The first time I saw this on TCM, I didn't think that much of it.....but just saw it again this past week, and this time around REALLY enjoyed it !! Anybody have a favorite(s) you were first exposed to thanks to Ted Turner's (1994) 'baby' ??  Crossing Delancey (1988) SAVE FERRIS

I love Crossing Delancey. Especially Isabelle's grandmother, Bubbie (Reizl Bozyk). It always cracks me up when she's in that self-defense class where they're all marching around the room, heads held high, projecting confidence. Bozyk only made two films and one tv appearance in her career.

Some time last year I watched Charade (1963) for the first time on TCM. I didn't intend to, but Audrey Hepburn made me do it. I enjoyed it.

About 12 years ago, TCM showed a batch of early John Ford films including Pilgrimage and The Iron Horse.

Yoyo(1965), as well as a few other films by Pierre Etaix, featured in an entire day of his films a few years ago. Prior to the station's highlighting of his work, I'd never even heard of the guy, despite years of reading classic film books and watching
documentaries on comedies and film comedians. Apparently, his films hadn't been available for viewing before 2010, due to legal issues. Thanks to TCM, I was introduced to a genuine artist of film comedy, someone comparable to Jacques Tati and Chaplin. If you've never seen any of his films, do yourself a favor and watch some of them.

I'm fairly certain I first saw Desk Set (1957) on TCM  |

Too many to list, really, but two that come to mind are from classic Japanese cinema of the 1950s: Ugetsu (1953), and Twenty-Four Eyes (1954). Oh, heck, why stop there: I should probably mention Sansho the Bailiff (1954) as well. Anyway, it was films like these, and others like them, that I first saw on TCM that opened my eyes to a whole new genre - a whole new world, really - of Japanese film. Very rewarding, to say the least.
