Finally I'll get to see both.

I haven't seen Napoleon yet (kind of a shame because I live in Waterloo where he was defeated) but I highly recommend The Ox-Bow Incident, a very powerfull drama...

Last year TCM did a thirty one days of oscar programming for the entire month of march (where everythign that plyaed was at least nominated for an oscar) are they doing this again this year. Looking at a day like MAr 1st, or 16th it seems like they have really great programming for this month

The 400 blows

little women (1946)

the yearling

Empire of the Sun

National Velvet

Rebel without a cause

Splendor in the grass

Mar 16th

They were expendable

the dirty dozen

the guns of navarone

sergaent york

casablanca

these look like the two best days in march, but every other day seems unusually exceptional.

Thanks for the alert, Robert. I don't think I have seen Napoleon.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Napoleon is one of the best silents ever made, period!

I saw it on TCM last month and it was indeed a great presentation. (They also showed the 4-hour version of Greed).

If there was a DVD for Napoleon, I'd buy faster than one of Abel Gance's "Russian montage" sequences!

 

[Vincent Matis]

They also showed the 4-hour version of Greed

Last year, TCM Europe showed the shortened version of Greed. I've taped it but I have yet to watch it.
How the two versions compare? Should I brother watching the short version or is it a complete travesty and thus a waste of my time??

Perhaps this deserves its own thread. The director's cut of "The Alamo" (203 minutes, letterboxed) is scheduled on Turner Classics on March 14th at 8:30 p.m. (PST).

Turner's monthly schedule is worth printing. It's loaded with gems.

 

[Dave Barth]

A bit late: TCM is halfway through The Sting right now. Never seen it, didn't get the DVD since it's not in the appropriate aspect ratio, now it's on, it's letterboxed, and I've missed it...

Also for anyone trying to watch all the AFI list, the Jazz Singer is finally being shown. Sunday at 8am on TCM.

 

[Ryan L B]

I think, if they release the Jazz singer on DVD, they should at least atempt to restore the picture and sound if possible. Just like how they did for Citizen Kane. The Jazz Singer is not the best movie it the world, but it is worth a look since it is a milestone.

Since I don't want to spend money on the DVD, does anyone know when "The Birth of a Nation" will be on TCM
