1. Got testosterone?

Look at that schedule! Westerns, POW dramas, and literary adaptations from the guys (Faulkner, Twain).

I must confess to having seen relatively few Steve McQueen films and won't be able to catch most of what's on tonight. The Reivers in particular intrigues me, as does the original Thomas Crown Affair (I saw the remake).
