TCM for Friday 2/11

TCM continues with its focus on best actor. These last two days make me realize I am more of an actress aficionado than for actors. Haven't seen as many of these nor do I have as much interest in them.

Recommended:
The Front Page (1931) - Honestly, saw it quite some time ago but remember it to be quite good. Being from '31 doesn't hurt it in getting a recommendation.
Goodbye Mr. Chips (1939) - Not, for me, the best of the '39 films, but it is a must see.
Father Of The Bride (1950) - I enjoyed this film when I saw it several years ago and watch it when it comes on. Engaging and funny.
Network (1976) - Another must see that I haven't seen myself for some time.
Raging Bull (1980) - Quite the amazing film from all perspectives. Could almost make me like boxing films.

Highly Recommended:
I think it has to be Raging Bull because it is the clear classic of the bunch that helped set the terms for much film of the 1980s.

Haven't Seen, but want to:
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) - I keep meaning to watch this as I love Cagney. Maybe I will tomorrow.

Really Not Interested:
The Yearling (1946) - Sorry, but no deer.

The Rest:
The Human Comedy (1943)
The Sunshine Boys (1975)
The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
Tootsie (1982)
The Buddy Holly Story (1978)
