La versión latinoamericana de Turner Classic Movies sigue mejorando.
Finalmente han copiado de su hermano norteamericano, y ya no pasan versiones dobladas, no hay cortes comerciales, y, en su mayor parte, las películas son presentadas en su aspect ratio original. ¿De qué servía tener una versión regional de este canal, si en principio violaba esas tres que son las reglas fundamentales de la versión norteamericana?
Ahora, sin esos errores del pasado, TCM Latinoamérica estará presentando del 1 al 25 de diciembre la tercera edición de su serie de 50 películas que todo cinéfilo dedicado debe ver antes de morir. Todas han sido extraídas de uno de los Top 10 del American Film Institute.
Hay montones de omisiones y títulos que no merecen estar, las listas del AFI no son perfectas, pero es imposible debatir la importancia del 90% de las películas incluídas aquí:
