Laurel and Hardy Alert!

Every Saturday this month, Turner Classic Movies is running a pair of the better Laurel and Hardy movies. These are not as available as they oughta be so you might want to set the ol' TiVo. This coming Saturday, it's Sons of the Desert, followed by Our Relations. The following week, it's Blockheads, then Swiss Miss. On the 21st, they're running Way Out West and A Chump at Oxford. And then on Saturday the 28th, we get The Flying Deuces and Saps at Sea. This coming Saturday's parlay is the best one but they're all worth watching.

Before I forget: Early the morning of June 11, TCM is running an awful film I've mentioned here before — Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title, starring Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie and Richard Deacon, and featuring a whole lot of celeb cameos. I wrote about it here and explained why it might be of interest even though it's a largely unwatchable movie.

And then immediately following that, also on June 11, they're running Billie, starring Patty Duke. We previewed that one here…another odd film that I'm not suggesting you actually watch. Unless of course, you have an insatiable desire to see where I went to high school.
