1. There really is something for everyone on this schedule...

...kid-friendly movies to TCM's roster of stalwarts to twisted tales for the wee hours of the morning.

Speaking of the wee hours of the morning, it's not on the schedule but it does fall in the Sally Ann Howes category and is very much worth seeing: The Dead of Night, a collection of tales of the uncanny.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention a story focusing on that space between life and the afterlife, namely Here Comes Mr. Jordan, featuring the great Claude Rains and our Classic Films patron saint, Robert Montgomery.
