Bravo to David Lean, the cast, and the production team of #DoctorZhivago!!! It was a tremendous box office success and won 5 Oscars. 60 years later, it holds up remarkably well. #TCMParty

Freddie Young is killing it with these shots! #DoctorZhivago #TCMParty

David Lean and cinematographer Freddie Young really capture the beauty and the harshness of the Russian tundra. Super Panavision 70 at its finest. #TCMParty #DoctorZhivago

Nice to see an onscreen appearance of Verna Felton, who also voiced the Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella" (1950). #Picnic #TCMParty

One of my favorite gags from this cartoon "Hair-Raising Hare". #BugsBunny #TCMParty

Interestingly enough, I'm reading a book about Charles Walters, who directed #WalkDontRun. He's a competent studio-era director with several classics to his name, though always underrated and overlooked. #TCMParty

Love this version of #TheEnchantedCottage. It's sincerely romantic and Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young gave heartfelt performances. #TCMParty

Here's a little shoutout to #AliciaMalone. It's always a delight on Sunday afternoons to have her introduce a lineup of movies. #TCMParty

Just finished watching #StandByMe. The ending was coincidentally eerie considering Rob and Michele Reiner was stabbed to death. May they both in peace. #TCMParty

Actor Ossie Davis recites the speech he gave at Malcolm X's funeral, which Spike Lee used as an epilogue. #MalcolmX #TCMParty

There's the famous "Spike Lee dolly shot" in #MalcolmX. #TCMParty

Love Spike Lee's attention to accuracy especially when he recreated this photograph of Malcolm X praying inside a temple in Mecca. #TCMParty #MalcolmX

Al Freeman Jr. (who plays Elijah Muhammad in #MalcolmX) interestingly had portrayed Malcolm X in "Roots: The Next Generation." #TCMParty

Baines (played by Albert Hall) is a composite character of the prison inmates Malcolm X met and influenced his conversion to Nation of Islam. In his autobiography, he writes of Bimbi who was "the first man I had ever seen command total respect … with his words."

Malcolm X's mug shot circa 1946 before his conversion to the Nation of Islam. #MalcolmX #TCMParty

Here's a special mention to Pie the horse. #TheNakedSpur is the third film James Stewart rode him on, following "Winchester 73" and "The Bend of the River". James Stewart and Pie co-teamed together on 14 more Western films. #TCMParty

What a beautiful close-up shot of Patricia Neal, who would have turned 100 years old on January 20. #TheFountainhead #TCMParty

I have "The Muppet Show" to thank for introducing me to that song "Temptation". #TCMParty #GoingHollywood

Just noticed today's afternoon lineup after #NoirAlley was meant to air last year on November 2, but it was postponed when TCM decided to commemorate the entire day to Robert Redford. #TCMParty

The other Tom Hanks movie with a New Year's Day scene. #SleeplessinSeattle #ForrestGump #TCMParty #HappyNewYear
