I've been introduced to many classics with this channel. Could be the best channel on cable besides maybe HBO.

until Foxtel dropped it on 13 December totally pissing me off The last film I watched was the original Oceans 11 (1960). We had the Asian Pacific version so the programming is different to the American one.....but I still loved it and watched alot of films that are not available on dvd/blu ray in Australia eg. some films of Jean Harlow. Foxtel says that Fox Classics will take up where TCM left off....but I doubt it because they don't screen classic films 24/7.

TCM is the place to go to when you wanna see the classic Black & White flicks...It's the only Network that plays the Classic Jesus Movies for X-Mas...

i mentioned it over in the 'rate the last movie...' thread, but i'll throw it up here since it seems more relevant to the topic at hand...

turner classic movies recently partnered with the criterion collection to form filmstruck.com. it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy tcm.

i don't have cable televison, so i'm happy to have signed up for $99/year to have streaming access to hundreds of movies that i would otherwise have to wait for from the library (if they happen to stock them) or spend the time trying to find quality bootlegs of.

Never saw Citizen Kane til then. now it's my favorite film,.

Alla Hitchcock's classics.

I saw the ad for that on TCM. I'm finally getting into the 21st century with my TV set-up this week (seriously - my current TV dates from 1998) - and am going to check out Filmstruck.

My biggest issue with cutting the cable cord and going to all streaming has been how to get TCM. (You need a cable subscription to use the TCM app - and you can't stream from that to your TV.) But if I have Filmstruck, I won't need it.

I saw the Ben Hur remake on PPV..It was very rushed..They cut corners to make the story move faster. Morgan Freeman was good in the supporting role but he did not help carry the flick to the finish line. Definitely not a memorable leading cast.....The flick lasted for 2hrs, the original version is 3hrs/30min....I'm watching the original again...

This is a great video tribute that makes me ashamed I don't watch as many films as I could.

I LOOOVE TCM. It's how I discovered and fell in love with so many films from different eras. I like when they do theme days, like a whole day of Lauren Bacall films, or marathon of campy 60's sci-fi

Maybe TCM is a little different in the UK. Just put it on and 'The Fugitive' from '93 is on. Doesn't seem that old to me. How time flies.

I want to do the free trial of filmstruck, but they won't be available on Roku or PS4 until 2017. bleh I refuse to watch movies on my laptop.

i love classic movies but have consolidated my viewing to amazon prime. for movies that aren't already included in prime, one can usually rent movies on other channels for a small fee.
