I was looking @ some of AMC's and TCM's schedules and I thought I should post some movies that are going to be on today.

TCM

2:30pm- Oliver! (1968)
Musical version of the Dickens classic about an orphan taken in by a band of boy thieves. Ron Moody, Oliver Reed, Mark Lester. Director: Carol Reed. C-146m

5:00pm-Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
An alienated teenager tries to handle life's troubles and an apron-wearing dad. James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo. Director: Nicholas Ray. C-111m

7:00pm-American Graffiti (1973)
Four high-school seniors face an uncertain future as they try to live through their last big school dance. Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Cindy Williams. Director: George Lucas. C-112m

9:00pm-Rocky (1976)
A dimwitted boxer fights to prove he can go the distance against a glamorous champ. Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith. Director: John G. Avildsen. C-119m

11:00pm-Raging Bull
Hard-hitting biography of middle-weight champ Jake La Motta, whose life was haunted by violence inside and outside the ring. Robert De Niro, Cathy Moriarty, Joe Pesci. Director: Martin Scorsese. C-128m

AMC

8:00pm-The French Connection

This account of one of the largest U.S. drug busts at the time, loosely based on a true story and Robin Moore's book, features one of the most famous chase scenes in film history, as cars careen below the elevated train tracks dodging city traffic. The chase begins when a pair of hard-boiled New York City narcotics detectives uncover an elaborate heroin-smuggling ring headed by a French crime boss. Hackman makes a lasting impression as tough-guy cop Popeye Doyle. Wunderkind Friedkin made his commercial breakthrough and won an Oscar for Best Director. The sequel, "French Connection II" (1975), directed by John Frankenheimer, is okay, too. Academy Award Nominations: 8, including Best Supporting Actor: Roy Scheider; Best Cinematography

Marcel Bozzuffi, Gene Hackman, Bill Hickman, Tony Lo Bianco, Ann Rebbot, Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider, Frederic de Pasquale
