Turner Classic Movies Website

Anyone who knows me, knows of my passion for old Hollywood movies. The older the better, and silent films are great to watch. And they don't necessarily have to be classics. Needless to say, when today's website made its debut, it was a very good day at our house.

The site I am referring to is the Turner Classic Movies Website. It is the official site of this cable TV channel, and it a pure delight to visit. Here you can find out not only the schedule for the coming weeks, but also check out and see what is currently on. I don't mean just check the channel listing, but actually grabbing a live frame from the live broadcast. There are information on the TCM/Rhino Records classic movie soundtrack series, which features actual music from classic MGM films such as "Gone with the Wind", and "The Wizard of OZ". But to me, the highlight of the site is the extensive list of links for not only movie sites, but also for television, sites around Atlanta, as well as an interesting collection of miscellaneous sites. I have never seen a collection of cinematic links anywhere else on the net.

So if your cable company carries TCM, then check this page out to complement your viewing of it. If you don't have access to this channel, check out this site, and then start bugging your viewing host to carry it. It will be worth the challenge.

    You guys had a great idea with the all movie channel. Why do you want to screw it up with that scrunched down screen?
    I bought a big screen tv so I could get a bigger picture. With this so called wide screen I'm losing 25% of the picture at both the top and bottom of the screen!!!
    Please reconsider and drop the letterbox format.

    My family have enjoyed TCM on sky in the UK for two years but when we wanted to watch a movie tonight we were very disappointed to find that SKY are now charging for TCM movies. We are not going to be blackmailed into paying and extra £19 a month so it seems we are denied the pleasure of TCM for all time.

    Alice Mooney asked for an address to write to Betty Hutton. I am assured that Miss Hutton will receive letters at the following address:
    Miss Betty Hutton
    P.O. Box 3124
    Palm Springs
    CA92263
    I am sure that Miss Hutton will be pleased to know that she still has a vast army of fans and that we still love her dearly.

  12. Helen on June 28, 2005 11:43 PM


    I would like to ask Robert Osborne if he has ever heard of the movie "Speed Spook" which was made in the 1920's. A friend told me that it is a "classic" now and I found a write-up online. If there is a reel out there somewhere, I would love to see the movie. My father was in it, maybe as the trick rider in the driverless car, though he told me he rode motorcycles (Indians) in the movies he was in. Others were "Lillies of the Street" and "Over the Top"..all in the 20's. Thanks !!!!!

    Comcast is now charging $150. monthly for a family
    hosehold to
    receive TCM. Old disabled veterans can not afford
    that, so we have to kiss our most beloved channel,
    watched all day and night, goodby.
    PLEASE REQUEST MR. TURNER TO BUY COMCAST, AND MAKE
    HIS MOVIES FREE TO THE WORLD. That is the greatest
    gesture of humanitarianism in the world.
    Worthy of a Peace Prize for Mr. Turner.
    Movies belong to the world, esp. the people who
    pinched pennies, and supported the film industy since
    its inception.
    Comcast is an omnivorous, greedy taker.
    Mr. Turner is a giver.
    Thanks also to Mr. Osborne.
    Best wishes from

  16. Carlos S. Duncan on April 15, 2006 07:08 PM

    I have a question for Robert Osborne.It started about 15 years ago watching TCM movies.I watched a Black/White movie and I do not know the name.I have never seen it again on TCM. There was a lady with a husband and she had a daughter. The ex-con ex love came back and went to see her unwelcomedly. There was an accident by the ex con lover with the daughter.The husband took the daughter and left. The mom did jobs as a clown. Then finally was a clown at her daughters party. She moved in while the husband was away.At the end of the movie the father returned and found out. Please help what is the name of this movie? Is there a way to get a copy. My 15 year search continues. Thank You

  17. mike on May 2, 2006 10:13 PM

    I don,t think it,s a good ideal to be showing,The birth of a nation. the movie should be burned.p.s the young lady was wishing she had stayed with the other guy life was more exciting

  18. Jennifer Bach on May 5, 2006 10:28 AM


    I am looking for an old horror movie about a guy that was chained to a wheel on a train, and removes the wheel and jumps into a river, then chops his arm off to free himself. What is this movie? I don't remember the dark haired actors' name, but I have seen him in several movies.

    Thanks

  27. Nelda on October 19, 2006 11:11 PM

    Robert Osbourne and TCM- many thanks for continuing to restore old movies- they are my passion!!!! I wanted to make sure you both knew that you are very appreciated!

  28. Jerry Miller on October 24, 2006 12:10 AM

    I've seen one or two Judy Canova films on TCM and was delighted again. I miss the Hoosier Hotshots, but recently discovered the Kay Kyser films and will try to catch them again whenever they get shown.

  29. M Girardo on October 24, 2006 10:51 AM

    is there any chance the movie tripoli staring John Payne and Maureen Ohara will be on tmc or be placed on the open market for sale any time soon

  36. Frances Reyes on January 18, 2007 11:25 PM

    As of Dec. 21 Time Warner Cable changed the lineup. They replaced Turner Classic Movies with Golf. Despite my calls they didn't give a blank. The rep said it was Turner's decision to go Digital and we can pay more and get it. No way! Cable is too expensive as it is. Greed rears its ugly head! Pissed beyond belief!

  37. George May on January 28, 2007 03:48 PM

    It is Jan 28th 207 and not recieved my NOW PLAYING book yetfor Feb 2007--Hate to miss an issue as it is a great guide with lots of info and photos
    THANKS

  38. Mary Martin on May 17, 2007 06:19 PM

    How about showing the old movie " The Mating Of Millie"? This is such a fine movie. So many of your movies are shown over and over. How about a different one the whole family can watch. Thank You

  39. Janice Michaelson on May 22, 2007 07:34 AM

    I want to thank you TCM for the excellent film making lesson I derived from your wonderful and inpiring biography of John Ford written and directed by Peter Bogdonovich.

  40. Robert Bostic on June 23, 2007 03:12 PM

    I challenge you to find and show an old movie called "The Adventures Of Hajji Baba" a movie put out by Allied Artist/Walter Wanger in 1954. It stared John Derek as Hajji Baba and Elaine Stewart as the princess. Movie Theme song was sung by a well known male artist, Nat King Cole. I challenge you to find and play this very enjoyable adventure movie.

  41. Phil Giordano on July 27, 2007 11:36 AM

    I have a Godfather question that has plagued me for years and no one can seem to answer it. I was wondering if Bob Osborne can take a crack at it, unfortunately, I don't know his email or how to get in touch with him.
    I have asked many Godfather aficionados, I have written to authors and sent emails to movie "experts" but unfortunately no one can answer my question. (Including Leonard Maltin and the Bravo Channel)

    Here's the Scene: In Godfather: In the scene, just before Michael leaves to kill Sollozzo and police captain McCluskey, the family is in the Corelone home eating Chinese food and trying to determine where Michael will have this meeting.
    At this get together, there are 6 people in the room: Michael, Sonny, Tom, Clemenza, Tessio and a sixth unidentified person wearing a brown suit. This mystery man has only 7seconds of "on-air" time and is the only person that does not have any dialogue in the scene.

    QUESTION: Who is he?
    Remember only the top "family" members are there (or would be there) as they are discussing a major "hit" and killing a police captain. This "hit" involves a Corelone family member so only the main insiders would be present. Even Freddo (a Corelone) is not there. So you have the 3 brothers, the 2 Capos and 1 mystery person. Who is he and why would anyone outside of this elite group be there?

    Some have guessed that perhaps he is Michael's driver or Rocco, or another of Clemenza's men but that doesn't make sense. Why would anyone except the very top "family" members be present at this family get together and be present at such a meeting that really is Michael's baptism into the family business? Remember Vito's response when Tom wants to give his new son-in-law an important position in the "family". Anyone outside of a select group would an outsider and they would not trust anyone into their inner circle. Obviously it must to be an important character.

    Can you please find out who this mystery person is? Who is this character? (he is no where else in the movie, not even at the wedding) and who is the actor that played his part? -OR- was this an editor's mistake?

    This is a great question if you can answer it.
    Thank you,
    Phil Giordano

  42. Joyce Hockeborne on November 4, 2007 04:48 PM

    Thank you for showing Edward Small's 1951 film "Valentino", staring Anthony Dexter on October 9th, 2007. Please bring us more of Anthony Dexter's films.

  43. Firina on November 18, 2007 07:30 PM

    Could you please tell me how to get a subscription to the TCM magazine? (preferably without needing a credit card) It's my dad's birthday soon and he wants that...
    Also.. it's not a rip off, right? Cause it seems like there are a few people who posted that they didn't actually get their magazines.

  44. Pat Berger on February 28, 2008 07:30 PM

    Why are the movies listed as closed-captioned are sometimes not close-captioned? As I have serious hearing loss, this is very disappointing.

  45. carol on November 22, 2008 07:04 PM
