If you have had watched this and you watched Incendies (2010), you know how taboo this is but you’ll feel the pain and the ache all around your eyeball. Totally heartbreaking. I claimed this as my 3rd most favorite South Korean film.

Greetings, fellow TCM fans. Our very favorite time of the year is almost here.
This year’s Summer Under the Stars lineup starts on Sunday, Aug 1 with 24 hours of films starring the legendary Bette Davis. The fun starts at 6 am ET with Bette’s fine performance in the gangster expose Marked Woman (1937) and continues with a blockbuster prime time schedule: Old South saga Jezebel (1938) at 8 pm ET, and the excellent historical mystery All This, and Heaven Too (1940) at 10 pm ET.
SUTS continues throughout August with stars such as ‘30s favorite Kay Francis (Aug. 9), noir icon Gloria Grahame (Aug. 17), and all-time great James Cagney (Aug. 30) in the lineup. Here’s the best of the rest for the week of July 29.

Double Wedding (1937) at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT Thursday, July 29: TCM is celebrating William Powell’s 129th birth date (Powell was born July 29, 1892, in Pittsburgh) with a daytime lineup of his films, which gives viewers an excellent chance to catch a few screwballs with Powell’s frequent costar Myrna Loy. Another Powell-Loy rom-com, Love Crazy (1941), is airing at 1:45 pm ET.

Blade Runner (1982) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Friday, July 30: The final night of neo-noir films includes director Ridley Scott’s science-fiction classic about a loner (Harrison Ford) who is tracking human replicants in a dystopian society. A cult classic upon its release, the film has since went on to become perhaps the most influential film of the '80s. It’s not a traditional crime movie, but it was heavily influenced by classic film noir in both plot and style (everything in the future happens in the night and/or in the rain, apparently).

Hollow Triumph (1948) at 12:30 pm ET/9:30 pm PT Saturday night/Sunday morning: Noir Alley will be on break throughout August, but you can bid it a fond farewell with this excellent thriller starring Paul Henreid as a notorious criminal who poses as a psychiatrist.
FYI: Hollow Triumph won’t have an encore presentation on Sunday morning, so you’ll have to stay up late on Saturday or set the DVR.

There’s Olympic glory, magical cars, and Gothic governesses in this week’s TCM picks.

1. 16 Days of Glory (1985) at 10:15 pm PT/7:15 pm PT Monday, July 19: TCM’s day-long lineup of Olympics documentaries, includes this film about the memorable 1984 games in Los Angeles. Gymnast Mary Lou Retton, runner Carl Lewis, and diver Greg Louganis all make appearances.

2. Gilda (1946) at 12:15 am ET/9:15 pm PT Tuesday night/Wednesday morning: We recently realized that we have the same Zodiac sign as Rita Hayworth, so we’ll be interested to watch what Astrologer Susan Miller says about our fellow Libra in this week’s Star Signs spotlight. Either way, Gilda is a first-rate noir and Rita is iconic as the mysterious femme fatale.

3. Blood Simple (1984) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Friday, July 23: Friday night’s neo-noir lineup begins with our pick for the best example of the genre: The Coen Brothers’ directorial debut about murder and mayhem in a Texas town.

4. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Saturday, July 24: This childhood classic about an English family and their magical, flying car is cinematic escapism at its very best with beautiful locations and a cracking Sherman Brothers score.

5. Dragonwyck (1946) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Sunday, July 25: This Gothic chiller about a naïve young woman (Gene Tierney) who marries a wealthy, but weird aristocrat (horror icon Vincent Price) is one of the best of the woman-in-peril films that thrived in the ‘40s Hollywood. Dragonwyck doesn’t get shown very often on TCM so it’s an extra treat that it is airing in Sunday prime time.

Hey, TCM fans! It’s time to get the jungle red nail polish out for The Women (1939), which is airing at 8 pm ET Sunday, July 11. This classic comedy about a group of friends (well, more like frenemies) who gossip, drink, and shop their way through New York society is as superbly witty and perhaps even more timely than it was in 1939. The all-star all-female cast is exceptional, especially Rosalind Russell as a motor-mouthed busybody and Joan Crawford as a man-eating perfume salesperson.

Here’s the best of the rest of this week, but there’s lots of stuff airing in the daytime, so here’s a link to the full schedule. https://www.tcm.com/schedule-monthly?icid=mainnav7-month-schedule

1. Picnic (1955) at 10:45 pm ET/7:45 pm PT Wednesday, July 7: William Holden is in top form (both physically and in acting) in this drama about a handsome drifter who wreaks havoc on a small town’s Labor Day picnic (I don’t know about y'all, but if BILL HOLDEN showed up at my community’s annual picnic, it would be a whole lot better attended )

2. Viva Las Vegas (1964) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Thursday, July 8: Elvis movies can be a bit of a mixed bag, but his scorching chemistry with the gorgeous Ann-Margret in this Sin City musical makes it worth a watch.

3. Chinatown (1974) at midnight ET/9 pm PT Friday night/Saturday morning: This week’s neo-noir lineup is straight-up amazing. Chinatown remains one of the landmarks of ‘70s cinema, but there’s also Michael Caine in gangster pic Get Carter at 8 pm ET and noir icon Robert Mitchum in The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) at 10 pm ET.

4. Gojira (1954) at 2 am ET/11 pm PT Sunday night/Monday morning: The original Japanese version of Godzilla is both a first-rate monster movie and a haunting examination of the destruction left in Japan after World War II. Gojira is followed by Godzilla Raids Again (1955) at 3:45 am ET.
