TCM's Guest Programmer spotlight seemed to be on hiatus for a while, but recently it's come back. Not too long ago there was Julie Andrews selecting several of her movies. Now, we've got actor Sterling K. Brown, who st down with Ben Mankiewicz and is presenting four of his favorite movies on the channel tonight.
I have to admit that I watch very little episodic television, so although I recognize the show This Is Us by title I've never seen an episode of that, or any of the other shows TCM's page for him lists him as having been in. Having said that, he's got an interesting selection of movies:
To Kill a Mockingbird at 8:00 PM, in which Gregory Peck defends a black man in a racially-charged case in 1930s Alabama;
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf at 10:30 PM, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton arguing over and after dinner and horrifying their two guests;
Cool Hand Luke at 1:00 AM, starring Paul Newman as a chain-gang prisoner who eats a bunch of hard-boiled eggs; and
The Pink Panther at 3:15 AM, with Peter Sellers playing inept detective Inspector Clouseau and causing chaos around him.
