This coming week, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will celebrate its 15th anniversary. Back in 1994, to commemorate 100 years of film, Ted Turner launched the entertainment network to provide classic movie fans with films that are “uncut and commercial-free...the way movies were meant to be seen.” Now, 15 years later, TCM is a film buff’s haven, preserving many of the greatest classic films for new generations and offering more than 150,000 titles and a variety of programs, like “Private Screenings” and “Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence.”
As part of the anniversary celebration, TCM selected 15 of its biggest fans and everyday viewers to serve as guest programmers who will appear on-air (starting Monday, April 13) to present their favorite classic films alongside long-time host and film historian, Robert Osborne.
You can check out the line-up of fans’ favorite films along with an excellent site dedicated to the 15th Anniversary festivities, including a timeline of the network’s milestones, tons of great videos, and various fun facts: http://www.tcm.com/2009/15thAnniversary/index.jsp.
