Chopper Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 When I do sit and watch movies on tv I've been hooked on the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) station. They show mostly the old flicks from the earliest silent films on up. My particular favourites are the ones made during the war years, particularily WW2. You get to see Grable, Davis, Bergman, Dietrich, Kerr etc. Great stuff. Joan Leslie was a particular standout (confirmed by my mom) although her career was short (retired to motherhood).
