sweetbabykmd Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 So they're doing a documentary in the middle of the night, and not showing any of her movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I love ISLAND OF LOST SOULS! One of the creepiest little horror films I know. Makes me shiver! If there's a rival to I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I?ve seen ?It? and ?The Wild Party? on TCM. Wild Party is very interesting because it was made in 1929, but its basic story about girls dating and going to parties in college and is very similar to what happens to a lot of kids today. In fact, it is similar to what happened to boys and girls in college when I was in college. This ?party school? phenomenon must go back in history for centuries. In the film, Bow chases after one of the professors. The scene where she is chewed out by the older elder administrators of the school is just like what happens in schools today. In many ways it is a thoroughly modern movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordmaster Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 FYI, patful: "The Bribe" appears to be on the TCM schedule on Saturday June 17 @ 5 am PDT [maybe part of "Darkness before Dawn"]. I am looking forward to seeing it as well - a good cast assembled here; even though I am not a huge fan of Robert Taylor [i wish his substance was somewhere equal to his style], having Ava Gardner [her substance is a bit closer to her style] in the cast will provide sufficient compensation. wordmaster [lover of noir and crime dramas] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordmaster Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Agreed, movielover. I would also like to see some sort of recognition for Richard Widmark: one night for westerns, one night for war films, one night for noir... I also wouldn't mind the same sort of treatment for Edward G. Robinson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbabykmd Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks Fred, I have been waiting to see those two films. I will have to make a request and maybe TCM will air them again someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patful Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks, wordmaster. I checked before I requested the films and saw that "The Bribe" would be on. Not big on Taylor either, but anything with Laughton is worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyfaria Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I would like to see western classics starring Rory Calhoun. I would like to see western classics starring Audie Murphy. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 "I would like to see the following movies on TCM: The Jazz Singer Gigi Singin' In the Rain Any film made in the '20s Gone With The Wind Any Eva Gabor film" Apparently your wish is TCM's command, 1920sfan! The Jazz Singer and Gone With the Wind were both played in the past few weeks. Singin' in the Rain is planned for June 27; and Eva Gabor in The Last Time I Saw Paris will be shown on both June 5 and July 14, 2006. Enjoy!

TOOMANYNOTES Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 The documentary "Clara Bow the It Girl" made in 1999 narrated by Courtney Love (Ugh!) will be shown at 2 A.M. June 19th. There have been Clara Bow movies shown from time to time but the documentary is the only thing that will be on for the next couple of months. My suggestion to you is to keep watching promo's for "Silent Sunday's" that's your best bet for catching Clara Bow movies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 They had a Clara Bow documentary on last month's day of Hollywood docs. I don't know if it is the same one that is running later this month or not. Great day of docs that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbabykmd Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I wonder whose great idea it was to show the Clara Bow documentary at 2am? Of course we get the modern drek tonight and Sunday at primetime. Too many post 60's movies this month for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOOMANYNOTES Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Whose idea to show it at 2 A.M? Probably the same person who's idea it was to show "Clarence the Crossed Eye Lion" and "Flipper" on July 27th. Now those two movies are real "Classics" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbabykmd Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I guess Honey I Shrunk the Kids is classic too. There are tons of 50's Sci Fi movies they could show us under the theme of "weird science". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOOMANYNOTES Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I like that idea of 50's Science Fiction movies being shown but that would be to logical. I would nominate you to be a programmer at TCM! As long as you show 50's Horror Movies too and some "Charlie Chan" movies thrown into the mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbabykmd Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 You're funny, but I don't think others would be too happy. I wouldn't show any modern movies and no cutesy themes. Just the good old movies from Hollywood's golden era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 "I like that idea of 50's Science Fiction movies being shown but that would be to logical. ..." They're showing The Incredible Shrinking Man, Quatermass Xperiment and The Time Machine on Sunday night. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakehillBoyzGirl Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Please TCM show some of the films I used to see on The Late Show before we had to pay for TV. Mr. Scout Master with Clifton Webb Margie (1946) with Jeanne Craine anything from the Henry Aldrich series anything with Judy Canova When Our Hearts Were Young and Gay Our Hearts Were Growing Up PLEASE!!! TCM, show these movies they are wonderful family movies. These movies haven't been shown in many years. HELP ME!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakehillBoyzGirl Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 TV just SUCKS now. I pay for TV and I get less than my parents got for the price of electricity. When was a kid I could get up in the middle of the night and turn the TV on to any of the stations we got then without cable and find a super movie that would keep me up way past the time I was supposed to be up. WHERE are those movies!!! PLEASE PLEASE show these movies, anytime, I don't care, just show them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaDeWinter Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Anything with Russ Columbo in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 They have been showing way too much junk of the post 1960 era lately. There are probably less than a handful of movies each decade starting in 1960 that are worth watching at all. We agree with Peter Bogdanovich who said when he was hosting the Essentials that "There are not old movies, just great movies that you haven't seen yet." Well there's a heck of a lot of great movies pre-1960 that we haven't seen yet on TCM. Recently it is disturbing to note that TCM's broadcasting has been polluted by such horrid movies. One wonderful annual pathetic creation "A Christmas Story? A movie that is only interesting if you've drunk pint of warm Everclear or moonshine and are on the verge of unconsciousness. What should be done with the post-1960 movies... well Just about all of them should just have the celluloid recycled into garbage bags they would serve a much better purpose to society. We love TCM but where we used to have it on most of the day we have opted to subscribe to Netflix to fill the voids in their programming which are becoming quite substantial month by month.

racdad Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I agree that TV today - you flip thru channel after channel and wonder how they stay on - is not the best. TCM can be the beacon - here it goes: Give me the classics: James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, The Duke, Screwball comedies, yeah even Charlie Chan mysteries, Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone. Mix it up, we all love Casablanca and Yankee Doodle Dandy, but show us something else like the Roarin' 20's (Cagney/Bogart), The early "Road" pictures with Hope & Crosby, Abbott & Costello. I remember a movie I saw on the Late Show one night called "The Next Voice You Hear" it truly scared the bejeessus out of me. Cary Grant had some pretty good "B" movies (yes, I'm going to pitch it again) "Room for One More" comes to mind. Cagney & Bette Davis - The Bride Came C.O.D. me and my brother's favorite screwball comedy (Oh, Joanie!!!). 'Nuff said, Thanks TCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
