This one is perfect.... the song selection , the pacing , the impeccable timing of the fades to black and the stills , how every single person gets seemingly their own hour to shine, I love all of these memoriams, but 2007 and 2008 are a cut above
Whoever had the foresight to marry this song, with this touching montage tribute to film makers that passed that year, deserves the highest praise. Its poignancy delivers apt shivers. There will never be a more perfect background composition to spark sorrows and joys and awe, as these fleeting images of our icons pass before our eyes, knowing that their towering brilliance has gone out, only to reemerge in our own spirit! May this elegy always be available for generations to treasure. Thank you.
I’m sorry about your fiancé. I couldn’t agree more that the 2007 TCM Remembers song is the best ever.... When I watched this in 2007, I was 45...I lost my health, professional career & life savings. No Biggie, my high school sweetheart is still my wife & best friend and all 3 of our children are loving, intelligent and successful...
Lois Maxwell - Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films - is followed by Barry Nelson, the first actor to play Bond (the US TV series 'Climax' adaptation of "Casino Royale"). Brilliant editing.
This is my favorite "TCM Remembers". I am a huge fan of Betty Hutton and I love this song, so I have returned a number of times to keep watching this. I never realized until now that Lois Maxwell and Barry Nelson are shown back to back; Miss Moneypenny and the first man to play James Bond!! I am a major fan of the James Bond films and should have caught this long ago! Truly brilliant editing by those who so lovingly put these together each year!!
This was a beautiful TCM Remembers tribute--I ended up taping it that year because it was so poignantly done--and the song Promises by Badly Drawn Boy was perfect.
This was the first TCM in memorian that I saw. I remember thinking how beautiful this was. And I use to say how all the other award shows should take note.
Richard Jeni. God, what a tragedy. I remember discovering his standup comedy in the early 90s--he made me laugh so hard, he was effortlessly funny. I was so shocked, felt so sad to learn of his death. RIP.
That last scene cuts me like a knife. I cannot handle all of the emotions that that brings. His memory of childhood summers. The children waving from afar. This to me is so very hard to see, but I must. I love Blow-up, but this, this is too much. This is amazing to lose Two Giants within days of one another. Actually, I think they left us on the Same day. This World of film is all that has survived from paganism. This World could not be defeated!! And will not be!!
Frankie Laine (3:40) is listed as a composer (which implies instrumental) when he was known as a singer and songwriter! From Wikipedia: "His hits included "That's My Desire", "That Lucky Old Sun", "Mule Train", "Jezebel", "High Noon", "I Believe", "Hey Joe!", "The Kid's Last Fight", "Cool Water", "Rawhide", and "You Gave Me a Mountain". He sang well-known theme songs for many Western film soundtracks, including 3:10 To Yuma, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and Blazing Saddles..."
Slow motion images, leaves falling, frames fading in and out, the perfectly apt background music of "Promises", are enough to bring one tear for each artist we've come to know and enjoy. It's almost too heart-rending to take. But the message is more than sorrow alone. There is an uplifting commitment to "promise to remember". In that way, the memories ensure immortality. Lois Maxwell gives the appropriate (only allowed audible line), "Good luck" to Bond and ALL the spirits on THEIR next mission.
Lois Maxwell & Barry Nelson side by side. No accident. At 3:11....Kitty Carlisle's beautiful expression as the song says Promises last forever...breaks my heart each and every time I watch it. Of all TCM's memoriams, this is their greatest one.
This song just makes the whole tribute even more heart breaking. Ive always loved this song but I can't listen to it now without thinking of these people.
Bud Ekins stuntman taught Steve McQueen how to race motocross. Ekins was the one jumping the fence on a motorcycle in The Great Escape. He was Steve McQueen's stunt double in several movies.
@MrMajorTime I agree This has always been my favorite of all the TCM Remembers. 2007 was a difficult period in my life and I will never forget that time during the holidays and years end. Thanks for your thoughts.
*It's 5:03 AM sleep aludes me. I pray a bit, asking Jesus for a car, that I don't need. I turn the computer on, hoping to see if anyone liked the crap, I posted last night on UA-cam.* *No one has liked my crap from last night yet.* *W.C. Fleilds is on the vid screen, fron last night's, but I don't feel like being entertained, when suddenly , I see TCM and then I remember this song and Vid., I am reluctant to hit the clicker, because anytime I hear this song and see the images of people long since dead, many of whom, I don't even know, I cry for some strange reason.* *I try to hold back the tears, but the tears still fall from my eyes, like the rains from the heavens, on a hot humid mid summer day.*. *Every bloody time, I cry. Why?* *I haven't cried in since about two years ago, I don't like to cry.* *My daddy said only sissys cry.* *I'm not a sissy, so why did I cry?( : )*
This is the best TCM Remembers because the song "Promises" by Badly Drawn Boy , .is perfectly married to the montage of the dearly departed & the shots of falling leaves. The 2nd best is TCM Remembers '2003' with another perfect song: "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan. It makes you want to cry. The 3rd best is TCM Remembers 2008 , the song: "God Only Knows" by Joe Henry. All 3 videos make me cry because it's as though the stars are reacting to the music. The looks on some of the faces. The hand waves. The walks out the door. Those who are running along in a scene. Also the smiles. Especially the smiles. If only the Oscar's montage did as well in presenting its "In Memoriam" segment year after year.
Whatever happened to TCM Remembers 2009? I can't seem to find it anywhere on youtube. We lost a lot of great entertainers that year too. This one is very moving.
I feel that way about 2013 - “All I Want” by Kodaline, and 2014 - “In the Embers” by Asleep at Last. Those songs should be used for all of them. So poignant.......
Allen Murray Charles Lane live to be 102 years old, a full life, his 76 years old son said, he got tried, went to bed and went to sleep, he died peaceful.
@inertia2004 Thank you for your kind thoughts. The thing I try to remember always, is that everyone here is equal. The moment anyone thinks of themselves as more or less than anyone else denotes when trouble ensues. Even these great icons of masterpieces and notoriety are not greater than the individuals in the audience they entertain. We are deserving of their artistic offerings. We, the essential part to all the silver screen geniuses just by our love and appreciation kept alive in our hearts.
If you don't mind, Canada lost two performers, and a leader, in 2011. If you are doing one for 2011, can you please include them? The performers are Roger Abbott (Royal Canadian Air Farce) and Wayne Robson (Red Green show). The leader was Jack Layton, NDP leader. Thanks
I was a newspaper reporter for nearly 30 years and one of the interviews which stand out in my memory was Dabbs Greer. I had the privilege to interview him as his hometown was naming the city park in his honor in 2002. He was a humble, charming man who spoke as much on his love of fishing as he did on his acting career. He began his career as a $5 a day extra in the film Jesse James, and had roles in dozens of other films, including Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Con Air, and The Green Mile, the latter his last. He also was in a number of television series, including major roles in Little House on the Prairie and Picket Fences.
Thank you John. It must have been a treat to meet Dabbs. I enjoyed him in Little House and Picket Fences. Sadly, like many character actors, me was over looked.
Today is the *11* year anniversary of when you uploaded "TCM Remembers 2007". 🤓 EDITS- 1:07 A.M.: *finishes video 7 minutes later* I had never heard of most of these people until tonight. 1:12 A.M.: However, that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate TCM's tribute to them!
Im sorry but wtf Deborah Kerr in the middle of the pack? using a weird clip from not even one of her most famous movies? And then not also putting her and her husband back to back? She should have been next to last! if not last! Jane Wyman!? really? Her body of work is nothing compared to Kerr's

I agree....it's the best song for these tributes ever....just perfect
You're so right. It's painful and beautiful.
When actresses and actors were real.
Still the best song for a "remember" yet.
I lost my fiancee on 2007.... It was the right song at the right time for me.
I’m sorry about your fiancé. I couldn’t agree more that the 2007 TCM Remembers song is the best ever.... When I watched this in 2007, I was 45...I lost my health, professional career & life savings.

If this beautiful tribute doesn’t bring you to tears you have no soul.
Lois Maxwell - Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films - is followed by Barry Nelson, the first actor to play Bond (the US TV series 'Climax' adaptation of "Casino Royale"). Brilliant editing.
I wondered if anyone else would catch that. Bravo.

I just noticed that today after 12 years and commented on it and then saw your comment. Great editing by TCM. Wonderful.
I think this is one of the saddest songs ever written.
It’s incredibly sad... enchanting and riveting.
Do you know what the song is called? 🤔
@@thema1998 Promises by Badly Drawn Boy
This one is right up there with “Fireworks” the year Deanna Durbin, Joan Fontaine & Peter O’Toole died.
Miyoshi Umeki - Mrs. Livingston on The Courtship of Eddie's Father TV show. I always wanted a housekeeper like her. So sweet and kind.
I sobbed while hearing & watching this one.
Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007). Images of his masterpiece 'wild strawberries'. An unrepeatable filmmaker.
still the greatest TCM remembers have a great holiday everyone
This was a beautiful TCM Remembers tribute--I ended up taping it that year because it was so poignantly done--and the song Promises by Badly Drawn Boy was perfect.
Masterfull selecting and editing, the song is perfect, maybe the most beautiful tribute of this kind ever, Thank You TMC !!! ❤

Very respectful tribute thanks for this TCM Remembers 2007.
I remember none of her three daughters came to her funeral. How sad, and shame on them.
Who ?
The song and the video are perfection and never fails to bring me to tears and a clean feeling deep in the heart of me, that few know(:)
Absolutely beautiful, this is one of my favorite videos.
It's "Promises" by Badly Drawn Boy..
That last scene cuts me like a knife. I cannot handle all of the emotions that that brings. His memory of childhood summers. The children waving from afar.

Promises usually gets me Misty eyed.
TCM's best moment.

Marian was such a blessed a friend. I can only watch this once
*Jane Wyman/'Johnny Belinda'*
*Still one of the very few 'Immortal Movies'*
3:45 RIP Robert Goulet (Gay Pur-ree and Recess), November 26 1933-October 30 2007.
Bud Ekins stuntman taught Steve McQueen how to race motocross.
Ekins was the one jumping the fence on a motorcycle in The Great Escape.
He was Steve McQueen's stunt double in several movies.
God, to this day I can remember how torn up I was when Ingmar Bergman died.
Charles Lane must have been in every movie in the thirties and forties, and then in every TV show from them on.
Access to T C M abundantly ✨
The best so far thanks for posting

2004mojo I couldn't agree more!
I personally think this and the 2008 one are the best.
+Everything Fangirl Yes, 2008 is a great one .The song "God Only Knows always makes me tear up. I think I have to change my mind. (lol)
So true, 2008 and 2012 is a good fit also. But this one is the Best.
Absolutely!
Andy Sidaris, Director, Producer and Actor.
Whatever happened to TCM Remembers 2009? I can't seem to find it anywhere on youtube. We lost a lot of great entertainers that year too.
This one is very moving.
That last shot was Bergman's favorite of all. He said so on the Dick Cavett show.
they should so use this song on all of the tcm remember vids.
I completely agree... not one song since can hold a candle to the 2007, “Promises”
@@jeffreyadams2521 2015's song by Erin McHugh is my second favorite to this one.
I feel that way about 2013 - “All I Want” by Kodaline, and 2014 - “In the Embers” by Asleep at Last.
Those songs should be used for all of them. So poignant.......
Nah, different songs make each year unique.
Oh Wow, I forgot Yvonne De Carlo " Lily Muster " has pass away,
@MikoMello Thanks I like that one as well but for me its the music for 2007 that really gets me.
Have a great hoilday!
I weep every time!
Gordon Scott, (Tarzan) Kerwin Mathews, and the great character actor Charles Lane; strange year.
Allen Murray Charles Lane live to be 102 years old, a full life, his 76 years old son said, he got tried, went to bed and went to sleep, he died peaceful.
Also sir Ian Richardson (House of Cards, Dark City, etc;)

@jjoeyo It is from "Tea and Sympathy," one of my absolute faves of her films. Beautiful and very talented lady.
I like this T.C.M Remembers montage best only cause I like Badly Drawn Boy singing Promises in it.
Sorry to see Jean Pierre Cassel missing from this list.
thanks! voxelraster, amazing song
I didn't realize that some of these folks were gone.
Jeez Charles Lane seemed old in 1938
He died age age 102 in 2007
That's not the clip of Betty Hutton I remember seeing. She was great!
@inertia2004 you should check out the one for 2010. THAT one is the best one
@ashcarl116 How about Bruce Bennett? I don't he was included either
If you don't mind, Canada lost two performers, and a leader, in 2011. If you are doing one for 2011, can you please include them? The performers are Roger Abbott (Royal Canadian Air Farce) and Wayne Robson (Red Green show). The leader was Jack Layton, NDP leader.

Sadly they missed Dabbs Greer here... :(
Yet they include that human turd Jack Valenti.
@ Robert Goulet was also a singer as well.

Today is the *11* year anniversary of when you uploaded "TCM Remembers 2007". 🤓
EDITS- 1:07 A.M.: *finishes video 7 minutes later*
I had never heard of most of these people until tonight.
1:12 A.M.: However, that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate TCM's tribute to them!
@MikoMello YOU TOO! MERRY X-MAS
What movie is Deborah Kerr in, in her clip? (01:40)
Thanks ahead of time if you know.
I could be mistaken. I don't know if they were still married but Deborah Kerr and Peter Vertel were married and they died in the same year.
Tea and Sympathy
They didn't put Marcia Mae Jones in there :(
who is the song & artist for TCM Remembers 2015?
soundcloud.com/turner-classic-movies/quickly-now-tcm-remembers-2015
what is name of this music, please?
Does anyone know which film the clip of Michel Serrault comes from?
La Cage Aux Folles (1978).
I noticed that Virginia Mayo wasn't on the list.
I believe Luciano Poverotti also died that year.
Carlo Ponti at .34 looks an awful lot like Sir Ralph Richardson
Where's Joe Barbera?
That isn't Carlo Ponti.
Richard Jeni 3:05.
That is not Carlo Ponti.
Im sorry but wtf Deborah Kerr in the middle of the pack? using a weird clip from not even one of her most famous movies? And then not also putting her and her husband back to back? She should have been next to last! if not last! Jane Wyman!? really? Her body of work is nothing compared to Kerr's
Couldn't agree more.
Not very touching
thanks! voxelraster, amazing song
