Quote:Tell you what; Let me know of any pre-Godfather movie that you see is going to be on TV (or any of the cable channels) that you would rank 3 1/2 stars or above. I'll TIVO it and watch it and give you my honest feedback. I'll freely admit if it's a good movie. Though it most likely will not be. The more advanced notice, the better.
OK...
Tonight on TCM:
12:00 - Dark Passage (1947) - IMDB
2:00 - To Have and Have Not (1944) - IMDB
Thursday on TCM:
10:00 PM - Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) - IMDB
Friday on TCM:
9:30 PM - Love Affair (1939) - IMDB
11:00 - Father of the Bride (1950) - IMDB
Friday night/Sat morning on AMC:
2:45 AM - Rosemary's Baby (1968) - IMDB
Saturday on AMC:
11:30 AM - High Noon (1952) - IMDB
Saturday on TCM:
2:00 PM - The 49th Parallel (1941) - IMDB
4:00 - The Bedford Incident (1965) - IMDB
8:00 - The Lady from Shanghai (1947) - IMDB
10:00 - The Big Sleep (1946) - IMDB
12:00 - Double Indemnity (1944) - IMDB
2:00 - The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) - IMDB
4:00 - Out of the Past (1947) - IMDB
Out of these, I'd say definitely try to catch To Have and Have Not, Rosemary's Baby, High Noon, The 49th Parallel, The Big Sleep, and Double Indemnity.
EDIT: Could an admin fix the typo in the title please? Thanks.

One of the best of Film Noir genre is Out of the Past. Great movie, don't miss it...unless you are sleeping at 4am on a Saturday. I wish I had tivo so I could watch it again. Double Indemnity is also a great one.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

AMC is showing Stalag 17 and The Third Man later this month. They're also showing Scream 2 and Final Analysis (WTF?).
TCM's schedule is fucking awesome this week, but the rest of the month looks pretty dull overall.

One thing that I always noticed in those old movies is that the dialogue seems unnaturally rushed. I don't really know how to explain it. It just always reminded me that the actors were working off a script. They were in a rush to get their lines out, so as soon as another actor finished their lines, they'd spit out theirs. It just seems so amateur, like you'd see in a high school play.
PS. Lauren Becall was very masculine looking,
