The Motion Pictures 
Strange to see that TCM is showing ‘modern’ movies from the 1980s for their SUTS! And my choices for this round, if I had TCM, would be Susan Hayward (one of my favorites) and Kirk Douglas; I’ve seen neither of her two films listed above, and I’ve always wanted to see Douglas in ‘The Bad and the Beautiful’.
And I agree, this month went by very fast…let’s hope it slows down a bit before the year is out!

Yeah, they’ve expanded a bit over the past several years! Lots of people complain when more recent movies pop up (during SUTS and otherwise), but it doesn’t bother me — I like watching films from every era, and the large majority of what they show is still pre-‘70.
