The Turner Classic Movies channel is starting the month with a celebration of movies that fit the Memorial Day bill. They are then going to follow those movies with some campy style movies. I have mentioned before that I watch some pretty campy movies, so I’ll be busy “taping” some of those to save for my October month (Halloween) TV-watching. The campier – the better!<\/p>\n
Thursday, June 3 will have a whole lot of mystery movies in store for us to watch\/tape\/DVR. Be sure to check them out – I sure intend to! On Wednesday, June 9, TCM will be showing the Andy Hardy movies. These are not mysteries, however, if you enjoy old black and white family movies, these are for you! I watched them a few years ago and found them to be very “feel good” movies.<\/p>\n
TCM will be showing many movies that focus on crimes committed by young people this month. (Think West Side Story without the singing, snapping of fingers, and dancing.) They are also featuring summer wedding\/honeymoon movies during June. Also, the last weekend in June is devoted to Alfred Hitchcock movies.<\/p>\n
