AFI 100 Films on TCM & On Demand

[bleary 333]

I decided to make a separate thread for this, since it's rare that we get an episode on a film that coincides with the time that it plays on TCM, but a large number of the AFI Top 100 films play on TCM (and are usually subsequently available for 7 or 8 days on WatchTCM online, found here: http://www.tcm.com/watchtcm/films/?ecid=subnavmoviesondemand ).  As we approach TCM's Oscar celebration in February, there should be more available than usual.  Not every single film that plays on TCM goes up online for the next week, but it seems to be the case often enough that it's always worth checking.  I know these still are unlikely to coincide with the episodes, but in case people are interested in watching them earlier/later, or if you have a DVR and want to record them and save them for later, here's the schedule of AFI films that I could find:

If TCM wants to be on top of things, they should match up with Unspooled.  Like put all the Mr. Tibbs movies up there this week, maybe another Jewison movie or two, and they'd monopolize my viewing for sure.  Throw Searchers and a handful of John Wayne classics up next week, etc.  I always wish I had more time to explore the movies adjacent to the AFI/Unspooled (by director or content), but we only get a week before the next movie and that would be so handy.

Also when are Paul & Amy going to host some programming on there?  And Paul & June & Jason too.  There's some untapped potential for TCM!  Call me TCM
