TCM Celebrates its 21st Edition of "31 Days of Oscar" this year from February 1 through March 2 -- in which every film shown is either a past Academy Award winner or nominee. This year's schedule will include 31 films that received the Academy's highest, most prestigious prize for Best Picture of the year (among them the 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty, Casablanca, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Gigi, Lawrence of Arabia, The Sting, Patton and Gandhi). It also means stars galore!
TCM will also be premiering several impressive movies never shown on the channel before including Frenchman's Creek, The Slipper and the Rose, Blood Brothers, Breaking Away, Best Friends and Apollo 13.
TCM also scheduled the 360 films showing during this event in a way that will add to the fun: every movie is linked to the next one by an actor who had a role in both films.
