I'm disappointed; where's Ed Wood? :-/

Also, the one time they show the early James Bond films (for a Sean Connery marathon, yes)... and they don't even show On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which is a classic!

I love TCM, but sometimes, they can thoroughly disappoint me... :-(

Mythical Monkey said...

Diana Rigg in On Her Majesty's Secret Service is far and away my favorite Bond girl. Of course, Diana Rigg is on a short list of my favorite any kind of girls ...

She does show up in Hospital, so the month is not a total loss.

By the way, what's strange about the absence of Ed Wood is that it does show up on TCM from time to time, so it's not like they can't show it. They just don't want to. Which is a pity -- it's my personal favorite of all of Tim Burton's movies ...

Yvette said...

Thanks for taking the trouble to post this schedule, Mr. Monkey.
Lots of great films and some not so. Plenty to choose from, though.

Matthew Blanchette said...

I agree with both statements, Monkey... but if you really want, Ed Wood's always available on YouTube... :-D

It's very hit or miss, much like the Oscars themselves.

Like the last Oscar year I wrote about, 1932-33, the Academy could have chosen from Duck Soup, King Kong, Trouble in Paradise, Dinner at Eight, Design For Living, Red Dust, Boudu Saved From Drowning, The Invisible Man, Queen Christina, Sons of the Desert, Baby Face, The Bitter Tea of General Yen and M, and blessed those classic movies with a total of zero nominations.

And, of course, TCM has self-limited itself to showing none of them.
