We enjoyed the old musicals, Alfred Hitchcock, many Westerns, and so many more — oh yes — the good old Suspense. Then, it seemed to gradually change with more Silent and newer movies from late 60s through the 90s. I was thrilled when we discovered TCM several yrs.
My email has changed since then. For yrs. I ordered the Now Playing magazine as a Christmas stocking gift for my husband, but he said not to bother about 3 yrs.
TCM is now and ever will be, my favorite channel. Would like to see some early cowboy movies of former Navy fighter pilot Wayne Morris. I have enjoyed watching tcm for the past twenty years. My children and my grandchildren were by my side every holiday to watch the movies we love and have made our tradition.
I am sorry to say for the past two years this has changed. We can now watch our favorites only if we purchase them. With all the uncertainties in the world right now it was a small but important comfort to have our traditions watching our seasonal favorites. TCM has taken this from all of us. This will probably mean little to your corporation. It has made a sad difference in our lives. Miracle on 30th street- at thanksgiving. Just to name two.
So glad to find this forum tonight. I have been curious about what has been happening at TCM, in the last couple of years. I remember watching one movie after another, into the wee hours of the morning when TCM was in its prime. Movies that I often had watched with my parents, many years ago. Then to enjoy again now as an adult.
NOT anymore.? Most are just garbage, and repeats of garbage, week after week. Why they would go in this direction is a real mystery. If they want to pair it with their current movies, it should be called, Gutrot!! I am with you all. No good Halloween flicks unless it was 3 am and no Christmas movies except for the two repeated.
The only way to contact them is by snail mail. And I will be doing that. I waste my time bothering. New manager needs to lighten up or have a little fun. Something is very wrong here. You lost me, was my favorite chanel. Now not worth watching.
Osborne turning in his grave. The woman in the wine commercials is way too animated for me I turn as soon as this comes on it really turns me off. About the only reason I kept cable was TCM and sports. I can get sports and streaming movies online cheaper now than for channels I never watch. Thank Jennifer Dorian for that. Where is the old movies, Who ever is selecting these so call old movies need a new job.
I love Betty Davis Joan Crawford so on and so forth. My God, I enjoy a Tarzan or Andy Hardy movie once in a while, but back-to-back-to-back for hours on end while they show the entire series is torture!
How can any manager think this is appropriate?? I watch TCM to see the brilliant movie stars from days gone by and to hear a little interesting intro and exit info from a knowledgeable host.
What are you thinking,TCM??? He lived the life and knew so many stars personally. Her way of speaking and accent is truly annoying.. I have to mute her. This is clearly the devising of the snotty new execs who hate classics on a Classic Movie channel. Christmas where are the Christmas movies? When something is truly working why disturb it? Please is anyone listening? These are your viewers, the ones paying well , were paying the bills and your salaries.
Man or Woman up and get this thing fixed because despite what the boss thinks , the customer is always right. What happened, TCM? I Cannot stand Ben, and the two dittsy woman. The one with accent is like fingernails on a chalkboard. And the constant commercials for the wine club! And the back lot club. I have no desire to sit around with a bunch of leftist loons. I just want to watch good classic films, especially film noir. Some days, not at all. Plus, you repeat films all the time.
Stop doing that. I have a very serious complaint for TMC. Imagine him getting up in the middle of the night, turns on the TV, and what is he slapped in the face with?
Because your program director must be totally brain-dead, as well as perverted. Please clean up your act. Please, please, please Stop the theme nights!! I can understand silent films on Sunday nights for those who like them. I will watch another channel. Film noir on Saturday nights is okay if no more than 2 at a time. But, how about mixing it up on other nights. Why do we have to be bombarded by military films every Memorial day or Labor day?
Same with horror films now since its October? Maybe some dont like horror films or war movies or a certain star. We can change channels for one or two movies but why should we have to endur hours of the same genre. Please give us variety. Comcast cable has pulled TCM from there line up and offering it in a premium sports package because very few people watch TCM.
Not any more. So sad. It really is exactly like the downfall of AMC. Not that long ago, Saturday night was when Robert Osborne solo! Tcm messed up hiring Ben man. He waited long but I wish u could have replaced bobosborne with a man like him.
He wold have stopped tcm from putting on any commercials wine clubs making it like other stations people are getting roiled they pay to watch movies not any kind of commercials. I cried when the firm at tcm changed the format. I have to mute tcm when the commercials come on. I have watched tcm for over 20 years. And was happy to pay any price for tcm but now. That includes commercials. I am not stupid. Tcm needs money but there are other ways than commercials there are telethon.
And other ways of getting more money than what is going on now commercials. Are u going to let Ben m cut or change the films. As well I know these films if any change has been made to these films I will know i know more about movies than ms Malone will ever know in her life. Like I said I cried. The only good announcer u have is Eddie Mueller Paula mccreery. I am truly a fan of classic movies and prefer most of them to the lame movies that get made today.
However, aside from Eddie Muller, I find most of the other new hosts annoying, particularly as I get the feeling they know less about the films they are previewing than I do! Please leave our movies alone and stop preaching to us.

Hate silent movies now April 29, at am, Reply. It became very evident that something had changed with the programing on this channel Well I hope the Under 50 viewers find it great but that is never what the Classic Movie channel was all about.

Ann S. Simply put, fewer people are going to be exposed to her expertise. Film critic Kristen Lopez, whose work appears in Forbes, Remezcla and other publications, writes specifically about older films at her website Journeys in Classic Film. Longtime fans are always worried about things like, when are they going to start adding commercials?
Patricia Neal plays the radio producer who discovers this rakish con man, only to regret sending him down this path, and the fact that a woman is playing this role in feels surprising in all the right ways. Plus, any film with Walter Matthau grumbling his way through his lines is worth your time. That serendipity — of randomly catching a movie on TCM — now comes with an additional price tag. But there are other reasons.
One of the more consistent resources for classic film screenings locally is the Chicago Film Society , which has wonderfully eclectic taste and a real talent for unearthing obscurities. Dennis Scott will accompany the film on the Music Box organ. This version applies some critical updates to make sure all users have the best experience with the Watch TCM app. I watch TCM almost constantly and exclusively!!! I love the old movies, particularly the ones from the thirties, forties and fifties, many of which I am seeing for the first time!!
Absolutely wonderful!! I also enjoy the shorts, travel logs, even the occasional old commercials which are the ONLY commercials I'll watch. Really miss Robert Osborne but Ben Mankiewicz is getting better and better! Jury still out on Vasquez, but she is improving. We don't need it that frequently!! Sorry to see the monthly magazine go. Yes, the Golden Age will not be found again at least until God does housecleaning again.
For we who are disabled and have little opportunity for outside activities, thank you for bringing it back to us so that television is not solely a vehicle for trash and misinformation!!! This is the only channel I watch. It's like a history lesson with every movie. I don't even like current movies any longer, no morality, nothing about faith in them. In Many classics they were not ashamed to mention God, pray, love their country and be proud to live and die for our country.
So many wonderfully beautiful love stories respectfully done. And I can't forget the dramas and comedies. I watch
