I know a lot of Turner Classic Films fans look forward to the 31 Days of Oscar each year, the month-long programming block dedicated to movies honoured by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I have to admit that I am not one of them, and I have am a bit disappointed that it has fallen during my birth month the past many years. For one thing, the 31 Days of Oscar pre-empt TCM's usual programming, such as Noir Alley and Silent Sunday Nights. For another, it has generally been the month that TCM has shown the fewest of my favourite films. Fortunately, this year seems to be a bit better, with TCM showing several of my favourite movies.
This year TCM is organizing the films shown during the 31 Days of Oscar by genre, so that there are blocks of sci-fi movies, gangster movies, and so on. Given this year marks the 100th anniversary of Warner Bros., they will also showing some of the studio's best known films.
As I said earlier, this year Turner Classic Movies is showing more of my favourites during the 31 Days of Oscar. Below are my picks as to what to watch next month. All times are Central.
