Let It Ride is one The Movie Channel XE Friday October 1st  @ 3:10 AM pdt

in various Covers polls about gambling movies, it consistantly comes in #1 for comedy. IF you haven't seen it OR just want to record it, here's your chance.

unfortunately, this veiwing is in standard definition and 4X3 TV format. hopefully TMC or some other movie channel will run it in HD in the future.

Thanks for the heads up

Do you know what channel that is on Directv? I found TMCe and TMCw on 554 and 555 but it doesn't seem to be on there. I did a search for "Let it Ride" and nothing came up.

I have Dish-TV and they have four "The Movie Channel" channels, TMC-E #327, TCMX-E #328, TCM-W #329 and TCMX-W #330.

don't know about DirectTV BUT I would think they would have at least the same four

https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/epg/theGuide.jsp shows four TMC channels from Ch 554 thur 556. in fact, they list TMCX-W as an HD channel which is GREAT for you IF you have their HD package because Let It Ride is on THAT channel @ 6:10 AM pdt tomarrow morning.

I don't have 556 so it looks like I won't get to see this movie. Thanks anyway.

On that link though, it says channel 556 is about to show the movie the grand any minute now. My buddy recommended this me a couple weeks ago. He's not into gambling at all either. Here's the info it shows for it

A ne'er-do-well (Woody Harrelson) inherits his grandfather's casino, but must win a high-stakes poker tournament to keep it out of a real-estate tycoon's clutches.

you are NOT missing anything missing "The Grand". pretty sorry ass movie all the way around. ex for Woody, it's a stinker cast and a stinker plot.

REALLY stupid and a waste of film stock. didn't see ONE positive review ANYWHERE. I recorded it and hit the erase early when I went to watch it.

"Am I having a good day or what?"

"The only way Charity can lose is if she's struck by lightening in the starting gate. Do you like the odds on lightening?"

Just watched is last weekend for the 30+ time probably. 

Awesome stereotypes of everyone involved.

Jay Trotter: Who do you like in the second?
Looney: The six horse looks pretty good...
Jay Trotter: [dramatically crosses out the six horse on his racing form] You got a brother?
Looney: In Cleveland.
Jay Trotter: Call him up, ask him who he likes. I figure it's in the blood!

my favorite lines in the movie

Marty: Eight's the one, I'd stake my life on it. 
Jay Trotter: They've got a $2 minimum bet.

Mrs. Davis: There's a fine line between winning and losing. 
Jay Trotter: Yeah. The finish line. 

Counter Girl: You could be walking around lucky, and not even know it. 

and my favorite quote is: Gamblin' involves risk. It involves chance. It involves uncertainty.
