The Informer 1935 John Ford Victor mufuggin McLaglen 12 AM, February 28
Why? Cause it is John Ford (who won a DGA for this picture) doing his best Carol Reed impersonation, and it stars everybody's favorite Irish sidekick Victor McLaglen. Boring synopsis - Victor McLaglen rats out his buddies and then feels bad. But it works.
Amarcord 1973 Federico Fellini 330 AM, February 24
Why? Cause you've prolly seen 81/2 already (which IS being shown directly after Amarcord). Boring synopsis - Young kid and friends run around small town Italy, raise juvenile hell, ogle hookers, and, of course since it's Fellini, check out a parade. And it works.
The Best Years Of Our Lives 1946 William Wyler Myrna Loy, Fredric March 10 PM, February 21
Why? Cause other movies deal with war as it's happening and this one deals with the back home effects. Boring synopsis - A bunch of people come back from WWII and realize that having hooks for arms really sucks. But it works.
Man, "Limelight, "A Day At The Races," "Bonnie And Clyde," "Blow-Up," "The Last Emperor," Do The Right Thing," "Naked City (!!!)," "The Producers," "Network." TCM kills it this month.
I could write 50 of these things.
