Last Sunday morning, I had the digital sub-channel known as MOVIES! on (well, I was up at 8am—don’t everyone be surprised at once) and was astonished to see that the station runs an occasional two-reeler to fill up the gaps in time (sadly, they do not provide this information at their website’s schedule). For the curious, they showed The Laurel & Hardy Murder Case (1930)…and anytime I can get my fix of The Boys is a good thing, because I start the day in a pleasant mood and am able to resist the urge to pass out the assisted living brochures among my parents. Anyway, as part of TDOY’s required community service, here’s what you can watch on the channel this week:

Ivan, that's an interesting mix of the old and the new. There are a couple of offbeat pics I'd like to see again, specifically PHASE IV (a sci fi directed by title designer Saul Bass) and THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST (with James Coburn).
I have had MOVIES since July and I was thrilled when I first saw Laural and Hardy on their channel. But I came to realise that they only have about 4 shorts that they show over and over and over. Dennis
For anyone recording these, Dead Heat on a Merry Go Round and The President's Analyst make a terrific double feature.
That's a pretty good lineup..for a channel I never heard of. I especially like Sept. 25th's movie selection. Anytime a station plays Good Neighbor Sam, it gets the thumbs-up from me!
Ditto on "Good Neighbor Sam"! It's one of my favorite sexist 1960s comedies. And watching "Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round" is worth it just to hear Rose Marie say, "He wore a truss."
Sisters Metzinger:
MOVIES! is a fairly new offering (it started in January) but it has been slowly and steadily adding stations. Click here to see if it's available in your neck of the swamp.
