TCM's Ryan O'Neal tribute

Ryan O'Neal (l.) and Barbara Streisand in What's Up, Doc? (10:00 PM)

Actor Ryan O'Neal died back in December at the age of 82. Because of the various programming salutes, TCM hasn't been able to get around to doing a tribute to him, but the wait for that is finally over. Tonight (March 20), TCM will be showing five of O'Neal's movies in prime time. Those movies are:

8:00 PM Love Story, in which O'Neal falls in love with tragic Ali McGraw; I think this one might be a TCM premiere;
10:00 PM What's Up, Doc?, which sees Barbra Streisand make O'Neal's life a living hell at a conference of musicologists;
Midnight Nickelodeon, a new-to-me movie about the early years of Hollywood;
2:15 AM Wild Rovers, a heist movie with previous Oscar winners William Holden and Karl Malden alongside O'Neal; and
4:45 AM The Thief Who Came to Dinner, another heist movie, this time with O'Neal and Jacqueline Bisset
