Some good ones there. There are times I wish I had TCM, but I'm unwilling to pay for cable or sat.

Never heard of Bob Le Falmbeur but it sounds like something I'd love.

I have friends who think Easy Rider has a happy ending.

Some Kind of a Nut looks good too.

My guilty pleasure would be Bye Bye Birdie - a riot of self-consciousness and not-quite-cool!
Happy viewing and writing in 2013, David.

I love, love, LOVE TCM... but I hate Westerns. It always annoys me when they go on a "Western binge" or a "John Wayne binge" and leave me for days with nothing to DVR. 8-)

P.S. Have you ever seen "The Guilt of Janet Ames"? It's a good-un.

Thanks Deborah, and same to you. I'm looking forward to your new novel.
