TCM Remembers 2021

[@outinsider]

Every year, TCM says goodbye to those we lost, and tears appear in my eyes after the first viewing. It is phenomenal what the people at Turner Classic Movies are able to capture in under five minutes for the multitude of loss we who have appreciated the art of film feel each year. I feel I say this every year, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in their Oscar In Memoriam part of programming should take their cues from TCM.

[@joeypieper6384]

Especially after this year's p**s poor excuse of a Memorial

[@louvalentino2262]

I totally agree with outinsider. TCM hits it right every year in less than 5 minutes while the Motion Picture Academy should be ashamed of themselves for leaving so many deserving names out of their In Memoriams simply because "they didn;t have enough time". Congratulations to you TCM. This was wonderful!

[@outinsider]

@@joeypieper6384 Yes. Even if Chadwick Boseman lost to Sir Anthony Hopkins, why they couldn't go from memoriam into a segment on his brief but impactful life is really just bad on the Academy's part. Not to mention, make his loss hurt more.

[@8ofwands300]

I totally agree. Beautiful tribute. 😟😟😔😔

[@chasebakerofthe209]

I concur. This year's Oscars' "In Memoriam" was too shoddy for me to remember all the names of the people who died before the ceremony took place.

[@michaelrivera9291]

A redux of REM's song "Shiny Happy People" as we watch those who have passed in 2021. Hal Holbrook's line "...when you forgive...you love... and when you love, God's light will shine on you." That line sure got to me. TCM did a wonderful job.

What really tears at my heart is when the deceased actor/actress is waving goodbye. Movie stars often take us away from the periodic sadness in our lives and deserve these tributes. RIP ALL.

[@DanielOrme]

These are always so magically beautiful, with perfect moments caught: Belmondo rubbing his lips at 3:00, Clarence Williams III giving that patented Look at 2:02, Cloris Leachman in The Last Picture Show at 4:18. The one that got me most was Dean Stockwell, boy and man, at 2:49. 😢

[@hollyshippy7417]

Thank you TCM. This five-minute tribute takes our breath away with the images of so many talents now gone, but whose work lives on. There has never been an Oscar "In Memoriam" that captures the numbers and varieties of talent, both in front of and behind the camera, that "TCM Remembers" does exquisitely, impeccably and with such heartfelt respect. It is not just the loss that we feel, but the appreciation that wells up for the immense amount of talent that we witness and enjoy every time the lights fade, the images flicker -- and we are captivated once more.

[@52lvlv]

As always, TCM does this better than anyone. On a day-to-day basis, as we lose our legends, and once a year as we see here. We need this, and we need TCM to continue to keep our shared cultural history alive.

[@rangerfanboy1710]

I didn't expect them to use clips from Up for Ed Asher, but that was a great quote they used for him. Guess it's poetic justice that they honor Christopher Plummer with his best known role in the Sound of Music

What fascinates me when TCM shows these clips is not just the famous actors that we see, But actors that you might not think of .I was gratified to see Gunnel Lindblom in the opening sequence .I always remember her as the mute woman in the Seventh Seal who only had one line that she spoke at the very end:" it is over". Another was the aborigine who was the star of Walkabout which has become a cult movie. He starred with Jenny Agutter in that movie made in 1970.
