Ben as TCM Guest Programmer

From: TCM.com

Ben McKenzie, this month’s Guest Programmer, has become a television superstar thanks to his roles as Ryan Atwood in Fox’s teen drama The O.C. and as Ben Sherman in the gritty crime series Southland, currently showing on TNT. McKenzie also has earned awards and solid reviews for his acting in such films as Junebug (2005), 88 Minutes (2008) and Johnny Got His Gun (2008).

Film fan McKenzie says programming movies from the vast TCM library is “hard work,” and he has settled on an eclectic mix of dramas and comedies that span the decades. He tells host Robert Osborne that Terrence Malick’s atmospheric thriller Badlands (1973) is one of his all-time favorites and “one of the reasons I became an actor.” As a fan of sports movies, McKenzie admires both the book This Sporting Life and the 1963 film version starring Richard Harris in a “terrific” performance as a tough rugby player.

For a comic change of pace McKenzie picks Duck Soup (1933) because, with the Marx Brothers, “Everything is on the table–they will make fun of absolutely everything. This one takes aim at the political establishment, government, war.” McKenzie first saw David Lean’s The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) on television as a youngster and enjoyed its adventure, then later came to appreciate its “great performances” and stirring themes of “patriotism, loyalty and honor.”
