Summer Under the Stars 2016 Preview

Source

*sings loudly and off-key* It's almost the most wonderful time of the year.......

Summer Under the Stars is next month! Usually, I'll post our preview a couple weeks before the promotion starts because that's when I get access to the list, but this year I was able to get my mitts on it a bit earlier. I got the list from Immortal Ephemera, who'd gotten the preview from the TCM Forums. This year there's a host of names being added whose films I'd never seen before so while there are a few who I would have liked to see on this year's list, I'm excited at the prospect of seeing so many new films. Let's get to the lineup!

So that's our lineup for this year! The schedule here for the month will be a repeat of last year so each day's preview will go live at midnight MST (I know, nobody does anything in MST but that's where I'm at lol) and the rest of the site content will go dark for the month so I can focus on SUTS. I've found that trying to maintain a regular schedule along with SUTS overwhelms me a bit so focusing on the movies works best for me. I'll be on Twitter for as many of our Daily Cinemas as I'm able to catch; these aren't like TNTs that I make a point to watch but more like a suggested movie for the day. I'm still going to watch as many as I can. I'm tired of killing my DVR trying to record them all then forgetting about them. LOL But anywho, what'd you think of this year's lineup? Were there any names you wish had been included in the list? Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at this year's SUTS and I'll see you soon!
