I have to pay extra to get TCM or I would. They do have a nice array of films. (The cable companies figured out early on that if they wanted more people to pay the inflated fees to cover all of the sports channels they needed to make people who were just there for films pay a premium for that access.) The over-the-air channel here simply called Movies has noir and B-rated movies on Thursdays and Sundays. Some small films slip into obscurity so are difficult to find later. There was a film that had a lot of sailing, wonderful to watch, called Riddle of the Sands set several years prior to WWI, that will probably never see light of day again. It was a gorgeous little film.
