The story

Houston Public Radio, KUHF 88.7 FM, carried film coverage through a weekly soundtrack program and a long-running screening series. Music From The Movies aired Friday nights at 7:00, produced and hosted by Regina Scruggs, a classical-radio veteran who came to KUHF in 1990 and was described by the station as its film music expert. Episodes in spring 2004 paired music from John Wayne's 1960 The Alamo with the new Alamo film starring Billy Bob Thornton, marked Marlon Brando's 80th birthday with scores from Streetcar to The Godfather, and played Miklos Rozsa and Alfred Newman scores for Good Friday. Scruggs also served as the station's senior film critic and was a founding member of the Houston Film Critics Society in 2007.

The station's film screenings began in October 1995 with Mighty Aphrodite. By August 2007 KUHF had hosted almost 120 preview screenings with distributors such as Miramax, Focus Features and Sony Pictures Classics, averaging about two a month. This research did not find documented start or end dates for the radio show; the Houston Film Critics Society refers to it in the past tense.
