Happy July, everyone! With summer now in full swing, TCM has plenty of great movies to watch on hot summer nights. Maureen O’Hara is July’s Star of the Month and will be featured every Tuesday night this month. TCM will also be commemorating the hundredth anniversary of World War I every Friday by showing some of the best WWI movies, including The Big Parade, Sergeant York, Grand Illusion, and All Quiet on the Western Front, just to name a few.
The night I am most looking forward to this month is July 10th. TCM will be featuring six classic documentaries such as Salesman, Harlan County USA, and Sans Soleil. I really like documentaries and that night’s movies is a nice mix of things I’m looking forward to re-watching and ones I’ve been wanting to see.
