1. As usual, TCM gets points for variety.

The Tin Drum and Friendly Persuasion in the same evening?

And I haven't seen Missing since I was a university student, but over the last few days I got into an online argument about Pinochet, so it's a bit of synchronicity that it should turn up on the TCM schedule.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Be warned, though, it is utterly devastating to watch.

2. Drat--

I missed 'Missing', but I was able to put it in my Netflix queue. Reading the reviews about it, it seems like a good watch-
