Upcoming, starting with today....
Some Vincent, especially a noir I haven't seen before: DANGEROUS MISSION. I'm also looking forward to watching those popcorn cruncher B's such as THE TINGLER and THE MAD MAGICIAN.
Doris Day. Bah humbug.
I'm actually kinda grooving on a few films during Alan Ladd's day---JOAN OF PARIS, 13 WEST STREET. But I agree, they didn't do too much to get more of his core stuff.
June Allyson. See Doris Day.
Enest Borgnine's day looks kinda groovy. Most I've seen before, and recently on TCM, but I'd like to see CHINA CORSAIR, SEASON OF PASSION and THE RABBIT TRAP. Also for some reason, I've never seen all of BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK, so I'm looking forward to checking that out this time!
Joan Bennett's day is also like Borgnine's. Most of the pre-codes I've seen, except the Joe E. Brown film ELEVEN MEN AND A GIRL. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the cleaned up print of WOMAN IN THE WINDOW--woohooo!!!
Some nice B mysteries in the lineup as well.
Elvis. See Doris Day.
Maureen O'Hara's day doesn't thrill me but I'm gonna give a few films a try I haven't seen before.
Spencer Tracy, same ol' same ol', but not the best selection, though some good ones, but THE MURDER MAN is always worth a watch.
I'm not a big Errol Flynn fan, but will give a few films a watch I've not before, and of course, though he's only a corpse in the film, I love THE CASE OF THE CURIOUS BRIDE with my main man, Warren William!
I'm also not too high on Rosalind Russell, but I'm also going to watch a few of her films I've not tried before, and of course, I love the mystery films from the 30's, so her Philo Vance film is a must-see, with Paul Lukas, seen before, but great.
Coop. See Spencer Tracy above. TCM has overplayed Coop lately, but I do love a lot of those films.
Ann Miller day is ok, though I'm not a big fan of musicals generally, but I can't deny how happy I'll be just to watch the Marx Bros in ROOM SERVICE on her day!
Jane Fonda. See Doris Day.
Ronnie Reagan---this is actually one of my favourite days, because it's the only day where there is nice block of those latter 30's WB films, as TCM used to show more of years ago.
Broderick Crawford day is kinda groovy with lots of cool noir/crime films, some I haven't seen before.
Kirk Douglas. See Coop above. TCM seems to overplay Coop and Kirk these days, as they used to do with Bogie, Cagney and Eddie G. I'd rather those latter 3, usually.
Loretta Young's day is nice, though I've seen most of the films before, I'm curious to see how nice the print of THE DEVIL TO PAY will be. More 30's films, pound for pound, than most of the other days. Some later films I've not seen before.
Roy Rogers' day looks like a rare treat, I was surprised to see it in the lineup, it rocks! Totally.
Mary Astor day. Kinda see Coop, but I like this one better, two silents, some cool 30's films. Nothing earth shaking, but I like it
Having a day for Buster Keaton is all groovy and all, and I dig the latter 2/3 of the day very much (though I've seen all but one of the short silent films before, wish they had pulled MORE of those out!!!), but why do we have to see 4 films to kick off the day where he just has a cameo, and the films, more or less, kinda suck, generally. Oh well.
That's my "take" on the rest of August. Sept is kinda better (though still not enough 30's films for my taste), October is a bit groovy with the horror stuff and November rocks the house, no doubt.
