Luckily enough, in spite of TCM Latin's rather dull schedule, Cinecanalclassics has aired pretty rare stuff like "Love Letters", "Ivy", the 1949 "The Great Gatsby", "Josette", the 1935 "The Country Doctor", the 1930 Bogart-Tracy film "Up the River", Eleanor Powell's "Sensations" and more. I wish I had a DVD Recording machine to copy them directly from TV in pristine quality, instead of having to tape them on SLP mode (only certain films I've taped on SP mode). The only drawback is that they're subtitled, so most of my American friends with whom I've wanted to share this films have been turned off by the Spanish subtitles. I remember that last year there was a poster at TCM who had been dying to watch Alan Ladd in "The Great Gatsby" and I offered him to tape the film off Cinecanal and he said he could not bear to watch it with the fixed subtitles.
I have been used to subtitling and dubbing all my life, so it's not an issue to me.
For instance I bought a DVD with fixed Portuguese subtitles of an Almodóvar Spanish film (which is in my native tongue) and I'm alive

I also obtained PAL copies of "Broken Lullaby" and "Make Way for Tomorrow" with French subtitles (a language I barely understand) and I enyoyed them both thoroughly... After all, I prefer to watch a film rather than not watching it (least of all because it has subtitles).
