Christmas is over, yet the weather outside remains frightful. It’s not so great for anyone looking to spend the day grilling or going on a hike, but it is excellent weather for sitting down in front of the TV and catching some fantastic films on TCM.
This week, TCM continues its tribute to working stiffs with airings of 9 to 5, The Full Monty, and Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. The channel will also mount a tribute to child star of Little Women Margaret O’Brien, and run an evening-long celebration of Alan Arkin, with films like The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Wait Until Dark, the rare movie where Arkin plays a villain. Plus, catch an evening of ’70s medical thrillers, Irish rock ‘n’ roll classic The Commitments, Barbara Streisand’s beloved ’90s romance The Prince of Tides, Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me, and much more.
