1. Their schedule has been loaded with clunkers lately.

Of course, October is a horrible month for movies for those of us who dislike horror films and such. But TCM is usually one of my go-to channels and I am finding nothing.

2. a few good ones here.

Don't Look Now is a really great psychological thriller.

from wikipedia:

A survey of 1000 people who work across the film and television industry, undertaken by the British Film Institute in 1999, saw the film ranked eighth on their list of top 100 British films of the 20th century. It also topped a similar list organised by Time Out London in 2011, in which 150 film industry professionals were polled. In 2012 Time Out also undertook a poll of the horror industry, in which more than 100 professionals who work within or have connections to the genre selected their favourite horror films, which saw Don't Look Now finish in twelfth position.

Dial M is also great, as is Bette Davis What ever happened to Baby Jane. Loved Dark Shadows back in the days.
