31 Days of Oscar

February 1st thru March 2, Turner Classic Movies is running it's "31 Days of Oscar." According to their schedule there will be some great movies on TV, including many that not readily available on video or anywhere else. Most of the films are Oscar winners but not all of them. They are all classics, in the best sense of the word.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) was on last night and we watched Rebel Without a Cause (1955) a few days ago. As I type this, Citizen Kane (1941) is playing, with Vertigo (1958) and Rear Window (1954) on this evening.

Many of the films are ones I'd never heard of, especially before I got into classic movies. But TCM's website contains a fantastic database of movies, with descriptions and trivia and everything you'd need to pick your viewing options.

TCM is a great channel year 'round, but this month is absolutely jam-packed with movies you can't miss.
