1925 Wizard of Oz in a couple hours -- a weird one, even less faithful to the Baum book than the Garland musical -- followed by The Red Balloon and Bicycle Thieves.

ok, sitting down to watch A Connecticut Yankee, tempering my expectations that it can't be as great as "Will Rogers stars in Mark Twain adaptation."

Speaking of which, did you know that Morrissey's favorite holiday movie is Christmas In Connecticut? At least it was growing up in Manchester

January 11 is a 24-hour salute to Laurel and Hardy, with 40 shorts (16 of which are TCM premieres) and three feature films.

finally saw Libeled Lady on Sunday; didn't expect a funny screwball comedy from MGM.
― Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:31 (fifteen years ago)
what about the Thin Man?
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:34 (fifteen years ago)
or y'know, lotsa things w/ Wm Powell.
anyway, pretty sure I never saw Riffraff w/ Spencer Tracy at 10:45 so I'm gonna try to stay awake through that.
love those come-ons in Red-Headed Woman: "Beee-ull!" "Chorr-lie!"
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:38 (fifteen years ago)
Don't associate Powell with a studio, or The Thin Man series for that matter; they're almost an independent phenomenon.
Anyway, those Thin Man movies are overrated as laff machines; only cared for the first two.
― Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:44 (fifteen years ago)
I just meant the first one -- think I only saw the second once
