    TCM is more than a channel or network. It is now an essential part of Hollywood history. No one has done more to elevate classic film and educate its viewers on all genres of film and making them accessible. Here's to 30 more great years and beyond!

    Memo to Warner Discovery: DO NOT gut TCM and do not take it off, as has been threatened in the past. Don't turn it into another AMC, which also did a fine job of keeping great old movies alive until it became "The Walking Dead". Let it be what it is. Congrats on surviving 30!

    “Robert Osborne Introductions All Day April 14th”
    Yes! For years, I’ve been saying to friends, family, or whoever will listen that TCM should bring back Robert’s wraps. Maybe one night a month as a modern version of the old “Robert’s Picks” block. As long as there’s no legal obstacle to it, I’m not sure what could prevent it.
    But anyway, I’ll definitely be recording and tuning in 4/14. I hope there are more of those nights in TCM’s future, too!

    My wife and I both love TCM, not just for the films they show, but for their knowledgeable presenters, the extras between films, the "TCM Remembers" tributes, all of it. We'd still be watching it if Comcast hadn't taken it away to a more expensive tier of subscription. Hopefully we can get access to it again one day. Thanks, all of you at TCM for three decades of celebrating cinema...and doing it with style!

I've been watching this channel daily for 16 years and the fact that in 13 days it's the 30th birthday of its existence stuns me. Thank you TCM, Robert Osborne, Ben, Alicia, Jacqueline, Dave and especially Eddie.

    i grew up watching TCM. i'd check their schedule on the 1st of every month, mark which movies were a must watch. the ones in the middle of the nite i'd tape on my VCR and watch the following day. robert osborne was the best. listening to him discuss the film before and after was almost as enjoyable as the film itself. i watched so many classics. films by robert altman, woody allen, kurosawa, hitchcock, chaplin, billy wilder, orson welles, sidney lumet, john huston. films with marlon, and audrey, and katharine, and cary grant, and jimmy stewart and humphrey bogart, and paul newman... so many wonderful movies. movies with humor, movies with powerful messages, movies that were fun and entertaining, movies that made you think and laugh and cry. movies with real lasting power. these filmmakers and actors remain immortal through celluloid. they will outlive us all, the way shakespeare and mozart have outlived us all.

      I am still watching films i recorded on my VCR, and later transferred to DVD. Watching some for the very first time now in 2024. The other night, I put on a TCM recorded DVD of "Brighton Rock" , The British film Noir, I still had never seen. I was astonished to see that I had recorded it in March 2008 - 16 years ago! Finally watched it, and it's a keeper.

    TCM is the one channel I cannot, will not live without! The cable lineup makes it more difficult and more expensive to access every year, but I will never give it up. I miss Robert Osborne like crazy, but I live for Noir Alley. Eddie and I go back 20+ years to the S.F. Film Noir Festival. ❤️❤️❤️ him and film noir could not be in better hands. Not to mention the constant parade of the finest Hollywood has to offer, in restored condition and gloriously uncut. It doesn’t get any better than this. Please don’t take our favorite channel away. I would cancel cable altogether.
    You know what they say: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Here’s to 30 more. And credit where credit is due: THANK YOU, Ted Turner! Thanks to everyone, Dave, Jacqueline, Ben, Alicia, et al., who make watching TCM such a wonderful experience.

    The astonishing beauty of TCM is that the community created itself out of our deep love of movies, joined by the hosts (including Robert Osborne) and, finally, the current filmmakers like Marty, Steven, and many more. There is a DEEP sense of all being in it together, which orgasms during the Festival. Before TCM we were alone in the dark.

    It's the only cable channel I would pay for. The only one that's worth it. When I was growing up I saw all of the old b/w movies on local and prime-time network tv ("Saturday Night at the Movies" on NBC, e.g.), and The Wizard of Oz every year on network tv. On Sundays, WTTG in D.C. would show back to back movies from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. so I watched 4 classic films straight through every weekend. That was my education. And it formed and informed me far more than school or church or anything else ever did. On saturdays we always went downtown to one of 3 theaters to see the latest films for fifty cents (candy bars were 3 for 13 cents.) The 2nd film I ever saw in a theater was Auntie Mame (the first was Tom Thumb.) I still vividly remember seeing West Side Story and Lawrence of Arabia and The Birds on the big screen for the first time. Later on when I moved to NYC I spent so much time in rep theaters seeing all of the foreign and other classic films I'd only read about previously. TCM is ESSENTIAL.

Glad to see they added racial filmmakers and narrators to broaden the culture and showcase movies never reached major box office attention.

I would unquestionably subscribe to any service that offered TCM, even if I had to cancel others.
