February:
SAT 2/3
4:00 PM: King Solomon's Mines ('50) -- Honestly, is this even SF/fantasy in any way? I guess it sort of is, because it's part of the "Lost World" genre of explorers finding imaginary ancient civilizations. But it's borderline.
SUN 2/4
10:00 AM: The Thief of Bagdad ('40)
TUE 2/6
1:00 PM: Doctor Dolittle ('67): They're showing this one a lot lately. Did they just get the rights? Was there a new restoration recently?
10:15 PM: The Adventures of Robin Hood ('38)
WED 2/7
6:15 AM: Blithe Spirit ('45): Noel Coward ghost comedy. Another one they show a lot lately.
8:00 AM: One Million B.C. ('40): The Carole Landis version, not the Raquel Welch remake.
9:30 AM: Mighty Joe Young ('49)
11:15 AM: The Time Machine ('60)
8:00 PM: 2001: A Space Odyssey ('68)
11:45 PM: Cocoon ('85)
THU 2/8
2:00 AM: Logan's Run ('75)
SUN 2/10
7:30 AM: The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm ('62)
12:15 PM: Knights of the Round Table ('53): Arthurian romance with Robert Taylor & Ava Gardner. I'm never sure whether to count King Arthur movies without magical/divine elements, but I guess they count as much as Robin Hood does.
MON 2/11
3:45 AM: Camelot ('67): See above. Musical treatment of the same love triangle.
WED 2/14
2:00 PM: Here Comes Mr. Jordan ('41)
SUN 2/18
11:15 AM: Topper ('37)
THU 2/22
6:00 AM: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ('32): The good one! (Where it's pronounced correctly as "Jee-kle" instead of "Jeckle.")
SUN 2/25
5:30 AM: A Midsummer Night's Dream ('35)
WED 2/28
Midnight: Hamlet ('48): It's got a ghost, so it's genre. Plus, in addition to Laurence Olivier in the lead and Jean Simmons as Ophelia, it has some notable genre actors in minor roles: Patrick Troughton as the Player King, Peter Cushing as Osric, and Christopher Lee as an extra.
2:45 AM: Around the World in 80 Days ('56)
My, I'm chatty this month. I'm in a mood today. Well, it's a short list anyway.
