CULVER CITY, Calif., Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- getTV is turning one on Tuesday, February 3, and viewers are invited to the birthday party! To commemorate this milestone day, the network will take to Twitter and Facebook at 6 a.m. PT, encouraging viewers to share their own film stories, favorite classics, and more using #1STMovieMemory, while testing their knowledge of Oscar®-themed trivia. Additionally, the month includes a new Tuesday block (The Year Was), as well as premieres of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (February 1) and HIS GIRL FRIDAY (February 4)—both making their debuts on getTV.

Start each week with Jack Lemmon in 10 of the Oscar®-winner's finest films, Monday nights in February. The block includes Lemmon and Judy Holliday in IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU and PHFFFT! (February 2); MY SISTER EILEEN with Janet Leigh, and THREE FOR THE SHOW with Betty Grable (February 9); YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT with June Allyson, and BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE with James Stewart (February 16); and FIRE DOWN BELOW with Rita Hayworth, THE WACKIEST SHIP IN THE ARMY, and LUV with Peter Falk (February 23).

getTV celebrates Black History Month on Tuesday, February 20 at 1 p.m. ET, with a five-film marathon headlined by a special Sidney Poitier birthday double feature. Legendary poet and activist Maya Angelou shines as Miss Calypso in the 1957 musical CALYPSO HEAT WAVE; Ethel Waters raises a rowdy tomboy in THE MEMBER OF THE WEDDING; and Dorothy Dandridge marries an up-and-coming athlete in THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS. Then, Oscar®-winning icon Sidney Poitier commands respect in ALL THE YOUNG MEN, and gets caught in a submarine battle in THE BEDFORD INCIDENT.

getTV debuts "The Year Was," a themed block celebrating cinema through the ages and spotlighting movies from a particular year, every Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. The theme for February is romance, with a lineup that includes Lana Turner and Cliff Robertson in LOVE HAS MANY FACES (February 3) from 1965; Marlene Dietrich and Fred MacMurray in THE LADY IS WILLING, and Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas in THEY ALL KISSED THE BRIDE (February 10), both from 1942; Deborah Kerr and Van Johnson in the 1955 drama THE END OF THE AFFAIR (February 17); a pair of 1939 dramas featuring Barbara Stanwyck and William Holden in GOLDEN BOY, and Cary Grant and Jean Arthur in ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS (February 24); and much more.

Spend Valentine's Day with some of Hollywood's greatest Western heroes in a six-film marathon at 2:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 14. The Durango Kid rides to the rescue in THE ROUGH, TOUGH WEST and THE BLAZING TRAIL; Roy Rogers is wrongly accused in MY PAL TRIGGER, with Gabby Hayes; Susan Hayward is out for revenge in TULSA; a kindly woman nurses a gruff gunslinger back to health in ANGEL AND THE BADMAN, starring the incomparable John Wayne; and Raymond Burr hunts for cursed gold in SECRET OF TREASURE MOUNTAIN.

And don't miss four more classic masterpieces in the Silver Screen Favorites block, every Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. Desperate reporter Clark Gable falls for runaway bride Claudette Colbert in Frank Capra's five-time Oscar-winner IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (February 1); Ryan O'Neal and Burt Reynolds explore the Golden Age of film in NICKELODEON (February 8); Cary Grant tries to win back Rosalind Russell in HIS GIRL FRIDAY (February 15); and Katharine Hepburn wants to lobotomize Liz Taylor in the 1959 Tennessee Williams adaptation SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER (February 22).
