A Great Week For Movies on Television

It's been a great week for movies. Actually it's been heaven for movie fans the past month on Turner Classic Movies; they're doing 31 Days of Oscar. On American Movie Classics it's And The Nominees Are...; Oscar nominated movies 24 hours a day for a week!

I'm writing at the moment watching Lawrence of Arabia. This has actually drawn my attention away from work; every now and then I'm had to step away to watch. Frequently I listen while I work; sometimes I work in front of the television.

It worked out well this past week that TheRedhead is a big movie fan; giving us something else to share. I've always enjoyed watching TheSpecialOne. I meant watching with her. ;-)

Something that's made this especially enjoyable, aside from TheSpecialOne and TheRedhead, is that I've gotten to see some of my favorite movies and some I never watched before.

I noticed for some reason this week I watched more movies than anything "the networks" {Is there still any viability to "the big three"?} have had on or other shows on cable.

It would be difficult to say what I've enjoyed most. These ones have definitely held my attention:

• Five Easy Pieces
• Hoffa
  
• Cleopatra
• Planet of the Apes
• Glory
• Mr. Roberts
• The Birdman of Alcatraz
  
• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
• Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
• Cool Hand Luke
  
• Annie Hall
• Midnight Express
  
• Papillon
• I Want To Live
• Platoon
  
• It Happened One Night
• Operation Petticoat
  
• The Bells of St. Mary's
• Mutiny on the Bounty
  
• The Hawaiians
• Deliverance
• Taxi Driver
• High Noon
• All The President's Men
• High Plains Drifter
  

{I got to thinking about this as I was doing other things; had to come back a few times to add to the list. 7:01}
