Brandie’s choice: Bringing Up Baby (1938) Airing at 12:00AM EST There are a handful of movies I would personally label the funniest films of all time, and Bringing Up Baby would be near the top of that list. In fact, when I endeavor to introduce someone to the world of classic film, this is one…
Taking a short break from Summer Under the Stars to reminisce about some of my favourite childhood films: Shirley Temple. I’ve seen quite of them at one time or another, but certainly not all. Around the middle of her career, she was a very prolific actress, performing in movies at rates that would astound even…
Carrie’s choice: Anchors Aweigh (1945) Airing at 12:00PM EST I AM SO EXCITED. It’s Kathryn Grayson day. Hello, DVR. I adore her movies. That’s all there is to it. Make sure you read Brandie’s comments below because it was hard for me to decide what to watch. Just set your DVR and watch all of…

I adore this movie…
Carrie’s choice: The Blob (1958) Airing 11:45AM EST Run…. Don’t walk from… The Blob! I’m taking just a couple of quick minutes for The Blob. This film is interesting in that it has become so culturally relevant, not for the film itself, but for the previews. The ads for The Blob have infiltrated our culture…
Brandie’s choice: A Tale of Two Cities (1935) Airing 1:00PM EST Most people are familiar with Rathbone in the persona pictured above, as the erstwhile detective Sherlock Holmes in a series of fourteen films spanning the years between 1939 and 1946. Carrie’s recommendations, listed below, will tell you a bit more about Rathbone’s most well-known…
So you may recall that February’s experiment in “let’s make a recommendation every day!” didn’t exactly work out the way I wanted it to. But as Fred and Ginger sang in one of their best, Swing Time, “pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.” (Well, now I just need to post…
