TCM Remembers 2022

[@Cadinho93]

Every year, TCM says goodbye to those we lost and tears appear in my eyes after the first viewing. It's 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.

[@jamesyoung6379]

I feel the same way, almost every actor, director I remember. Death seems so final.

[@jackf8417]

Don’t be surprised if an amended version shows up within the next 24 hours that adds Barbara Walters.

[@EverEssence4790]

Beautifully said ❤😊They do an amazing job!

[@karlkee]

Would it not be more respectful to remember the artists in chronological order of death rather than this misplaced order of importance?

[@mrsheatherteske]

They do the best one! Each year now I do a search for TCMs version. Always better. Classy and touching. Makes you want to cry

[@Rocks_Dad]

I owe my health to Ray Liotta. He did a stop smoking aid commercial and, since I admired the guy, I paid attention to it and later used it to quit smoking. It was the most positive change I've ever made in my life and I wouldn't have made it had he not promoted the product.

[@patricebest545]

Yul Brynner did same

[@Rocks_Dad]

@@patricebest545 I read about that after you mentioned it. He did a whole campaign with the cancer society after he knew he was dying. Smoking was a terrible thing, this vaping kids do now will proove to be harmful somehow and then we will have to deal with it all over again

[@alandenson6649]

Yeah an interesting counterpoint to that iconic shot outside the diner circa 1963 in "Goodfellas".

[@luxeternal1258]

That's a great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@barenjager66]

This is always a better version of remembrance than the popularity driven Oscars and Emmys do because they mention those who were just as important but not as well known. The song is a nice choice also.

[@jerryj5549]

I would disagree. The AMPAS only does members of the academy, but it does more of the behind the scenes people.

[@daddyo1952]

I like it because it shows the performers and brings back memories without all the woke crap.

[@jerryj5549]

@@daddyo1952 what does being “woke” have to with any awards show in memoriam presentation?

[@daddyo1952]

@@jerryj5549 what I mean is the TCM ones are great. Other ones have an agenda.

[@jasonkyleadams7577]

The Academy In Memoriam is terrible. Still a nice tribute, but the camera always has to cut back to the pop singer they choose to sign the tribute song. It should be about the talent that passed, not the currently living singer. TCM's efforts show more respect to those who we lost.

[@calmestcrusader1168]

This is such an important tribute that TCM has been doing. So many would pass without us knowing they were part of our lives and memories.

[@Sidewinder528]

That is so true. A lot of us Grew up watching these actors in our Favorite shows and Movies.

[@LindaJones-gq6bb]

Lost the last of golden Era of Hollywood. 😢😢😢😢

[@clydewalker3885]

Like in the past 😢

[@christopherparrisjr.3146]

I like these In Memoriams better than the ones on award shows. There’s dignity and no selective clapping for people.

[@greencello599]

When they did Ivan Reitman, the song was at "to the ghost of you" which is fitting with the scene from Ghostbusters. Larry Storch to my knowledge was the final big star from The Great Race to pass away. Now he has some fighting room. Angela Lansbury was a class all by herself.

[@OddOneOut665]

I love it when they do stuff like that. My favorite was the heavy bass riff that comes in when Angelo Badalamenti shows up. Perfect touch of subtlety and doesn't take away from the song neither. Whomever Edits these will win an Oscar one day...

[@wendyc6638]

I watch these videos with sadness and appreciation each year. We have lost a lot of people whose work was a part of our lives. Angela Lansbury’s passing was symbolic of the end of an era in Hollywood that I loved, musicals. Betty White didn’t get shown last year because she died New Years Eve. The memorial video done by TCM is probably done weeks in advance so those that unfortunately pass on the day the video airs don’t have time for pulling clips of their work, editing them and adding them to the video. It would be nice if there were another video released a few days later in the New Year, to honor those entertainers that pass on New Years Eve each year, to at least acknowledge their passings.

[@Gold04]

I imagine they probably could have if they wanted, they did it for Carrie Fisher back in 2016 when she passed on Dec 27th. But I suppose everyone was off for the holidays.

[@ksol1460tv]

Sabotage Film Group, who produce these lovely clipreels, are very concerned about having to leave out people who die after the early December release date. Several times, they have re-edited to include someone, or simply add them the next year. The producers jokingly (?) claim to pray for everyone else to "hang on through the holidays, please!" The 2016 Carrie Fisher incident was particularly upsetting because she (Dec. 27) and her mother Debbie Reynolds (Dec. 28) died a day apart, and Debbie's last words had been "I want to be with Carrie." They had previously slipped in a clip of Zsa Zsa Gabor (Dec. 18) and were able to add a clip of Carrie but apparently couldn't do any more last minute edits (perhaps not without cutting someone else out). For 2017 they used a home movie shot of Debbie with baby Carrie kissing and playing, showing they were together after all.

[@lemondropkid6175]

To be fair Betty White was a tv star.

[@lol365]

Thank you for remembering Angela Lansbury with such perfect clips. The thoughtfulness of TCM does not go unnoticed.

[@johnnyb4187]

Loved watching her movies where she was a villain, going against type.

[@izzyc127]

People may not believe me but Alfonso mejía is actually my great uncle and as I’m currently a college Freshman, I’m so glad that I discovered in 2022 that I’m related to him which is how I got my passion for the performing arts. As someone who was a 2000’s kid, I also remember listening to the grease soundtrack on repeat and watching the movie on DVD and I have Olivia Newton John to thank for that even though I’m more of a Rizzo than Sandy. I also have Angela Lansbury to thank for igniting my love for musical theater because Beauty and the beast was one of my favorite movies growing up next to Flashdance and fame with Irene Cara.

[@lisatoronto7265]

If it's in the blood you have to live it, good luck and God Bless

[@sertorrhenclegane]

At the beginning of 2022, following the passing of Peter Bogdanovich and Sidney Potier, I said, "TCM has found their bookends this year." And, damn it, if they didn't prove me right. A fantastic tribute if I've ever seen.

[@guarddog2253]

TCM pays tribute to these people with such a classy presentation. I'm glad they don't leave out European and Japanese films too.

[@TheAnastasiaLee]

These tributes make me sad. But also glad. These people came into the world and told a story. Now they’re onto the next world to tell another story.

[@aliceperry3448]

Thank you, TCM editors and researchers, for this beautiful tribute.

[@DiscoDoll79]

Thank you so much TCM for including the lovely Olivia Newton John in this tribute. She was much more than a singer...an actress, advocate for women's health, a kind human being. Thank goodness TCM acknowledged her talent as Sandy in "Grease".

[@duncanmccockiner5001]

[@YankeeCountess]

The DETAIL of the editing of TCM's memoriam compilations is truly breathtaking. When the song lyrics sing "...I'm haunted by the ghost of you...", they match the lyrics with Ivan Reitman, director of "Ghostbusters". Later, the lyrics: "...the night is full of terrors..." are matched with images of Hammer Horror icon Veronica Carlson, and the clip of David Warner from "The Omen". And my personal favorite, matching that bit of Angelo Badalamenti's famous "Twin Peaks" score with the song in the video. Honestly, these memoriam vids deserve an Editing Oscar of their own.

[@lysouth]

I just watched this on tv. I got chills and cried. This was so beautiful.

[@nunyabznz]

Very classy goodbye to some people that truly contributed to the betterment of many lives. Mine for one. Thank you.

[@barbrarevette9386]

No channel out there pays respect to actors/actresses like TCM ... This channel is a charm

[@Kendell062]

Does TCM include everyone? No, but they do this better than anyone.

[@ACD1994]

RIP to everyone that passed away in 2022. May your memory be a blessing.

[@bigsky1970]

Missing was Ted White, stuntman and actor who was best known for playing Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. He was also notable for having doubled for John Wayne, Fess Parker, Clark Gable, and Richard Boone. He passed away in October 2022.

[@brettbanta2100]

Hopefully he'll be included next year

[@pjwallace1006]

God Be Willing, TCM will remember Ted in 2023. Not to be insensitive-FAR from it!!!-but there are COUNTLESS parts of a whole in the film 🎞️ and entertainment industry, that I imagine it IS difficult to keep track of ALL involved. Many actors/actresses, and those “behind the camera 🎥” either disappear from the public eye or get overlooked, fading into obscurity. Nobody likes to be…forgotten, but sadly, sometimes, this just happens (even to those who’ve had such a large impact on film 🎞️ AND television 📺…☹️). Then again, there are those who CHOOSE to just…DELIBERATELY slip away or intentionally bow out and move on. Peace be with you, my friend, and to all who read this comment…😊.

[@jillv4006]

What a nice tribute. Many of these passed without any other recognition. I just wish it had been a little slower. And yeah, sad no mention of Sally Kellerman.

[@wal3hurst887]

Thank God I'm a speed reader !!

[@kingdomfreedom8323]

I wish the same, think it's to be completed with the song over, however wish they could stretch that out a bit longer. I'm not criticizing, I appreciate the tribute & I watch them all.. not just once, but occasionally watch them all again & it can't be easy, to put together. Dedication to film is why & I am very grateful, in most thankful TCM does this.

[@inertia2004]

Not just Sally Kellerman. I’m sure there are others and TCM has to be well aware since this video was originally released around 19 December. Since then there’s been at least two updates.

[@jahrfuhlnehm]

Missed Mike Hodges (British filmmaker who did the original Get Carter, Flash Gordon, Croupier) and Japanese director Yoshishige Yoshida (Eros+Massacre, Heroic Purgatory). But they fit in a lot more than the Oscar tributes, as much as I like those (the only thing that consistently remains something I watch from any of the Oscars) often do.

[@drayheath]

We lost so many, it is hard to imagine giving such a wonderful tribute. Just beautiful, thank you.

[@Rocks_Dad]

Thank you for sharing. I no longer have cable and never see TCM anymore but I remember these and they do a great job. We lost a lot of talented people in 2022. I miss TCM as they were about the only thing left on cable I enjoyed watching.

[@Lamb716]

I don’t have cable either and really miss TCM as well.😭

[@jeffjohnson4244]

You can find a boatload of movies from TCM on the HBO Max streaming service. I counted 22 films just in its French New Wave collection of French films from the 1950s and 1960s. There's many great Old Hollywood movies to view in the TCM section on HBO Max. I signed up for HBO Max last November when they had a Black Friday offering of $2.99 for the first two months and then $9.99 a month thereafter. Finding the time to watch all they have to show is the hard part.

Dame Angela Lansbury...and to all the rest too...

[@joelsmith6641]

It's sad that TCM, being a Warner company, didn't include Kevin Conroy who did the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman numerous animated films, especially since Warner owns DC Comics which is the home of Batman. Yeah, Kevin was mainly known for his TV career but he had done some films so he technically was film actor and some of those Batman animated films were shown on the big screen
