Charlie, I'd like to second ChiO's Tim Carey proposal. In fact, as a proud Brooklynite, I'd like to suggest that TCM show more films about Brooklyn, or that have the word "Brooklyn" in the title, or that feature some of the many very interesting and talented actors (such as Carey) who were born in Brooklyn. There is certainly plenty to choose from in each of those categories.ChiO wrote:Then, if anarchy is the code and the market be damned, I suggest that one 6-hour slot each week be devoted to Timothy Carey Movies -- or, as we affectionately refer to it -- TCM.no, we've never done any sort of research at all on what festivals or films we want to play.
And thank you for THE WORLD'S GREATEST SINNER.
Such suggestions are not as facetious as they may sound: what I really wanted to tell you here is that I have heard many acquaintances and co-workers comment in the recent past that they tend to watch TCM more frequently when there is a particular theme going. One co-worker - not really a Classic Hollywood fan - said that she felt she somehow appreciated the movies more when they were grouped in some logical way.
Many thanks for your wonderful work at TCM. Honestly -- I just don't know what I'd do without you.
Regards from Judith in Brooklyn
