TCM Classic Film Festival 2020
Whoa. This will be so cool. I can’t wait. It’s still a bummer that it was canceled though. Once again. My best wishes to everyone who was going. Maybe I’ll see you all there someday too. I’m really looking forward to it. I can’t wait. Everybody enjoy this year’s Special Home Edition. I will too.

I was so happy to find out that I can watch the past TCM Classic Film Festivals. I had surgery on my left shoulder on 3/6/20 and I am in a sling until 4/29/20. I can not drive with the sling on. I am home bound, so I can watch much more TCM films now. I have my Masters Degree in Acting and Directing from CSU Fullerton. I see so many films that were based on plays that I acted in or directed. I saw many of the classic films when I was younger in L. A, on the TV that I see on TCM now. I am so glad that I can see these classic films again. Once again, thanks for letting all our TCM fans to stay happy to see the past TCM Classic Film Festivals in this time of a great challenge in our country.
Thank you

Thank you sooooo much! I was
Thank you sooooo much! I was so excited to go to the 2020 Festival, but this will certainly take some of the sting out of our disappointment!
Thanks TCM!
Having the Festival shown on TCM is worth the extra fee Comcast is charging us for the channel. I attended the film festival in 2014 and I never had so much fun! Thanks again!
Outstanding Programming Decision!
just want to say THANK YOU TCM for producing the "At Home" TCM CFF. I had planned on attending this year (my first TCMCFF) and was terribly disappointed when I heard it was being cancelled. But thanks to the fine people at TCM, you are bringing the festival to us. Thanks again for this labor of love for.
Thank You!
It is a brilliant idea to do an "At Home" version of the TCM festival. TCM has been a welcome respite from the stress and uncertainty of COVID-19. This will be a great entertainment option for all movie lovers. I attended the festival for the first time in 2019. My husband and I had a blast! Thanks for all you do, TCM.
Louise Rainer
Unforgettable in the Great Ziegfeld, I am looking forward to the replay of her interview at age 100.

Thank You TCM! I was scheduled to attend the festival for the first time this year. The understandable cancellation was disappointing, but the virtual festival this weekend was fantastic. Thank you for easing my heartache. See you next year!
