The problem with IFC is that, unlike TCM and Sundance, they don't "respect" the film classics which they show. By that I mean they display their logo in the bottom right corner of the screen for the entire duration of the film and the end credits are cropped for promos. Between films there are commercials with stupid tie-ins.
It's annoying they try so hard to be "hip" by endlessly pitching to Generation X or Y or whatever it is nowadays.Thank goodness I saw most of these classics in the 1970's at Carnegie Hall Cinema, Bleeker Street Cinema, The Elgin, The Thalia, and The Regency revival houses in NYC and the Park Theatre in New Jersey.
TCM recently had a salute to Janus Films mini-festival where I finally caught up the 1955 Spanish classic "Death of a Cyclist".
You have TCM and Sundance and the masterful Criterion dvd editions to see these great films the right way!
