April 2023 Schedule Posted, WB 100th Anniversary

[LawrenceA]

Rather than having a WB tribute, one idea for a month long tribute would be to look at last year's Sight and Sound poll winners. There are some movies TCM should show even if it would take a whole evening to show (Shoah, Satantango, West of the Tracks). There are movies that TCM hasn't shown for a long time (The Godfather, Mirror, Killer of Sheep, Ordet). There are recent movies which TCM might as well show now (Portait of a Lady on Fire, Moonlight, Parasite, Under the Skin, Zama). And there are other movies which I don't think TCM has ever shown (Mulholland Dr., The Gleaners and I, The Shining, La Maman et la Putain, Goodbye Dragon Inn, The Colour of Pomegranates, The Cloud-Capped Star, Love Streams, Magnolia, Melancholia, Army of Shadows, Distant Voices, Still Lives).

I think the average TCM viewer would detest the majority of those movies.

This WB tribute is a great marketing tool for the Warner Media company which owns Warner Bros, TCM and host of other businesses.

The WB 100th Anniversary is a big deal for Warner Media.

How MGM 100th Anniversary will be April 2024. But I'm having trouble finding out who owns the rights to MGM studio-era films. There has been so many merges, takeovers, and buyouts with the latest one by Amazon. If Warner Media doesn't have a stake in the game with MGM studio-era films that might impact any MGM tribute by TCM.

I don't think there's been any change in who owns the pre-1986 MGM catalog since Ted Turner purchased and sold MGM back in the mid 1980s, has there? I believe Amazon has the rights to MGM stuff after that, through Amazon MGM Holdings. Multiple sources confirm that WB Discovery is the holder of the studio-era MGM titles.

Well TCM is going to show The Colour of Pomegrantes in May regardless.

If the old forums were anything to go by the average TCM viewer detests everything that the channel shows.

Thanks for this info. Based on this TCM will likely have a 100-year anniversary tribute for MGM in the month of April 2024.

I hope so! At least you know it would be done better than anything Amazon could come up with.

Yes, WB holds all of the pre-May 1986 MGM titles, plus 1994's That's Entertainment III, so they will likely do a fine MGM tribute next year.

The only titles next year that I could see them asking for on loan from modern MGM (post May 1986) in order to show are Moonstruck, A Fish Called Wanda, A Dry White Season, Thelma and Louise, Six Degrees of Separation and maybe Overboard, Stanley and Iris, The Russia House, Of Mice and Men, and The man in the Moon.
