The Movies! TV Network is pulling out all the stops.
They showed the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers last night. What a great movie. If Don Siegel had never directed another movie as long as he lived, this alone would be sufficient to have established his reputation. Oh, his birthday is coming up next week. I'll have to make a note of that.
Tonight, Movies! is showing Soylent Green, The Bad Seed, and The Haunting, one right after the other.
Movies!
I've never seen The Haunting. I hear it's a classic.
