My occasional appearances on “The Dennis Miller Show” have taught me one thing about the avuncular Mr. Miller – the man loves his movies.

So it’s more than fitting that Turner Classic Movies (TCM) tabbed the Emmy-winning comedian to be its guest programmer for October.

Miller, who currently hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, will join TCM Host Robert Osborne in presenting four films Oct. 21.

Each month, TCM invites a celebrity to pick a few of his or her favorite films to introduce on the cable channel and, more importantly, share personal connections to the movies in question.

Other guest programmers will include Richard Lewis (Sept. 21), Sir Anthony Hopkins (Nov. 30) and singer Neko Case (Dec. 8).

Miller’s films include William Wyler’s “Dodsworth” (1936), Carol Reed’s “The Third Man” (1949), Alfred Hitchcock’s “Suspicion” (1941) and “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” (1948).
