The following are movies that
might be of interest on Turner Classic Movies in July. All times are CENTRAL.
This month I will again mark all those films not known by me to have been released on video with a thumbs up. This is NOT a specific recommendation, merely a sign that the particular film may otherwise be unavailable.
Following the tradition started by Cameron, I have made every attempt to be inclusive. Some of these films may have relatively brief appearances by the boy actors listed. I enjoy reading commentary on any new film that you may have watched after reading about it here.
