Sucks that Taxi Driver is on. It's been on for an hour. I would like to start from the beginning but whatever.

So far I have these movies set to record on my dvr this week:

Gothika
The Exorcist
Emperor of the North
The Quiet Man
The Long, Hot Summer
The Innocents
Dear Brigette
The Caveman's Valentine
Children of the Corn

And that's just from AMC. I'm going to look at IFC and TCM's schedule to see if they're going to play anything interesting.

If you guys have any movie suggestions based on their schedule, let a rip!

IIRC, TCM is playing 2001 in a week or so, and you should definitely check that out. IFC usually plays the same material for a week or so, then moves on to another batch of films, etc.

IFC shows Tarantino movies a lot.

Really only Reservoir Dogs. They tend to play movies that are both "modern indie" and "old school", like a Tarantino/Kurosawa double bill.

I saw Pulp Fiction a few times. I think they also show war movies a lot.

I've seen every Tarantino film except Jackie Brown, so I don't really care about that.

Anyways, I want to see Seven Samurai dammit.

We should have a movies on tv thread so we can let people know when certain films will air.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #6 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:45:45 PM »

BTW, you should check put Sundance every now and then. Sometimes they will show some great films, like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels or Audition. But mostly just crap. :/

Anyway, TCM, IFC, and Sundance are where you really wanna be. And I think IFC shows Seven Samurai from time to time.

Robo · « **Reply #7 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:47:35 PM »

I would watch AMC again if they brought back widescreen. I can do commercials, but fullscreen pan-and-scan is total crap. I can't even watch movies on HBO because of that shit.

IFC, Sundance, FMC (Fox Movie Channel), and TCM are where it's at.

Himu · « **Reply #8 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:48:59 PM »

There's a Sundance channel? I have satellite. Never heard of it. I'll look for it. Fox Movie Channel is good, huh?

WHAAAAAAT? You need to get on that STAT!

Himu, I've told you before and I'll tell you again, I have an extra copy of Seven Samurai I'd be happy to sell you for like $10.

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:51:32 PM »

Criterion or what

Yes, the single disc. It's OOP, but it can still be found for about $30-40 in most stores, and mine is only slightly used for a fraction of the cost.

Robo · « **Reply #13 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:55:49 PM »

FMC is alright. They play movies and they're in widescreen. I don't really ask for anything else.

Himu · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:56:58 PM »

I'll take it.

Okay, The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Marriage Go Round have gone on my dvr queue. THIS BETTER BE GOOD.

The Verdict?

Mupepe · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:01:46 PM »

The Truth About Cats and Dogs is crap, dude. Go watch Dreamgirls or something.

The movies are also unedited. Die Hard, DH: With a Vengeance, Commando and Predator always seem to be on the channel. It's awesome.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #18 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:05:59 PM »

Also, if you have the Showtime channels, Showtime Extreme is a good place to catch up on hardcore exploitation/asian gangster flicks; I first saw Ichi the Killer and Gozu, two awesome films from Takashi Miike, on that channel late at night.

Himu · « **Reply #19 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:09:17 PM »

I'm looking at Showtime-E's schedule. I'm hoping this is Showtime East, because they've got shit like..Pretty Woman on here.

Ah there we go. Showtime Extreme.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #20 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:09:52 PM »

Showtime Extreme is SHOW-EX on my satellite, iirc.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:10:16 PM »

I don't have any of those HBO or Showtime channels. All I've got is what robojimbo said. Although, I don't have Sundance.

Well...I probably won't watch that much, but I've got at least that many movies on my DVR queue. I'll be busy for a while. Still haven't watched Dune.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #34 on:** January 31, 2007, 05:21:38 PM »

Oh man, I just checked my DVR and found Fires on the Plain and The Third Man recorded for me! Yess!

Haven't seen Fires (but its gonna be a CC soon, so...) and The Third Man is one of my all-time favorites, tonight is gonna be the shit.

It was odd that the Eva was like maybe 25 or something, and he looked like he was in 50's though. Actually, it kinda sickened me.

That's just the kind of pimp he is.
