There are older Vietnam war movies, such as China Gate (1957), Flame over Vietnam (1957) and The Quiet American (1958). 1978's Go Tell the Spartans (Burt Lancaster) is one of my favorites. TCM is also showing a goodly number of fairly recent movies of all types these days, so going back to the 80's ...

TCM is mostly a studio-era movie channel. Most of the Vietnam war films were released after the end of the studio-era. Also, many are anti-war films, and it is my understanding most Americans view the Vietnam war as a misguided (at best), conflict by the US government. Thus, showing such films on M...

This weekend's Noir Alley selection is Bad for Each Other (1953), starring Charlton Heston, Lizabeth Scott, and Dianne Foster. As part of TCM's Memorial Day Weekend Marathon theme, the film has Charlton Heston playing an Army colonel and doctor who returns home to Pennsylvania on leave after servin...

Yes, this is a pet peeve of mine, but TCM ignores the Vietnam war on Memorial Day (3-4 days) and other relevant holidays. Never understood why as there are well over 100 movies about the war in Vietnam. Platoon is on Friday, May 24, but that is the only Vietnam War movie on as far as I can tell. Act...

No Falcon this Saturday - war movies in honor of Memorial Day. But, June 1st has The Falcon and The Co-Eds - a really good one. June 8th has The Falcon Out West, which is fairly good. A young Barbara Hale (Della Street) is featured. June 15th has The Falcon Out West, which is my favorite. I kind of ...

In honor of Roger Corman's passing I watched his first movie, which is on Tubi. Monster From the Ocean Floor, 1954, produced for $12,000. And so it began.

There probably wouldn't be enough interest to start a stand alone ID thread and only some of the shows are worth talking about. But there are many noirish elements to these shows: The psychological problems of some of the characters, a twist of fate, the innocent person looked at by the police as g...

This week's Film Noir is a Japanese movie made in 1960 - Take Aim at the Police Van. Wikipedia says it is a modern noir to compete with Hollywood's modern noirs. Doubt I will watch it.

I watched a few of his shows, but his persona kind of creeps me out. I never found him creepy, just too intense. He did often have interesting cases. What could be more noir than murders, confused individuals with deep psychological problems who often don't fit into the surrounding environment, inn...

Why not start an ID channel thread or similar under one of the other places?
The shows don't sound "noirish" to me, just another mystery/crime embellished by a TV channel/personalities.

Why are people posting about ID channel shows on the Noir Alley thread? Confuses me as I have never heard of these people or their shows.

Here is the list I have for the 13 Falcon films shown before on TCM: - Starring George Sanders as Gay Lawrence 01 The Gay Falcon (1941) 02 A Date with the Falcon (1942) 03 The Falcon Takes Over (1942) 04 The Falcon's Brother (1942) (with Tom Conway as Tom Lawrence) - Starring Tom Conway as Tom Lawr...

Of the 4 movies, "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." His brief cameo in "The Muppet Movie." But of course, "The Jerk." Not sure what the theme is. Not his birthday. Don't remember ever seeing "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." "Father of the Bride" wasn't even clo...
