TCM Schedule for Saturday, September 7, 2019 - 2 movies you'll want to watch/record

1:30 PM -- THE WILD ONE (1953)

A cultural milestone: Marlon Brando "... became the premier icon of 1950s rebellion, pioneering the way James Dean, Elvis Presley, and others would follow. The Wild One also introduced biker hipster patter to movie audiences and defined biker fashion for decades to come." Richard T. Jameson https://www.amazon.com/Wild-One-Hugh-Sanders/dp/0767818172


3:00 PM -- THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957)

In 1997, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress. It has been included on the American Film Institute's list of best American films ever made.[4][5] In 1999, the British Film Institute voted The Bridge on the River Kwai the 11th greatest British film of the 20th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_on_the_River_Kwai

If you've never seen this movie, this is a must-see movie.
