TCM's 2015 31 Days of Oscar Schedule

It happens every year, just like clockwork. Turner Classic Movies shows some of the very best movies ever made during its 31 Days of Oscar salute.  Here is the schedule below. Set your DVRs!  (Especially since, inexplicably, some of the most popular movies seem to be on in the middle of the night)

I have highlighted my most favorite recommendations in red. Not that that doesn't mean I don't recommend other movies on this long list. Just that these are the ones I return to again and again.

For more info, go to TCM.com

Enjoy!
