What's a movie you would've never seen except for TCM?

Often, we see complaints about TCM not showing this or that movie enough, but I often have the opposite feeling which is that they've exposed me to literally 100's of movies I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Bill Hader picking "Kanal" a few weeks ago is a good example as I had never even heard of this movie before, and the same thing for 1975's "Maitresse" which aired on Alicia Malone's Sunday night imports thing or "Drunken Angel" on Noir Alley a couple of weeks ago. Even though I'm pretty well set on American movies, I guess TCM has made the biggest difference in foreign films or nearly lost black-and-white American movies from yesteryear like "The Fool Killer" which John Carpenter picked last year. I could've lived to be 100 and probably never seen these movies if they weren't on TCM during a theme night I might record.

But how about you?
