Our choice: Airplane! (1980) Airing at 1:15AM EST Note: Brandie defers to Carrie’s expertise on all things Airplane! today, particularly since (gasp!) she’s never seen it. And yes, Carrie, I’m going to fix that immediately. Shifting out of some of the usual vein for TCM, we move into the 1980s. More specifically, we’re looking at…
Carrie’s choice: Tenth Avenue Angel (1948) Airing at 9:30AM EST This dramatic movie is not exactly the silly comedy or musical/comedy I enjoy so much in classic film. What I like about it, though, is that it’s a story of redemption- or not. Margaret O’Brien plays Flavia, whose aunt (played by Angela Lansbury, no less)…
Brandie’s choice: Leave Her to Heaven (1945) Airing at 8:00PM EST She was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the medium of film, but Gene Tierney’s talent extended far beyond her ethereal looks. Initially cast in comedies, she really made her name in film noir, beginning with her part as the intriguing…
Brandie: God’s Little Acre (1958) Airing at 4:00PM EST Robert Ryan, movie tough guy extraordinaire, is the focus of today’s Summer Under the Stars lineup over on TCM. Though best known for roles in such classic Westerns as The Professionals (1966) and The Wild Bunch (1969), and war films such as The Dirty Dozen (1967),…
Carrie’s choice: The Divorcee (1930) Airing at 11:00AM EST I have to confess that, yet again, I haven’t seen this movie. I want to, though. Norma Shearer plays a woman named Jerry who is in love with Ted. Jerry and Ted are popular and have it all. Naturally, they get married. This breaks the heart…
Brandie’s choice: The Fortune Cookie (1966) Airing at 3:45PM EST Have I told you lately how much I adore Billy Wilder? Who else could have given the world the oh-so-perfect comedic pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau? Wilder, Lemmon, and Matthau formed an unbeatable team in The Fortune Cookie, the first of ten movies…
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…
Carrie’s choice: Bonnie and Clyde (1967) Airing 6:00PM EST Since Brandie already had something to say about Bonnie and Clyde back in February, I’m linking to her post about the film. Brandie’s choice: Splendor in the Grass (1961) Airing 8:00PM EST Ahh, young love. Well, sort of. The first time I saw this movie was…
