TCM Remembers 2021

#TCMRemembers the performers, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year. Their art will always serve as a beacon of joy for generations to come, with bright legacies that will never fade.
The song used is a cover of R.E.M.’s SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE by Reuben and the Dark & AG.

[@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.

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.

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.

The music video style short segments that TCM creates are great, but this one is perfection! The song "Shiny Happy People" by Reuben and The Dark is the perfect soundtrack to remember those that passed in 2021. Rest in peace to all.

Thanks for identifying it. I always wondered who did that great -- and, to me, preferred -- version of the song.

Those who are gone...will never be forgotten!

The tribute ended with Christopher Plummer. I read his memoir "In Spite Of' a few years ago, and it read like a cozy chat with an old friend---thoughtful, engaging, and quite perceptive of the acting profession and its realities and blessings.

Such a legacy from all of those we loved and will always love.

[@jamesgarner8262]

May they all rest 🙏 in peace in Paradise Heaven. Thanks for the greatest memories that you put on small and big screen! Thank you.

I never used to watch things like this at the end of a year. It always struck me as a little macabre perhaps. But, this is so well done! Beautiful, really. Now, I find myself watching TCM Remembers from past years and they are all so lovely. The editing, the music, all of it. They're all such touching tributes. And I like that the people featured aren't just the well known actors that everyone can name. These feature character actors, directors, editors, composers, producers, cinematographers, stunt people, costume designers. All the unsung heroes of any productions. Thank you, TCM.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Yes. Nothing macabre at all. The clips show them being so human and real.

[@homelesshannah50]

I just watched Batteries Not Included the other day and Elizabeth is gone too, so weird to see that clip with Margot Kidder, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve cause all 3 are gone wow :' (

[@michaelmakes1225]

Hands down favorite here..Ned Beatty... What range!Clown,con man,everyman,charmer and devil....one of the great character actors of our time.

[@jenniferswenyargallagher3763]

Beautiful tribute. Ed Asner ,Gavin MacLeod, Cloris Leachman And Betty White now too. You all Will be so missed. The whole cast Of The Mary Tyler Moore Show is in heaven now. RIP

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

Yep all the leading players. But still alive is supporting player John Amos who mostly appeared in the first seasons.

[@ArtistYellow]

Turner Classic Movies always does a beautiful production of remembering.

[@chasreg7241]

If "TCM Remembers" doesn't break your heart then you never really had one.

[@hourglass7010]

R.I.P. Beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing your light with us. We'll meet you again beneath the veil. #2021

[@twistedanimator653]

Three of my favorite actors weren't mentioned.Johnny Crawford,Gavan O'herily,and William Lucking.TCM remembers,but maybe their memory is a bit foggy.Oh,and Jane Powell,that smile!My god,thatsmile!

[@wendyc6638]

Every time I see one of these, I cry. We lost so many talented people this past year and I was unaware of their passing until now. Seeing that Larry McMurtry, Marion Ramsey, Helen McCrory, Ed Asher, Jane Powell, Jacques D‘Amboise, Hal Holbrook, Cloris Leachman, Olympia Dukakis, and Stephen Sondheim all passed on is very sad. Their contributions to the Arts will never be forgotten.

[@JuneLynn]

As always an excellent tribute with fine music included by TCM....the editing job that goes into this is wonderful....I was very happy to see that Mike Nesmith was remembered here as well...thank you : )

[@drworm12345]

It makes me sad to see the actors that I have come to admire pass away.
