Tonight’s guest programmer is Damien Chazelle. If his name isn’t familiar, his high-energy movies should be: He’s the writer-director of both Whiplash and the musical La La Land. And that’s why his roster of favorite films, presented tonight on TCM, is so inspired and inspiring. His lineup includes a lesser-known MGM Gene Kelly movie, 1955’s It’s Always Fair Weather, at 8 p.m. ET, and showings of 1944’s Meet Me in St. Louis at 11:45 p.m. ET and Charlie Chaplin’s 1931 masterpiece, City Lights, at 2 a.m. ET. But if there’s one film not to miss – and there is – it’s the 10 p.m. ET telecast of 1964’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg by director Jacques Demy, starring the incandescent Catherine Deneuve (pictured), and which Chazelle calls “the greatest movie ever made.” Whether or not his passions are misplaced, they’re precisely why guest programmers are such a valuable part of TCM.
