There's Secondhand Lions, The Alamo and Jarhead on today in Australia.

Any worth a watch?

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

Depends what you want. From what I know of them, I think Secondhand Lions is worth a look, but you won't find anything special cinematically there.

Is Jarhead really slow? I have a feeling it is, is it?

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

I've not seen it. It didn't really look interesting to me back then. Ask SC, but ask him to try and filter out the Jakeness of it for you.

I watched "Jarhead" with a bunch of people at a hostel (I prefer to watch alone so I don't miss a word) - but it was a film worth watching.

From 1:30 to 2:30pm ET today there's a program about the movies that changed cinema. I'm online (so I'm not home) and don't know the channel...

2001 A Space Odyssey coming soon at 12:45pm ET on TCM - I've been wanting to watch this for years (saw it the first time a decade ago, don't remember too much), but there's a little get-together; my brother is asking for the hand of a girl, an official "get engaged" day...

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is coming at 10 or 11pm ET tonight also on TCM

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

Wow! Some of my favorite films coming up on TCM.. If you have DVR, this would be a great opportunity.

ET
-10:30 - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (My #4)
-1am - Dog Day Afternoon
-3:15am - Network (#5)
-5:30am - Bound For Glory (7/10)

I went ahead to see what was coming in the future.. Very themed, similar types of films consecutively. I even see "Lord of the Rings" in order (haven't seen them yet), as well as the Best Pictures in the last 5 years.

8pm ET on TCM
-Annie Hall (followed by a short documentary "100 Years At The Movies"

and later at midnight is "All The President's Men" (followed by Barry Lyndon - very underrated film)

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

I've been watching Woody Allen films, trying to get a feel for his films, but haven't seen Annie Hall yet.

Barry Lyndon was very high on my 1970s Top 100 list

After Lucia - Channel 4 - 1:25am
Dazed & Confused and- Film4 - 11:05pm
Fear - Horror Channel - 12:45am

The now Oscar winning documentary CITIZENFOUR is on Channel 4 on Wednesday night at 11:05pm.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

I've been wanting to see Dazed & Confused since it came out.

I think you'd love "Annie Hall" it's a great film.. I'd consider "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" to be Woody's best.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV Thread
 

I've never seen Marty but have always wanted to...Ernest Borgnine would be on my list of actors incapable of giving a bad performance.

Film Town on Trial (1957) - Film4 - 1:15pm
Twins Of Evil - Horror Channel - 10:50pm
CITIZENFOUR is on Channel 4 on tonight at 11:05pm.

Marty is a really, really good film. Only wish it was longer..

THU 2:15pm ET on TCM
A Streetcar Named Desire

as well as a few shorts in between other films.

Crap!! Somehow I missed this thread and had no idea Citizenfour was on. Oh well.. I'll see it some other time, or hopefully it repeats soon.

Dying Young, Song movies, 9pm
Wolf Creek, horror channel, 10:50pm
The Killer Inside Me, ITV4, 11:05pm

I know HBO is playing CitizenFour quite a lot, that's if you're in the U.S.. But you can always stream it..
