I hope Mankiewicz, Malone, Karger, et. al., are reading this ...

I would LOVE to see TCM show ALL the Best Picture Oscar winners, starting with Wings (1927), and then I think Broadway Melody was the second one, and then I think All Quiet on the Western Front was the third one, and then all the others, in chronological order of release date and the year it was awarded Best Picture. TCM could do this every night during prime time hours until they had shown all the Best Picture winners. How long would that take? If prime time is 7-11 p.m., that's four hours every night, assuming they would do this all seven nights of the week, and each film would run an average of a two-hour time slot (although a few of them run three or even four hours), that would be on average two films per night, or 14 per week. At that rate it would take seven or eight weeks to go through all of the Best Picture Oscar winners. An ambitious project, but I would LOVE to see TCM do it.

Some years back there was a grocery store where I live in which the video rental department had most of the Best Picture winners lined up on a couple of the shelves in their store. Not quite all of them were represented there, but I went on a mission to see all of the ones I had never seen. Hamlet (1948) was one of the two or three that were not there, and I had some trouble finding a copy of it, but I finally did. Now, I have seen all of the Best Picture winners up until the third Lord of the Rings movie, and I also haven't seen a few of the very recent ones. But for TCM to undertake this project would facilitate that mission for film lovers like me who would want to undertake it. And I think that's one of the purposes of TCM, isn't it?

As I said, I hope Mankiewicz, Malone, Karger, et. al., are reading this. I just want to put the idea in their heads ...

or control or have rights to air (MGM, United Artists, RKO, Warner Bros.). One reason you don't see a lot of Shirley Temple or Betty Grable films, for instance, is because they were produced by 20th Century Fox -- and under the control of whoever owns the Fox library today.
