Laurel and Hardy Marathon on Turner Classic Movies January 7

Good news my fellow Laurel and Hardy lovers on January 7, Turner Classic Movies will play a marathon of great Laurel and Hardy films on January 7. It will begin at 5pm Pacific and 8pm Eastern. The line up is a fantastic one that includes both features and shorts and includes some of their most beloved films as well as some overlooked gems. All except for one come from the Hal Roach studios and all the films are talkies. This will be a must watch for all who have TCM and love Laurel and Hardy.


The line-up is as follows.


The Music Box (1932, short subject), Busy Bodies (1933, short subject), Way Out West (1937, feature film), Sons of the Desert (1933, feature film), Tit for Tat (1935, short subject), Swiss Miss (1938, feature film), Pack Up Your Troubles (1932, feature film), Air Raid Wardens (1943, feature film (the only non-Hal Roach film in the line up, made for MGM), Brats (1930, short subject), A Chump at Oxford (1940, feature film).


My only complaint is that I would have enjoyed a silent film being included in the mix. However this is a minor complaint when the line up is as spectacular as this.
