TCM

My mom watches 10 or 12 hours a day and lately I have caught several wonderful films there.

We had TCM when I was a kid (I don’t live in the USA), but it disappeared a while back, and I’ve never seen it on any cable provider’s list of channels.

I remember watching movies like ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’, ‘2001: A space odyssey’, ‘Who’s that knocking on my door’, ‘Dog day afternoon’ and many more on TCM. It introduced me to a lot of movies I wouldn’t have sought out at a young age. Sadly gone now and greatly missed, but I have very fond memories related to it (weird to say about a TV channel, but there you go).

YES.

A big yes! I watched My Cousin Rachel today on TCM--an excellent British film from 1952 staring Richard Burton and Olivia de Havilland. The film was adapted from the the novel by the great novelist Daphne du Maurier. I've been a classic movie fan since I was a teenager and TCM is the best place to watch films from the beginning of filmmaking--I enjoy the commentary and the hosts, as well, who give the audience behind-the-scenes stories about the stars, directors and the process. The hosts even share little known scandals attached to some movies.
