LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. author Ray Bradbury has agreed to be November's guest programmer on Turner Classic Movies, the channel announced.

Each month, TCM invites a celebrity to pick a few favorite movies and share with viewers what he or she has come to love about each one.

The 88-year-old "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "Fahrenheit 451" author is scheduled to join TCM host Robert Osborne Nov. 20 for this month's guest programmer movie showcase.

The films Bradbury selected are the 1925 version of "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Rebecca" and "Citizen Kane."
