'''Turner Classic Movies''' (April 14, 1994-present) is a [[LongRunner long-running]], commercial free cable-TV channel dedicated to airing classic movies, most of them from the Turner Entertainment and Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer, Creator/UnitedArtists, RKO, Creator/WarnerBros and [[Creator/TheCriterionCollection Janus]] film libraries. TCM daily airs many familiar classics (mostly released before 1980 and often pre-1970), along with tons of foreign films and obscure rarities that would otherwise never be able to see the light of day--including stuff that nobody would think about, like trailers and even two-reel live-action comedies. The network shows no outside commercials, although between (never ''during'') films they will show old trailers of films or short commercials for the network's merchandise.
The network won [[http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=59 a 2008 Peabody Award]] for their dedication to broadcasting and restoring classic and foreign films.
TCM is one of the last film networks that have knowledgeable on-air personalities introduce a film before its airing. Film historian Robert Osborne, who has been with the channel since its beginning, is the most famous of the two — he does introductions and outros for the films that air prime time every day (and a new one each time a film is shown, too, as TCM's prime time schedule often features a loose theme). Film critic Ben Mankiewicz is the other. He presents a handful of films that air during the daytime and on the weekends (although his aren't new for every episode).
Compare and contrast to {{Creator/AMC}}, which was once much like TCM before it experienced NetworkDecay, partially because TCM had gained the rights to so many of the classic movie catalogs, and partially as a way to appeal to more younger audiences through the use of more recent movies and original dramas like ''Series/MadMen''.
You can find its Web site [[http://www.tcm.com/ here.]] The official Website/YouTube channel can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/user/TurnerClassicMovies here.]]
----
!!! "Turner Classic Tropes":
* AudioDescription: Even when this feature for the visually impaired was at its lowest adoption rate in the mid-2000s, TCM has continued to be one of the largest advocates of this service, which helps to allow those who aren't able to see a film still enjoy it with narrated descriptions on much of TCM's library.
* BadExportForYou: There are channels that go by names such as TCM France, TCM UK, and TCM Asia, but their programming is not the same as the U.S. flagship. This is presumed to be a function of these channels' programmers not having the rights to certain titles enjoyed by U.S. TCM programmers.
* GuestHost: In 2011 Robert Osborne took a five-month sabbatical following a surgical operation, leading TCM to employ a number of guest hosts in his absence.
** ''The Essentials'', a weekly presentation of a selected film which airs Saturday evenings, has featured a celebrity guest host (or co-host with Osborne) since it debuted in 2001. Hosts have included Rob Reiner, Peter Bogdanovich, Sydney Pollack, Molly Haskell, Carrie Fisher, RoseMcGowan, Alec Baldwin, and (as of 2013) Creator/DrewBarrymore.
*** A variation that runs during the summer months is ''Essentials Jr.'', which shows films for kids and families. Hosts have included Creator/TomKenny, Creator/AbigailBreslin, Chris O'Donnell, JohnLithgow, and (as of 2013) Bill Hader.
** TCM also has an occasional "guest programmer" feature, in which a special guest (usually, though not always, a celebrity) chooses a lineup of films for a given night and pairs with Osborne to introduce them.
** In 2013 TCM introduced a new ''Friday Night Spotlight'' feature, with a guest host joining Osborne to present films based around a given subject or theme. Music/{{Cher}} was the first guest host for the program.
* InMemoriam: Since 1998, they've typically shown a "TCM Remembers" tribute to someone in the movie business who's recently died and dedicated a night of movies he/she were involved with. A montage of all those people who died the past year is also shown at the end of the year.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: When TCM screens a film not available on a legitimate DVD release, TCM subscribers record the film and...share the wealth...with people who don't have access to TCM.
* {{Letterbox}}: They sometimes show [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1-pP1-5K8 an educational short]] explaining to non-cinephiles how {{aspect ratio}}s work and why letterboxing is a good idea.

* MarathonRunning: They ''love'' this. Marathons of films by certain directors, from a specific time period or genre, exploring a particular theme, or starring a given actor (usually on his/her birthday) are particularly frequent, including an all-day Creator/AkiraKurosawa marathon on what would have been his 100th birthday in 2010.

** They also honored actress Vivien Leigh by playing a 24-hour marathon of her films on what would have been her 100th birthday (November 5, 2013).

The network won [[http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=59 a 2008 Peabody Award]] for their dedication to broadcasting and restoring classic and foreign films.
TCM is one of the last film networks that have knowledgeable on-air personalities introduce a film before its airing. Film historian Robert Osborne, who has been with the channel since its beginning, is the most famous of the two — he does introductions and outros for the films that air prime time every day (and a new one each time a film is shown, too, as TCM's prime time schedule often features a loose theme). Film critic Ben Mankiewicz is the other. He presents a handful of films that air during the daytime and on the weekends (although his aren't new for every episode).
Compare and contrast to {{Creator/AMC}}, which was once much like TCM before it experienced NetworkDecay, partially because TCM had gained the rights to so many of the classic movie catalogs, and partially as a way to appeal to more younger audiences through the use of more recent movies and original dramas like ''Series/MadMen''.

!!! "Turner Classic Tropes":
* AudioDescription: Even when this feature for the visually impaired was at its lowest adoption rate in the mid-2000s, TCM has continued to be one of the largest advocates of this service, which helps to allow those who aren't able to see a film still enjoy it with narrated descriptions on much of TCM's library.
* BadExportForYou: There are channels that go by names such as TCM France, TCM UK, and TCM Asia, but their programming is not the same as the U.S. flagship. This is presumed to be a function of these channels' programmers not having the rights to certain titles enjoyed by U.S. TCM programmers.
* GuestHost: In 2011 Robert Osborne took a five-month sabbatical following a surgical operation, leading TCM to employ a number of guest hosts in his absence.
** ''The Essentials'', a weekly presentation of a selected film which airs Saturday evenings, has featured a celebrity guest host (or co-host with Osborne) since it debuted in 2001. Hosts have included Rob Reiner, Peter Bogdanovich, Sydney Pollack, Molly Haskell, Carrie Fisher, RoseMcGowan, Alec Baldwin, and (as of 2013) Creator/DrewBarrymore.
*** A variation that runs during the summer months is ''Essentials Jr.'', which shows films for kids and families. Hosts have included Creator/TomKenny, Creator/AbigailBreslin, Chris O'Donnell, JohnLithgow, and (as of 2013) Bill Hader.
** TCM also has an occasional "guest programmer" feature, in which a special guest (usually, though not always, a celebrity) chooses a lineup of films for a given night and pairs with Osborne to introduce them.
** In 2013 TCM introduced a new ''Friday Night Spotlight'' feature, with a guest host joining Osborne to present films based around a given subject or theme. Music/{{Cher}} was the first guest host for the program.
* InMemoriam: Since 1998, they've typically shown a "TCM Remembers" tribute to someone in the movie business who's recently died and dedicated a night of movies he/she were involved with. A montage of all those people who died the past year is also shown at the end of the year.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: When TCM screens a film not available on a legitimate DVD release, TCM subscribers record the film and...share the wealth...with people who don't have access to TCM.
* {{Letterbox}}: They sometimes show [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1-pP1-5K8 an educational short]] explaining to non-cinephiles how {{aspect ratio}}s work and why letterboxing is a good idea.
** Also notably, they always run the films they air in their original aspect ratio, completely uncensored. This even occurs on the HD feed, whereas TBS and TNT will stretch out films across if they only have the pan and scan standard def version on their HD channels.
