Ken's idea was for me and him and Brandon (the other regular TFM contributor) to imagine that we were guest programmers on Turner Classic Movies and pick three films to talk about. We'd introduce them, talk about why we liked them, and give some background information and trivia if we wanted. I was totally into it.
I'll let you visit TFM to read my posts (and Ken's and Brandon's), but the films I picked were Alfred Hitchcock's silent version of The Lodger, the under-appreciated British horror classic Night of the Demon, and Tom Berenger's hilarious Western parody Rustlers' Rhapsody. Click the links or each picture below to go to the appropriate post.
My main criterion at first was simply that I wanted to choose from three different movie eras, but I ended up finding a recurring theme that tied them all together. I explain more about that in the Rustlers' Rhapsody entry.
Anyway, thanks so much to Ken for asking me to participate. It was a lot of fun and I'd love to do it again.

'Night of the Demon' was one of those gems that I discovered when we had night access to the film department and Brandon University during my teen summers. I watched this one many times. This was a great, interesting post to read.
I can't thank you enough for the help. I knew I had a topic right in your wheelhouse.
I'll be checking out Rustler's Rhapsody as soon as I can find it.
Always nice to hear Night of the Demon getting some more love. Thanks, Cal!
And Ken, please let me know what you think of RR when you see it. If we lived closer, I'd have had you over already. :)
