TCM - Where should they cut it off?

[Feraud]

I'm with you Hem. Everything after LOA isn't worth watching.

Lawrence came out in '62. This means we have to exclude High and Low from 1963! :eusa_doh:

You guys are going to drive me batty with this thread!

Just from one channel, my friend. You can watch High and Low on AMC or Retroplex. lol

Blah, never!
AMC is an amazing channel in their ability to destory great films by adding commercials.
In thinking about it, I would prefer TCM show Sister Act every now and again than go the AMC route.

I believe Whoopie Goldberg is their "Star of the Month" next month. It was going to be "Orson Welles" but they wanted to be able to show "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Ghost" in Primetime, along with the classic, "Sister Act." lol

Because, Feraud, "The love you have inside, you get to take it with you."

..and June should be Jennifer Lopez month. :eusa_doh:

Oh the heck with it, why don't they just show any movie from any year that they wantonly pull off of a shelf and call it "classic"; Brighton Beach Memoirs anyone?????

 

[Paisley]

The problem with a cutoff date is that they didn't suddenly change the way movies were made. For instance, I think "The Pianist" (c. 2000) fits the classic style better than Doris Day romantic comedies do.

Just a reminder....the station is called T"C"M, Turner "Classic" Movies!
Jennifer Lopez is a "classic" beauty. However, her movie repotoire is far from classic.:eusa_doh:

Oh the heck with it, why don't they just show any movie from any year......Brighton Beach Memoirs anyone?????

Ferris Bueller's Day Off anyone???....and June should be Mathew Broderick month.:eusa_doh:
Wait a minute, perhaps June should be Neil Simon month!

Now you're talking about some real movie classics.
The standout in this group of films has to be
"The Cheap Detective"!

......I've seen this one many times....and it is a classic.
Alan (Frank Sinatra) is a thirty-nine year old playboy who, to his parents' chagrin, remains unmarried (Sinatra was in fact bewigged and fifty-one). His kid brother Buddy (Tony Bill) leaves his parent's home in Yonkers and joins Alan in his Manhattan bachelor apartment. Drinks, dames and snappy clothes ensue. :eusa_clap

Because this is 1963, Frank thinks it's the height of cool to shave with an electric razor, use roll-on deodorant and furnish his kitchen in orange plastic. Impressively for 1963, he has a car phone and a remote control device to work his stereo, but were the snapbrim hat and the plaid raincoat REALLY the last word in style in the era of the Rolling Stones?lol

Come Blow Your Horn is an awesome film. I wish it was on DVD. I really like this one.

Broadway Bound and Lost in Yonkers were actually made into films?????? I missed both.:eusa_doh: How did that happen?
