GREAT Movies on TCM today

Check your local listing for times.
The Night of the Iguana. Richard Burton. Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr in a steamy drama set south of the border.
The Sandpiper. Vincent Minnelli directs Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. I've never seen it, but I assume it's good.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? The BEST Burton/Taylor film ever. I've always wondered if it is really possible for someone to really drink as much as they did in one night.
Days of Wine and Roses. If you're still in the mood for booze soaked drama between married couples, then watch this move with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick.
To Kill a Mockingbird. I think it's a little long and loses the message a time or two, but it is of course a classic. Bonus points for that guessing that nobody (at the time) who played Boo Radley.
A Patch of Blue. Meh. Can't really say. Am I the only one who's never been a big Sidney Poitier fan?
The Hustler. Can't get much better than Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. From 1961.

You have to see him in the right movie. Yes, he's as unbearable as Gregory Peck at his sanctimonious worst in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?", but he's fine in "Let's Do It Again" with Bill Cosby, John Amos and Jimmy "J.J." Walker. He was also properly cast in "Lilies of the Field".

Jack Klugman was basically the unsung hero, in terms of acting performances, in The Days of Wine and Roses.

Sidney Poitier was good in the Defiant Ones, but Tony Curtis really was the bomb.

I do miss TCM since I cut my cable. Cannot seem to find it as a reasonable add-on anywhere.

You forgot "The Defiant Ones" with Tony Curtis.

The Hustler. Newman’s finest performance in my book. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor (when that meant something), but lost to Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry).
The Hustler is a great, great movie.

I didn’t forget it because I didn’t see it. I don’t care for Tony Curtis, and he could never babysit my children.

Poitier's talents were fully displayed in Sneakers, a movie with an eclectic cast of notable characters.

Just rewatched the Defiant Ones a few months ago - what a great movie. They don’t make em’ like that anymore.

Just saw Night of the Iguana for the first time a couple weeks ago.
The two native cabana boys are really over the top. Definitely if the film were made today their purpose to the plot line would have been much easier to slip into the film in a more natural way. Them just dancing close (to no music) is just... weird.
