TOPIC: Mark's Picks for Turner Classic Movies in November
(comments by Mark R. Leeper and Evelyn C. Leeper)

TCM has several "festivals" in November worth recommending, plus
the tail-end of their series of political films.

The political films have one more Friday night before the election
ends:

FRIDAY,  November 1
  8:00 PM    Being There (1979)
10:30 PM    The Candidate (1972)

SATURDAY,  November 2
12:30 AM    Harlan County, U.S.A. (1976)
  2:30 AM    The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
  4:45 AM    Weekend (1967)

Before that, though, TCM has an entire day of feature films based
on W. Somerset Maugham's works:

FRIDAY,  November 1
  7:45 AM    The Magician (1926)
  9:15 AM    Isle of Fury (1936)

  3:00 PM    Beyond Tomorrow (1940)
  4:30 PM    Blithe Spirit (1945)

Since this was originally a Bell Labs clubzine, we have to mention
the day of films about scientists:

WEDNESDAY,  November 27
  6:00 AM    So Goes My Love (1946)
  7:45 AM    The Story of Doctor Carver (1938)
