Culture Vulture Films!

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is hosing an Oscar themed film festival during the month of February. Now there is no excuse for not knowing where to find a quality Culture Vulture film!

Doreian's Picks:
The Great Escape, February 6 at 5pm

Steve McQueen leads an all star cast that includes James Garner, Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasance, who are all aiming at a common goal of escaping from a German POW camp. It's incredible to see how this film showcased all the work that had to be done to accomplish this, as well as following several of the escapees' adventures outside the camp in their quests to find ultimate freedom from the Nazis.

6:00 PM The Pink Panther (’64) (David Niven, Claudia Cardinale)
Casablanca, February 14 at 8pm

Those who are really into romantic movies should watch this classic at least once in their lifetime and learn that love doesn't always mean fulfilling your own selfish desires. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are the memorable lovers whose lives are affected by World War II and having to outwit the Nazis as well as the fact that Bergman is married to another man. What an appropriate Valentine's Day selection.
