Call in sick

[Psychographic]

If you're a fan of old racing movies, you might want to call in sick from work on the 14th.

Long list. What movie are you looking forward to seeing?

Would be easier if you just listed what we are supposed to ditch work for.

Looks like everything from 6 AM to 8 PM on the 14th is vintage racing stuff. 1929-1968. Cars, airplanes, motorcycles. Pretty cool.

Forget the racing movies, look at all those horror movies towards the end of the month! That's the best part of October.

You can call and say you have the optical anal flu.  That is when you just can't see your sorry ass going to work that day.

I love how half the film descriptions begin with "A racing driver..."

Wow, thats a cool list. Sadly we don't have that TCM here anymore, we have gotten a TCM Nordic that only sends movies made after 2000 or so. It has really lost it's glory latley.

No, I think it would be easier for you to click on the link and scroll down.

Thanks for the heads-up.  If you think you are seeing double/going crazy while watching "Indianapolis Speedway" (1939), you've probably seen the first version of it, "The Crowd Roars" with James Cagney, made in 1932.

"Speedway" not only re-cycled the script, sometimes with word-for-word dialogue - it also used racing/crash footage from the 1932 movie.  It even re-cycled actors!  Regis Toomey and Frank McHugh play the same characters in "Indianapolis Speedway" that they played in "The Crowd Roars."

See, not much has changed in Hollywood since 1932...

I know where I will be on the 14th
