Gotta love those Earrings.

s'okay, but the other one is better.

Anton Walbrook still has that Old World European reserve whereas Charles Boyer got a little hammy in Hollywood. He's great in Earrings... though

The cinematographer, Richard H Kline, did some other Fleischer films, incl Mandingo & The Boston Strangler. (also The Fury and... Howard the Duck)

huge blindspot for me so i'm excited to watch (almost) all of these:http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/474213%7C0/70-s-Sci-Fi-4-21.html

the beach party movies are (predictably) dumb. i think i was hoping for more and now i'm kinda wishing todd haynes made some kind of meticulously stylized pastiche version of a beach party movie that secretly explored in melodrama style the tensions undergirding the beach party movie conventions. seriously, tho, are any of these good enough to be worth watching? even the names sound interchangeable.

They Live! and Escape from NY on tnite

They Live is not without its own virtues, but it's mostly worth reading so you can know what's being talked about in Jonathan Lethem's awesome book on the film.

*worth WATCHING, of course.
Tourneur's STARS IN MY CROWN is on TONIGHT! It's a sweet gentle dream of a movie, probably better than TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in any medium.

Originally I thought they were airing Late Summer.
This makes a helluva lot more sense as part of a triple feature that includes Little Darlings, though.

Spike Lee as guest programmer on Thursday July 5...Ace In The Hole, Night of the Hunter and On The Waterfront.
Will finally get to see the former. If you haven't, for unfathomable some reason, seen the latter two, cancel any and all plans.
― to welcome jer.fairall, pie is served. (jer.fairall), Monday, 2 July 2012 14:42 (10 months ago) Permalink
i've seen Ace in the Hole and On the Waterfront - two of my fave films of all time. never saw Night of the Hunter tho.
― Mordy, Monday, 2 July 2012 14:45 (10 months ago) Permalink
Can't get too cocky as I've never seen Ace, but seriously...you are not allowed to do anything else til you've seen NotH.
Also, Friday has a run of Jimmy Stewart westerns followed by D'Zullawski's Posession. It's ok/healthy if I don't leave my house for the rest of the week, right?

I've never seen On the Waterfront. The other two are favorites. Saw Ace in the Hole at the Film Forum when it was restored. Bleakest movie ever. Night of the Hunter is a longtime fave and I've seen it many many times.

I watched Sullivan's Travels the other night -- just wonderful. In fact -- this is my secret shame brought to light -- it was the first Sturges film I'd seen.

Looking over the July schedule...Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark is coming up on the 20th. That sounded interesting when it was mentioned on the horror poll. (Can't remember if it placed in the top 100)
