Hi all,
In the SF Bay Area, I remember The Premiere Movie on Channel 2. It showed
the same movie on weekend nights and maybe Friday and Monday too. I remember
watching the same movie on multiple nights. I especially remember watching
Billy Budd several times.

Hi Bruce:
We are pretty close in age. I am 53. I think my Dad bought our first color
television in 1965. We were the first on our block to have a RCA color TV. It
was really exciting. I think many were buying them to see Bonanza in color.
Those were the good old days. My favorite show as a

All of this brings to mind the first (to the best of my knowledge)
feature films to be broadcast on network TV
in the U.S. This was on NBC (I THINK) and was programmed as SATURDAY
NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. It was a package of only 20th Century Fox films,
including THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW
In the San Francisco Bay Area in the 50s 60s, they showed THE SNOW
CREATURE and KILLERS FROM SPACE incessantly. I watched them both far too
many times to be considered normal psychologically as a child.

I forgot to mention one of my favorite very bad Million Dollar movies
which is CAGED. That one ran on alternate weeks with Yankee Doodle
Dandy. Everyone loved the scene in which Hope Emerson as the mean and
nasty Matron gets it. FRANC

I pretty much grew up here in Los Angeles. There use to be a program on
called The Million Dollar Movie and the same movie played every night at 8:00
p.m., twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday. Every week brought a new movie. I
had always been a movie fan
K, SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER is worth watching if only for Liz's scream at
the end.
As for Losey's THE SERVANT. I watched it initially in film school
then again recently and is unquestioningly brilliant to this day.
Never saw PICASSO SUMMER but it sounds hilarious if not boring as hell.

We must be close to the same age (I just turned 56) as I remember this being

be sure the process was perfected first) and I saw this movie over and

When I was kid in the 1960's they used to show a black and white print ALL
the time of The Boy With Green Hair with Dean Stockwell. I like this movie

The reason they showed these all the time was because they would buy the
rights to them for a month or 6 months or a year, and they could show them as
often as they wanted within that time
