Great choice - horror films should be watched all year! (I can't join you, but I look forward to next time.)

If you're a film fan and can get to Texas for the "It Came From Texas" film fest in Garland, go for it. The fact that you can watch "Bonnie & Clyde" and then hear from their relatives is pretty amazing. Kudos to @kellykitpr.bsky.social watchingforever.wordpress.com/2025/09/03/f...

For those new to their classic film journey, before you tune in for TORCH SONG (1953) tonight on #TCM, trivia: THE BAND WAGON (1953) outtake of Cyd Charisse performing "Two-Faced Woman" was used in TORCH SONG, performed by Joan Crawford (unfortunately, in blackface 🙄). (dubbed by India Adams)

Rita Moreno is being honored with the George Eastman Award for contributions to the art of cinema on Oct. 29. If you can get a ticket, it’s well worth the trip to an Eastman event in the intimate Dryden Theatre in Rochester, NY.

See you there!

If you know of a more terrifying looking creature let me know. My thoughts on "Trilogy of Terror" at 50 via @classicmoviehub.bsky.social www.classicmoviehub.com/blog/monster...

One of my favorite shirts I ever owned said: So many books, so little time. I thought of that when I read Raquel's lengthy list of new classic film books.

"Why does every Negro in a film have to play a servant? How about just a Black person walking up the steps of a courthouse carrying a briefcase?” —Myrna Loy, 1934 That's all. 📸: George Hurrell

We're celebrating Christmas in July with our friend, @jtarnold.bsky.social LISTEN: linktr.ee/FrontRowClas...

Truth time: I didn't always tune in during @tcmtv.bsky.social #SummerUndertheStars if I wasn't a big fan of the actor - then the obvious hit me and now I watch all the time. Plus sharing some highlights of this year's sked.

#Moonstruck was a funny and lovely piece of nostalgia when it was made. So much of it felt like it came from life with my giant Italian-Catholic family. It somehow feels more poignant today - and somehow even funnier. #TCMParty

This scene of Cher on her own with that glass of wine, roaring fire, soft jazz and her new clothes is surprisingly romantic. #TCMParty #Moonstruck

Some light "beach" reading about "Horror of Party Beach" - and it's not the real motorcycle gang that has a role in the film! www.classicmoviehub.com/blog/monster...

Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” went on sale in London on May 27, 1897.

Taking Up Room talks about The Human Comedy (1943), highlighting its heartfelt portrayal of family, small-town life, and resilience on the WWII home front. #tearjerker#CMBASpringBlogathon takinguproom.com/2025/05/14/t...

Toni at Watching Forever delves into If Winter Comes (1947) a quiet, heartfelt tearjerker about kindness, compassion, and hope in the face of small-town cruelty. #tearjerker #CMBASpringBlogathon @watchingforever.bsky.social watchingforever.wordpress.com/2025/05/15/i...

Jennifer Grant on the relationship between her dad Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock: “They had a shorthand - they could finish each other’s sentences.” Her intro to “To Catch a Thief” at #tcmff

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro tells us how the colors in BLACK NARCISSUS ('47) have inspired his work. #TCMFF

Best presentation I've seen so far at this #TCMFF. When Burtt and Barron had him read some lines with responses by "Colossus"...that was great post-film fun. 😍

Actor Eric Braeden was deeply moved and “overwhelmed” rewatching his 1970 film “Colossus: The Forbin Project” in a fantastic special presentation with Craig Barron and Ben Burtt at #tcmff. In a fest of great moments, this is at the top.

Dear #TCMFF attendees, you get numbers for a reason. Get back on line in that order. This is not difficult to understand.

Well this alert changes everything. #tcmff

Filmmaker Joe Dante is one of us: a big classic film fan and lover of sci-fi. Highly recommend hearing him intro “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” and “Incredible Shrinking Man” at #TCMFF.

Partial #TCMParty at Club TCM. #TCMFF @tcmparty.bsky.social @watchingforever.bsky.social @alanhait.bsky.social @paulag0512.bsky.social @iluvcinema.bsky.social

Sue, Theresa, Toni, Evelyn, moi, and Wendy in Club TCM the “Meet TCM” panel, the first official #TCMFF event.

For “Star Wars” fans: I am in love with this menacing new poster with Anakin looking very Vaderish at the El Capitan Theatre for the prequel trilogy marathon.

What do David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Gene Hackman’s Popeye Doyle and Buster Keaton have in common? That eclectic bunch inspired filmmaker Eli Roth. Hear more of the interview recorded at #TCMFF with Ben Mankiewicz for #TCM’s “Talking Pictures” podcast premiering May 6.

Standing up for truth… #veritas #harvard

#TCM’s “The Plot Thickens” podcast returns July 17 with a 6-part series on the making of the scandelous epic “Cleopatra” hosted by Ben Mankiewicz who announced it in the lead-up to the TCM film fest. Film was written/directed by his uncle Joseph Mankiewicz. #tcmff

I love these people! A few #TCMParty OGs at #TCMFF

@watchingforever.bsky.social and I with Ed ‘the button guy’ at #TCMFF Seek him out, get great button!

With @watchingforever.bsky.social ‬⁩in front of the fabulous JAWS poster. My favorite this #TCMFF

Remembering Charlotte Brontë #botd in 1816 and the author of my favorite book.

For the Turner Classic Movie Film Festival, I usually only pick a couple of films to see before I go, letting the fest take me where it will once I'm there. With a theme of "Grand Illusions: Fantastic Worlds on Film" this fest was meant for me and I have too many films to see. #TCMFF

Hope you join me and @barrycinematic.bsky.social @scampyspiro.bsky.social @papawoof.bsky.social @echidnabot.bsky.social @watchingforever.bsky.social @watchingforever.bsky.social @oldschoolevil.bsky.social @thelastdrivein.bsky.social @dcairns.bsky.social weegiemidget.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/n...
