TCM is my standby channel. It's my #1 reason for keeping cable.

M is one of my favorite movies of all-time, I'm sad I missed it.

Anybody care to give some recommendations off this list? I've just now started watching films like this in the last few months . I enjoyed all the Bogart movies listed and M

I haven't seen that many of them, but The Glass Key was one I liked. For fun, you might read the novel by Hammett and then watch the movie, and THEN watch the Coen bros' Miller's Crossing.
I also got into Graham Greene for a while, so something like The Ministry of Fear could be cool if you're in the early espionage genre.

I'm looking forward to seeing "Nightmare Alley"

I finally got a chance to watch "Out of the Past" and it was excellent. Robert Mitchum was outstanding in the lead role. He had that laid back but in control vibe down pat. Jane Greer was stunning. I can understand how she had the men all wrapped around her finger. It was a nice surprise to see a young Kirk Douglas, I almost didn't recognize him.
I still have "The Third Man" on the DVR I need to watch.
Here is the schedule for July

Well I just now noticed the thread so I missed whatever was on earlier today.
Put starting at 2pm They Live by Night is a pre-Bonnie and Clyde lovers on the run movie. They Live by Night Nicholas Ray's directorial debut.
White Heat at 5pm
Raoul Walsh directs James Cagney in one of his most famous roles. Must see for anybody who loves gangster flicks. White Heat
The Big Clock 7pm If you're familiar with the 1987 Kevin Costner movie No Way Out its a remake of The Big Clock both very good movies.
The Long Goodbye 1:30am Is to the noir/detective genre's version of the revisionist western. Elliott Gould's Philip Marlowe is a man out of his time for the 1970's. I don't like ever
Robert Altman film but this one happens to be on my favorite 70s movies. The Long Goodbye

That's a great one. Wish I would have noticed this thread a month earlier. I've seen a good 95% of those movies.

Out of the Past is one of my 2 favorite noir movies and Mitchum is a great noir actor.
A lot of good ones on the list. "Asphalt Jungle" is very good; same lead actor (Sterling Hayden) and similar to Kubric's noir "The Killing", my other favorite. (which I don't see on the TCM list).
Long Goodbye is my favorite Chandler novel, but I never saw the movie.
I don't like Hitchcock noir for some reason. Prefer his technicolor 50s movies and Psycho.

Watching Red Light 1949 now. Love George Raft in everything I've seen him in. It's also got Raymond Burr (Perry Mason on TV, villain from Rear Window, Ironside TV, etc.) and Harry Morgan (MASH TV). It's OK.
Going to watch these:
8:45 Central: Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
Director: Robert Aldrich.
Stars: Ralph Meeker, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Cloris Leachman, Wesley Addy, Nick Dennis, Maxine Cooper, Gaby Rodgers, Jack Elam, Strother Martin, Jack Lambert.
Meeker is a perfect Mike Hammer in moody, fast, and violent adaptation of Mickey Spillane novel. Years ahead of its time, a major influence on French New Wave directors, and one of Aldrich's best films. Leachman's film debut.
10:45 Central: On Dangerous Ground (1952)
Director: Nicholas Ray.
Stars: Ida Lupino, Robert Ryan, Ward Bond, Charles Kemper, Anthony Ross, Ed Begley, Ian Wolfe, Cleo Moore, Olive Carey.
Effective mood-piece with hardened city cop Ryan softened by blind- girl Lupino, whose brother is involved in rural manhunt. Bernard Herrmann's score was reportedly his favorite work. Produced by John Houseman.
Set the DVR for:
12:30 Central: The Hitchhiker (1953)
Director: Ida Lupino.
Stars: Edmond O'Brien, Frank Lovejoy, William Talman, Jose Torvay.
Well-made suspense yarn about two men on a hunting trip whose car is commandeered by a murderous fugitive. Good performances, especially by a venal Talman in the title role, but the film's once-powerful impact has been muted by decades of more graphic and imaginative films.

I recorded Side Street, Caged and D.O.A. from earlier today. I also have Dangerous Ground and The Hitchhiker set to record.
I watched "The Window" the other and it was excellent. I laughed when Mr Kellerson knocked Tommy out in the back of the cab. The fact that the cab driver didn't do Air say anything bothered me.

Pretty solid suspense noir. Ida Lupino showing off her directing chops.

Side street is just ok. D.O.A. and Caged are both awesome though.
There's actually an 80's remake of D.O.A. with Dennis Quaid and a young Meg Ryan.
Not as good as the original but highly enjoyable.

I set Raw Deal to record. It's going to take me a week to watch all these movies

*Edit my apologies. Since my last day of work this week I thought it was Friday. 
Well for today I'd mostly stick with the primetime lineup but a couple of the daytime ones aren't bad.
Primetime:
Strangers On A Train
Hitchcock, nuff said
Too Late For Tears
I'm even setting my dvr for this one. Highly acclaimed film noir that I've never seen. It's been in the public domain forever but that's why I put off watching it cause all the prints I could find are of poor quality. Will be nice being able to see in clear on TCM.
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
I don't want to say too much about this one other than just watch it. I think its a great movie and one of my favorite noirs. Stars Kirk Douglas, Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin and a sexy Lizabeth Scott star of the aforementioned Too Late For Tears.
99 River Street
One of the more brutal noirs you'll see. Anybody who thinks the 50s was all white picket fences and Leave It To Beaver should watch this one.
Conflict
Not the best Bogart movie but its still Bogart and worth watching just to see him play the villain.
Klute
One of my favorite 70s movies. Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland act there asses off.
