Gotta get down to it Soldiers are cutting us down Should have been gone long ago. What if you knew them And found them dead on the ground How can your run when you know?

Great double feature, my #TCMParty family. Would love to stay up for Brief Encounter but just too tired. . . Also, I’ve never seen this one either, but DVRing it. (I know, I know)

Rick shot first. #TCMParty

La Marseillaise Chills. #TCMParty

Sam is all “Ugh, white people.” #TCMParty

“What if you killed all of us? From every corner of Europe, hundreds, thousands would rise up to take our places. Even Nazis can’t kill that fast.” Probably my favorite line. #TCMParty

As great a film as Casablanca is, and it’s my favorite film ever, let’s be honest: It features some of the worst mustaches in film history. #TCMParty #Casablanca

Top scientists have determined that Thelma Ritter added 3,519% more greatness to any film she was in! It’s science! #TCMParty

“I like class. . . “ Drops cigar into a wineglass. Nice touch! #TCMParty

Good evening, #TCMParty family. Hope everyone is keeping warm! . . .Here for A Letter To Three Wives, which I’ve never seen before. . . . (Ducking for cover)

@tcmtv.bsky.social’s schedule this afternoon features two of the four characters who don’t envy me. Just need Robin Hood and William Tell! I would be shocked if more than three people get this reference. #TCMParty

“Now back to our feature film. Doris Roberts, Tony Roberts, Julia Roberts, Oral Roberts and Zippy the Wonder Chimp in The 3 Stooges Open A Mortuary. . .” #TCMParty #TheTakingOfPelhamOneTwoThree

“A regular Fiorello LaGuardia!” #TCMParty #TheTakingOfPehlamOneTwoThree

A bit late to the #TCMParty but here for the rest of The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3. One of my favorites. So grateful I got to see this on the big screen at #TCMFF a few years ago.

“These are the best security men in the world. They used to work for J.C. Penney in Detroit.” “You know, if I’m not mistaken I once bought a comb there.” #TCMParty #TheInLaws

Richard Libertini! A first-ballot selection in the That Guy Hall Of Fame. #TheInLaws #TCMParty

All together: “Serpentine!!!!!” #TCMParty #TheInLaws

James Hong! Drink!!!! #TCMParty #TheInLaws

When you visit NYC, you should have a choice on which era you’d like to visit. I’d go with mid-60s-to-late-70s-Sidney-Lumet NYC. #TCMParty

It’s almost as if the director told Falk and Arkin, “Look, there’s an extra $200 per scene to whichever of you can out-ham the other.” Brilliant choice! #TCMParty #TheInLaws

#TheInLaws is definitely an all-time banger. It was one of my favorites screenings at the 2023 #TCMFF. #TCMParty

“. . . And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred. I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred. Then I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go. And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know. . .”

Happy New Year’s, my #TCMParty family. Love you all!

Top Secret had one of the best, but not appreciated at all, soundtracks of the 80s. #TCMParty

Just introduced my mom to Christmas In Connecticut. She wasn’t really paying much attention until about halfway through and then just loved it. Now it’s The Bishop’s Wife, which we also watched last Christmas Eve. Hope everyone is having a nice evening! #TCMParty

Right here where we live. Right here in St. Louis! #MMiSL #TCMParty

Tootie went on to control the Central West End and consolidated power throughout STL during Prohibition. She was later rubbed out by a member of the Capone mob when she tried to muscle into Boss Pendergast’s territory in KC. #MeetMeInStLouis #TCMParty

About six years ago, St. Louis was a stop on the TCM In Your Hometown tour. Along with a Meet Me in St. Louis screening, Margaret O’Brien was interviewed onstage by Ben. Such a great night, and a great memory. #TCMParty #MMiSL

Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Florida Panthers game is on in the background and I am just sitting on the couch reading a Michael Caine memoir.

I am “re-watching“ NCIS and I am currently on season three. Really it’s just background noise while I work. If this has never been said before, then shame on the world: Nina Foch could bring the funny! She was magnificent in this. That’s all. Back to work….

The crewman who spots Indy swimming towards the U-Boat was played by Eddie Tagoe, who also played the iconic Chocolate Mousse in Top Secret. #RaidersOfTheLostArk #TCMParty

Back in the early 80s, I bought a brown fedora because it was just what you did. Anyway, I still have it. #RaidersOfTheLostArk #TCMParty

The gun gag will also get a laugh out of me! #TCMParty #RaidersOfTheLostArk

Oh, come on! I've seen Raiders literally dozens of times, I'm not going to watch it again just because it's on @tcmtv.bsky.social. There's no way I... (Currently up to the Marion drinking contest scene.)

I can imagine Marion at a movie theater two years earlier watching The Thin Man and how much Nora drank and saying to herself, “Okay, she could probably keep up with me.” #RaidersOfTheLostArk #TCMParty

I remember being so excited to buy and play ROTLA on Atari when I was a kid. . . And then only kinda enjoying it. Played it all the way through once or twice and then went right back to Pitfall, the best Atari game ever created. Also, I’m old. #TCMParty

Red Six!!!!!! #TCMParty #RaidersOfTheLostArk

Jock Lindsey had 38 seconds (maybe, something like that) of screen time but he made the most of them! True legend! #TCMParty #RaiderOfTheLostArk

You didn’t ask, but my rank of Indiana Jones movies is, in order: Raider of the Lost Ark Last Crusade Dial of Destiny Temple Of Doom And that’s it. Crystal Skull never happened. #TCMParty

I remember seeing Raiders Of The Lost Ark in theaters when it came out. Complete game changer for me and films!!! #TCMParty

If none of you are willing to hire a midget to dress as the coroner from the #WizardOfOz and have him sing the “He’s really most sincerely dead” song at my funeral, are we really even friends? #TCMParty

In honor of @tcmtv.bsky.social showing #TheWizardOfOz tonight, I present my You Didn’t Ask But Here’s My Mount Rushmore Of Dorothys: Dorothy Malone Dorothy Dandridge Dorothy Zbornak Dorothy Gale #TCMParty

Re-binged seasons one through four of Slow Horses over the past week and now halfway through the new season. I really wish I had the words to describe how great Gary Oldman is in this series.

Just looked up George Furth’s IMDB page (because of course I did) and his first 4 films listed are Butch and Sundance, Blazing Saddles, Cannonball Run, and The Man With Two Brains. That’s a Murderers Row of quality films right there!!! #TCMParty

Got here just in time for On The Atchison,Topeka, and the Santa Fe….. #TCMParty

Just realized this morning that even though I haven’t watched the show in over 40 years, I still have the address to send a SASE to Zoom memorized.

Unpopular Opinion Incoming: As much as I want to hate this, I can’t find it in me to do so. Substitute “Zaslav” and “WIZARD OF OZ” with “Jeff” and “Road House” (or “The Quiet Man”) and I’d be great with it. A lot of you’d be, too, with your own favorites. So, yeah. . .

One of the best movie-going experiences I’ve had was seeing #SingingInTheRain with the score performed live by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. #TCMParty

Great explanation. Thanks, and top o’ the day, Lt. Schrank. #TCMParty

That lightbulb over Vera’s shoulder is one of my favorite shots in all of cinema. #TCMParty
