Fox Movie Channel classic movie schedule for week of November 9-15
A big week of classics from Fox Movie Channel this week including a total of 25 different pre-1960 titles including 6 on Wednesday alone! That said, my favorite block of time this week has to be Tuesday beginning at 9:30 am when they open with Jules Dassin's "Thieves' Highway" and follow with "Nightmare Alley," which I recommended for recording just last week.
You can find a synopsis of each of the movies showing this week on Fox's own website, but this is just my way of presenting the worthwhile classics that they're airing this week in a way where you won't get distracted by "Satisfaction" and all the other more recent titles that Fox chooses to air.
