TCM Remembers 2024 | TCM

[@bkomp]

TCM should handle the In Memoriam part of the Oscars.

[@thomasbelisle6093]

The problem with the Oscars, they are only given limited time to show the memorial.

[@bkomp]

@ 4 minutes for the Oscars, 5 minutes for TCM. It’s become more about the musical performance at the Academy Awards and less about honoring the folks we lost…just my opinion. I agree, it’s not much time devoted to the subject.

[@thomasbelisle6093]

@@bkomp Yes, I know. It's a shame the Oscars don't do a better job in their memorial.

[@The_Ferbguy]

It's worse when in the past, they just showed the names at the beginning of the memoriam and then the song officially began.

[@Former_Pastor]

I never watch the Oscars anyway. THE BEST tributes are always TCM 🌟💫

Nobody does this thing like TCM.

So Very True

It's gotten worse since 2020!

[@Xane_Dragon]

​@@mattcampbell7669 Well it won't get any better. There's a whole crop of actors in their 90s still living

[@kindspirit7]

Yes you are so right! Probably 100 living at 85 to over 100! With ten days left makes you wonder who is next!

[@ZJ-ne9kn]

Me too

[@Transterra55]

Beautifully done… So long Bob Newhart- you were a part of my life for over 50 years… RIP.

[@cyrilmauras4247]

Bob Newhart did many great sitcoms as a star but only won an Emmy for his character "Professor Proton" on The Big Bang Theory.

[@chris1pugsley]

I liked Bob Newhart he was a sensational actor. Also, I enjoyed watching The Bob Newhart show, Newhart and Bob.

[@MattLeger]

I am so glad TCM puts these up on KZbin so those of us who no longer have access to the channel can see it. Comcast/Xfinity moved it to a more expensive service tier a few years ago and we haven't seen any of its programming since except when traveling (some hotels will offer it). Some of these people I hadn't even realized had died, like Cindy Morgan, Martin Mull and Morgan Spurlock. Thanks to all the folks at the channel for putting these videos together every year and doing them so well.

[@LaManteca76]

I didn't realize Maggie Smith had passed away!

[@williamashton9235]

​With me, it was Jon Landau, who not only produced "Titanic," but managed Bruce Springsteen, and was an excellent rock critic in his younger days.

[@killerfrank8974]

Yeah, I hear you there. I don't have cable, it doesn't pay me to have. I'm not home a lot and most of the channels I wouldn't watch anyway. However, TCM is the one exception I do miss about not having cable.

[@Peppers19781978]

​​@@williamashton9235That is not the same guy. The Jon Landau behind Springsteen is still alive. He was born in 1947. The guy who died was born in 1960 and a collaborator with James Cameron on Titanic and the Avatar films.

[@aspasialogica8416]

Get rid of Comcast/Xfinity! There are so many better, less expensive, more reliable options.

[@terryhall6793]

Classy as always, TCM. And thanks for remembering "our" Mitzi Gaynor, one of the most talented entertainers to ever grace the silver screen...RIP.

[@cowboykelly6590]

Yes, IRREPLACEABLE . RIP Sweet Soul . Rest now... in GODS LOVING HANDS... SMILING. 🙏😌💝

[@millerforester6237]

I love Mitzi.

[@folioio]

These are always so moving -- I started to tear up at Teri Garr. She was so special.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

She was the best in Tootsie. Yeah, I just cry like a tick 🥀

[@markcornish2519]

When I saw Teri garr I chuckled, because of young Frankenstein!

[@waynej2608]

Same here.

[@williamashton9235]

They​ should have used a clip from "Young Frankenstein," as anyone under 50 may mostly know her from that and her many appearances with Letterman. As always, TCM's montage was great!

[@foxmulder529]

Thank you TCM for including people behind the scenes as well.

[@abbeymclane6985]

Thank you, Turner Classic Movies, for adding Tony Todd on the TCM Remembers 2024 list because, as a horror movie fan, he was a great Candyman when he died a month ago really hits hard

[@TheeKookyWildflower]

This is the part of the year where I mourn the talent gone and the quality that may not be matched. Also, thank you for adding Shannen Doherty!

[@shelbyjuice]

she looked so peaceful, I'm happy they gave her a nice send off after everything she had been though

[@terr777]

Thank you for including Joe Flaherty. It's been a rough year. Thankfully, all these folks will live on through their work.

[@waynej2608]

Oh man! I didn't even know about Joe Flaherty passing. He was so great on SCTV. That horror, chiller theater thing he used to do cracked me up. Made up like Dracula and the howling like the werewolf! 😅 A hugely talented fellow. R.I.P.

[@IgnatiusThorogood]

The tears didn't come until I saw Joe. As an SCTV fan, that hit me hard.

[@r.d.493]

I'm so grateful they included Tom Wilkinson who passed away in 2023, but it was after TCM completed its tribute that year. His performance in "In the Bedroom" never fails to move me and I was so happy to see him in subsequent films.

[@MrsRichardDalloway]

I admired him so much. Seeing him included hit me hard.

[@aspasialogica8416]

and his brilliant turn as Gerald in The Full Monty.

[@smichelle65]

He also deserved an Oscar for Michael Clayton, in my opinion. Great, underappreciated actor; I hope his reputation grows in the coming years.

[@millerforester6237]

Tom made a lot of really good stuff.

[@r.d.493]

@ When I found out that he was in the Exorcism of Emily Rose, I knew I had to see it.

[@eileenkr]

Lost it at Dame Maggie Smith. What a treasure she was, both as an actress and human. Some people seem immortal, she was one of them and is deeply missed. 💔 Beautiful video, thank you TCM!

[@duaneraymond4252]

TCM knows how to genuinely deliver a riveting, respectful memoriam that grabs your undivided, solemn attention and makes you cry by the inclusion of a moving song. Some really talented people work for TCM, hold onto them...

[@annihilist]

Dabney Coleman passing hit me pretty hard. Very much a fixture in my childhood with all the many movies he made in the '80s. So many other greats as well. They will be missed, but I'm so grateful they leave behind such wonderful legacies in film.

[@WAEVOICE]

WarGames ftw.

[@annihilist]

@@WAEVOICE Also 9 to 5, On Golden Pond, Modern Problems, Tootsie, Cloak & Dagger, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Man With One Red Shoe, Dragnet, and all his many other credits before, during, and after that time. Quite a CV.

[@Slashboss]

100%. One of the best naturally earned character actor runs in all of Hollywood, he took a dislikeable villain role in 9 to 5 and made the most of it, and ran to the finish line for an epic and badass career tbh. He and Brian Dennehy both earned their legend status, they weren't model like lookers but they were so dang good in everything they did back then, and were quality human beings too. Also special respect points for Dabney to help to talk Eric Braden into accepting the Victor Newman role on The Young and the Restless, helped make him the best character in all of soaps. Guy was a genius. Rest easy Dabney.

[@kevinferrara4519]

@@Slashboss He was like if your dad was on screen.

[@williamashton9235]

​Hope he makes the Emmy montage as well. I know Bob Newhart and Shannen Doherty will.

[@fm451]

Wonderful! TCM crushed it, as usual. A heartfelt thank you to the team that puts this loving goodbye together every year.

[@NoirFan84]

A lot of legends lost this year, but sadly that's the reality every year that we lose more of the icons we recognise from the classics we all know. Delon & Rowlands are two of my all-time favourites. Shannen Doherty was a particularly sad one this year as she was still too young.

[@Curlyhowardfan]

My grandpa passed away this year too. He was my best friend. I wish he could be part of this beautiful video. Keep on the great work, TCM.

[@SamanthaBaker8]

My dad did also 😢 Sorry for your loss

Others have said the same, but nobody does a memoriam like TCM. Such a loss of talent this year, just staggering!

[@MissBarker93]

TCM is the absolute best when it comes to paying tribute to those we've lost.

[@outinsider]

Every year, I am always grateful that TCM produces these gems of in memoriams. It's a feat unmatched, like the many legends we have lost this year. Their legends live on. Thank you TCM for keeping them alive even fresh from their deaths.

[@Cbcw76]

I just wish they'd wait until the new year to be sure to include all the December passings.

[@outinsider]

@@Cbcw76 I noticed that Glynis Johns was in last year's too because she was a December passing. Not a complaint, but I think they will edit appropriately.

[@Cbcw76]

@@outinsider My continuing argument is WHY BOTHER pretending Dec 1 is The End Of The Year?!! WHY BOTHER? I KNOW they build this all season long so they DO 'sit on' deaths for a whole 11 months. Why not 12?!! If they've release this, say, Jan 5 or 10, WHY NOT? Is there a belief that our memories are magically eraased for everyone? What is Dec 31's cut-off date - do we all turn into Cinderella Amnesiacs?

[@Indigo810]

Wonderful remembrance. Much better than the Oscars

[@Attmay]

The Oscars suck and this clip reminds me of some of their gravest misjudgments.

[@aspasialogica8416]

ALWAYS better than the Oscars.

[@PatLovesMovies]

I teared up when they showed Roger Corman's name. He helped so many directors and actors get their start in the film industry thanks to his films. He always found a way to get his movies made. A true testament to his character. Hollywood owes him an incredible debt.

[@williamashton9235]

The only thing wrong with Corman's tribute is that it should have been longer.

[@BeachsideHank]

One of Cormans stock actors was Jonathan Haze.

[@joeymartinez9854]

Jack Nicholson and dick miller were in some of his movies corman helped out Joe danta on his very first movie piranha which started dick miller and became a regular in danta's movies

I knew about Maggie Smith, but I did not know about Tom Wilkinson. I always enjoyed watching his performances in any movie he was in, and I never felt he got the credit he deserved. Two great performances from Maggie Smith are practically forgotten, and she was absolutely gorgeous in both roles, and they were both with Rod Taylor: The VIPs (1963) and Young Cassidy (1965).

It was gratifying to see Elizabeth MacRae included in the year end tribute. When she passed earlier this year, the news media printed her obituary as Gomer Pyle actress dies, although there was more to Elizabeth than Gomer Pyle. She started in the 1950s in shows like Maverick and appeared in several episodes of Gunsmoke that should've made her a regular. And she appeared in a few movies along the way, though none were what anyone could call an A-film. But, I like to think about what Henry Fonda said about his movies: they couldn't all be A-movies. For every good movie he made, he made ten films that he called bad. He could've mentored a lot of actors and actresses who wanted only to do A-movies. I always hoped I would get Elizabeth's autograph since I thought she was such a sweet person and good actress. I always thought she was born in the 40s, though she was actually born in 1936. She didn't really seem that old in the TV series she was in and as for her movies, she made an impression on some of the critics and those that she didn't make an impression on, their loss. And who cares about what they thought? When she passed, I said a prayer for her and shed a tear for a beautiful angel. And also for her fellow actors and actresses and behind the scene personnel who left the world this year. They will all be missed.
