Flicks & Forks Films Showing in June
Set Your DVRs for This Month's Must-Watch Films
I usually share updates about upcoming films in my Notes, but this month is a blockbuster! Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is showcasing not one, not two, but FOUR fantastic films in June. I couldn’t just squeeze all that excitement into a single Note—it needed a bigger spotlight!
So, set your DVRs for the following films:
Saturday, June 7 at 6:00 pm: Get ready for laughs and lessons with
Born Yesterday (1950)! Watch Judy Holliday shine as the not-so-dim girlfriend who turns the tables on her crooked businessman beau—all with a little help from charming William Holden. A witty and heartwarming classic that's as fresh today as ever!
Sunday, June 8 at 5:45 pm: In A Summer Place (1959), an electrifying tale of forbidden romance unfolds as an adulterous couple stirs up drama—and their kids take things to the next level with their own sizzling love story. Passion, secrets, and summer vibes collide in this unforgettable classic! This film stars Sandra Dee, Troy Donahue, Dorothy McGuire, and Richard Egan.
Monday, June 9 at 6:00 pm: Prepare for edge-of-your-seat thrills with Hitchcock’s classic Suspicion (1941)! Watch Cary Grant dazzle as the charming rogue and Joan Fontaine masterfully portray the young wife who starts to suspect her dashing husband might not be all he seems. Twists, turns, and suspense galore in this tantalizing tale of love and mystery!
Saturday, June 14 at 5:00 pm: Get ready for a wild, laugh-out-loud adventure with It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)! Picture this: a zany cast of characters, including Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, and more, racing across the countryside in a chaotic scramble for buried treasure. Hilarity, mayhem, and over-the-top antics guaranteed—don’t miss this comic masterpiece that’s as big, bold, and bonkers as its title!
So, settle in for some cinematic magic this month! I can’t wait to dive into these timeless classics again, and I’d love to hear which ones make you laugh, cry, or hold your breath. Please share your favorite movie moments with me!
Enjoy!
