He’s a great guy to meet in person and he knows his stuff, but I don’t always agree with the ratings or reviews (“Only 1 1/2 stars for Blade Runner?” I asked him once. “Well, you can’t please everybody,” came the stock answer, which he probably has to give out at least a few times a week). But that’s as it should be (and yes, I know he doesn’t rate and write about all the films all on his lonesome), so I also find it’s good to keep an eye out for favourite character actors and directors to flesh out my movie picks from time to time.

I’ve recently started to watch many classic movies either on TCM or on DVD, and I can already tell they are making me happier.

And I am in love with the channel. It is the most amazing, special thing on cable.

TCM reminds me all over again of that “floating on a cloud” sensation I once experienced only in the aftermath of a visit to a real theater when I went to see a well made movie as a child. The care they take with their programming, their documentaries, and the constant possibility of making a new discovery about movies and the mysteries of the human experience keep me coming back–not to mention Robert Osborne. Happy Anniversary, TCM. Long may you broadcast, a glimmer of civilization in tv’s bleak wasteland.
