, Pola Negri. Link to post Share on other sites
venerados Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 More foreign, more documentary. Two huge sections of film that are neglected even more than silents. Link to post Share on other sites
maximillian1917 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 How about a regular mystery feature--and I don't mean "Darkness after Dawn" which concentrates on film noir. I found the Deanna Durbin movie, "Lady on a Train"(1945) that was shown last week to be very entertaining. I think that this type of light mystery might be enjoyable for others, too. Perhaps it could include some of the classic early Hitchcock work, Rene Clair's mysteries, including "And Then There Were None", The Saint, and Boston **** movies, (the latter series might be available since Turner just announced that they have purchased the rights to a block of Columbia studios pictures.)

orson4ever Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Now that Harold Lloyd has gotten his due, I'd love to see Fatty Arbuckle movies. I've never seen any of them, and it seems unfair that he's so rarely acknowledged, let alone seen. I hope that TCM gets more foreign films soon, as they've been running the same ones each Friday night for so long now. I'm always ready to see more Italian neo-realist films especially.
