TCM Remembers 2011

[incrediblehulkmovies]

Every actor will get their chance on this. Someday my name will be on this.

[ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

1:07- Geez, William Campbell was so handsome. RIP Bill.

[samdiego]

Goose bumps when Peter Falk says "as you wish"

[tropicanahana]

I still get so choked up every time I hear/see this. I would have hoped to become stronger by now so I can listen to it without crying.

[volleyballluver1995]

i was like i know they didnt 4get about elizabeth taylor then i was oooo... so sad they hav the best tribute :)

[myrnaloysboy]

The last ever adult Silent Screen Actresses are in this tribute - so very sad. RIP Barbara Kent and Miriam Seegar

[BlueRetinaBoy]

bad song to listen to on a sad day.

(AWESOME song and TCM vid)

[CACygan27]

So who else went out and bought this song after they saw this??

[homelesshannah50]

damn Charly/Uncle Ben is gone?!! death sucks major balls!

[searchanddiscover]

recognized way too many faces : (

[Tanksleyd]

2003, Ya'know "TCM Remembers 2003" is pretty good too.

[abcbatman1966]

No listing for David Hess (orig Last House on the Left)....who else did they miss?

[ashcarl116]

@abcbatman1966 also football player and 80s B-film actor Bubba Smith, I can't believe they missed him! over the years they included ones like Corey Haim and Brad Renfro, why not him? he was in the emmys montage.

[abcbatman1966]

No

[TheDystopiaInside]

I don't have cable anymore, this is one of the few things I feel like I've missed out on lately...thanks for posting it.

[tommieparch]

This song & montage to the dearly departed reminds me of the Billie Holiday song Gloomy Sunday!!

[lcorrene]

is the sheet music available for this lovely song

[loveajc]

I cried so hard when they showed Peter Falk

[angelotus17]

Michael Gough............ ALFRED, I LOVE U!

[Puffybelle]

thanks



[Thefilmguy100]

Nice fakeout...I almost thought they'd forgotten Liz Taylor. Well done TCM!

[MTPippin]

@Thefilmguy100 It worked on me... had to delete my comment. lol

[omsriramsriram]

WHAT a hauntingly beautiful song this is - it took me three weeks to find the name - listened to it every day!

[SaWzXo]

R.I.P legends,

You will be always remembered.

[Puffybelle]

@cupcake7015 who is it by?

[omsriramsriram]

@Puffybelle "OK Sweetheart" - or so it says above

[Puffybelle]

What is the name of this song? Please, I'm desperate!

[Sparkles382]

@Puffybelle Yeah i need to know that song to!!

[Sparkles382]

@Sparkles382 It'sbefore you go

[cupcake7015]

@Puffybelle its before you go

[stacia99]

@Puffybelle The song is "Before You Go" by OK Sweetheart.

[billoakesattablthree]

@Puffybelle lol - when I first heard this song on tcm I had the same reaction i.e. "desperate " to find this song - it is mesermizing - when I'm watching tcm and this song is played I go into a hypnotic state

[marqlove]

I caught this on TCM for the first time this morning, and IMMEDIATELY had to find it! I mainly listen to Metal or Classical music (though I detest both of those terms), but I love old movies as well. This song is amazing! I have to agree with chadvonswan: the song coupled with the images is incredibly moving.

[amberfinest]

@Gregrg7 well for that reason i guess

[chadvonswan]

TCM deserves an Oscar for such a beautiful tribute. The song is haunting and together with the images of the stars makes me cry. Well done TCM!

[Button1964]

Loved Cliff Robertson I Charlie! RIP

[Button1964]

I did not know M. Sarrazin passed..loved him..may they all RIP

[aprilwearsgucci]

Beautifully done TCM. I thought for a second that you guys forgot Elizabeth Taylor. How could anyone forget Elizabeth Taylor.

[Liebling05]

Such a great tribute. Save the best for last, naturally. R.I.P. Liz and everyone else too. A little late to note, though, Perdro Armendáriz, Jr. Has just passed on and should have gotten mention too, IMO.

[twinklegleam]

Elizabeth Taylor :(((( 

[Rackou87]

Seeing this just breaks my heart... especially when they get to Edward Hardwicke. Dear god, it's like they chose the one clip that was guaranteed to tear my soul into little pieces... Kenneth Mars, Elisabeth Taylor, John Neville, Peter Falk, Edward Hardwicke... all of you, you will all be missed greatly.

[70SixtyTen]

Good song, and the video is so sad, especially how they show Elizabeth Taylor walking out into a storm at the end. I haven't heard of or seen many of the actors in the tribute, but it still a great and very moving tribute.

[sonofderno]

Every year TCM does a masterful job of its in memoriam tribute but this year's is by far the best. The dissolve of James Arness and Peter Falk's vocal interjection struck a chord in me.

[kasiiiable]

what about Tony Curtis?

[smichelle65]

@kasiiiable He died in September of 2010; he's in last year's montage.

[1xelmox1]

I'm 13 Honestly I Love Video Like This, Coming From Tcm, And I Have Realised I Always Wanted To Be Born In Any Generation Between 1910-1960.

[kendorsLife]

its really sad when we lose so many talented people that is can fill up a almost 5 minute long song...

Peter Falk, Liz Taylor, you will be missed.

[ashcarl116]

well, I'm glad they DIDN'T show Michael Gough was alfred (in 1989-97 batman series).

"why" you ask, because he was well known in the British cinema decades before that. but had many smaller parts elsewhere (including "women in love" "boys from brazil" and "out of africa").

[Banananut72]

I think we need to thank Mr. John Scott McGee for this masterpiece....

[bigeyecutie]

The movies today are nice, but I always wonder - Where did the classic magic go? The actors & actresses where so good back then. *sigh*

Well made tribute ;)

[craigmarshallsmith1]

I was (almost) a film major at UCLA - so most of these names

are familiar. TCM does a great job with this tribute every year;

and once again selected the perfect song. I hope this opens

doors for OK Sweetheart. Beautifully edited, TCM. Thanks for

the memory.

[ashcarl116]

uhh...where's Bubba Smith? he did a number of 80s B-movies. By comparasion Yvette Vickers was a B-film actress. Bubba was in the Emmys montage.

[Tim1965]

D'oh! The YouTube version cuts off the final four seconds of this memorial. :(

[stacia99]

@Tim1965 You're right. There might be a technical issue, as the file I uploaded was complete when I tested it last week. I'll check into it tonight.

[dinomp999]

Started to tear up when I saw James Arness. Couldn't help it. Rest In Peace. They're all in Heaven now. Playing cards with James Byron Dean and MLK, JFK, and "THE DUKE".

[90es]

beautiful complilation. gj tcm!

[geekvintage]

Jane Russell ♥

[ammabamma]

Ah, my heart! TCM does it again with another wonderful and respectful montage (Care to take notes, Academy?). Personally, I think this one and 2008's tie for "most impactful" w/ regards to music and transitions--I keep tearing up. ;_; RIP to the deceased, and to the living: try to appreciate all of life (and keep watching classic movies). <3

[cbalducc]

While it's sad that these people are gone, at least most of them lived to advanced ages, including two who lived past 100, according to Wikipedia. God bless and Merry Christmas!

[bettyfriendly]

been seeing this on TCM all month. LOVE LOVE LOVE the song. so haunting and beautiful. brilliant choice.

[geekvintage]

Heaven got even more heavenly this year.

[mackb909]

Haunting.

[samdiego]

This just breaks your heart doesn't it? Especially when it gets to Peter Falk. Does anyone know the name of this song?

[nathendricks]

What is the film at 3:13?

[ksol1460tv]

@nathendricks Cliff Robertson did a lot of very early television work including "playhouse" type dramas, what we would call "made for TV movies" today, and I wonder if it's one of those. I think the film right before it is him in "Days of Wine & Roses".

[sonofderno]

@nathendricks I'm not sure but this could be from the Brian DePalma movie Obsession starring Cliff Robertson and Genevieve Bujold

[french619]

2011 is not over... >:->

[AnaisAndAbsinthe]

…and Oscar-winning Costume Designer, Theadora Van Runkle. :-(

But what a beautiful tribute piece.

These make me cry - without fail - every year…..

[Carolyn39574]

@AnaisAndAbsinthe don't feel alone, makes me cry too.



[Carolyn39574]

@AnaisAndAbsinthe don't fell alone, it always make me cry too.

[amberfinest]

@Gregrg7 are you serious?

[Gregrg7]

@amberfinest Sure why not? OK yes, yes yes Ryabn Dunn was a shit actor and I think even he would have agreed with it, but the Jackass films DID make tons of money...and many people enjoyed them.

[nicogalli5]

Absolutely beautiful.

[Gregrg7]

What, no Ryan Dunn??

[tifo316]

@Gregrg7 Are you serious?

[pethomas]

As others have mentioned, TCM does such a memorable job of assembling these tributes. They let the camera linger just long enough before moving on to the next subject and they do an amazing job of shooting and editing the transitions between sections, not to mention choosing clips which work with the music beautifully and with each other. Bravo, TCM - and thank you.

[144wychwood]

Every year, I watch TCM Remembers and am shocked to find out there are celebs who died that I did not know had died during the past year. Sadly, the passing of these celebs are often overshadowed by stories of no talents reality TV stars, Paris Hilton's and Kim Kardashian's of the world.

[Rodney92]

Beautiful done, TCM.

[dougiehere]

this is so very well done every year thanks TCM

[emerybayblues]

I can always rely on TCM doing the best remberance... it inspires to look up actors/actresses that I have never heard of. Sadly the Oscars will never learn & use this....they might have to get rid a couple of jokes for the host or drop a dance number.

[Jesseontheweb]

Trelane!

[fratguy76]

:( Harry Morgan's dead? just last week, my younger brother was watching a rerun of MASH and Harry Morgan came on the screen and i remember saying "it's hard to believe Harry Morgan's still around"...i mean, he was on the show during the last few seasons and into the 1980's and he did look like he was 80 years old even back then...R.I.P.

[fratguy76]

@fratguy76 wow...he did die last week...give or take a few days...

[fratguy76]

TCM always shows the greatest respect for movies and actors...even more when it comes to their yearly "Remembers" segments...it's just a shame that it seems every year the list of performers and directors gets longer and longer...

[mybutterpecanbutt]

I may not have known the names, but I knew many of the faces. I didn't know David Nelson died earlier this year. I agree with everyone. TCM's rememberance is far superior to the Academy Awards (and all other award shows if you ask me). They don't look down on someone because they weren't well known or known for movies. I do believe that was the Academy's reasoning for not including Farrah.

[KatieKanton]

Really, REALLY well done.



[MsKamillebidan]

So in love with TCM. they remind me (everyday) why we're here. or why we're all still way, way over there

[Soulthinker2007]

TCM and SAG brings the best of tributes. It is sad the Academy had not learned it yet.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

If I was drunk right now I'd be in tears. Don't ask.

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

Thumbs up if you saw this thinking they forgot to add Elizabeth Taylor at the end. Also, the people behind the Academy Awards need to hire the people behind TCM Remembers to do the memoriam because the Oscars omits actors like Farrah Fawcett, Corey Haim and Brad Renfro.

[pinto57mn]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx  You hit the nail on the head! Wasn't this a beautiful tribute.

[oohyllab]

Another very awesome job by TCM! Stylish, melancholy mood music, overall class.

[silentmoviequeen]

Barbara Kent who appears here was the last living great silent actress. A beautiful video, may they all rest in peace.

[MrCombat1965]

@silentmoviequeen I didn't know she died, an end of an era.

[XXXTheRappaXXX]

TCM must be biased against stars of B-movies. They left out Dolores Fuller this year and Ann Savage in 2008.

[GAndreiev]

@XXXTheRappaXXX Tura Satana, Yvette Vickers, Norma Eberhardt to name a few. I absolutely love how TCM places them in the breathe as the Hollywood A-Listers. Beautiful!

[AnthonyJK1982]

What a great tribute.

[JojoBond93]

They remembered Lena Nyman! I was in shock when I heard she had died :(

[ksol1460tv]

@JojoBond93 I didn't even know Lena had died until I saw this on TV.

[pankargo]

nice video,but they should have included andy whitfield,bubba smith,annette charles and elisabeth sladen.they also died in 2011.

[ksol1460tv]

@pankargo At least once, they placed an actor who died very late in the year, in the -following- year's tribute. That was Eartha Kitt.

[finaljourneys]

Thanks for putting this up so quickly.

[jerseygirl741]

As others have said, TCM always has the best yearly tributes that the Academy could learn from...I know many of my movies, but I had to look up some of the actors who are paid tribute to here.

[oohyllab]

@jerseygirl741

yeah me too!

[MissMom4evr]

So many icons have departed this year. It's nice to see TCM remembers them all so well and the clips and music go together so nicely every time.

[FlaxenHairedBeauty]

Beautiful!

[4262009AP]

Another fitting rememberance done by TCM to honor those of the film industry who passed this year. If only they could show this at the Oscars each year then nobody would be forgotten.

[catsaidfiddleyefee]

so many... sad to see, but thank you.

[parisianpierrot]

Every time I watch one of these videos, I just think 'who next year?'. So many greats this year, as there seem to be every year. Surely we can't afford to lose any more!

[smichelle65]

Beautiful tribute as always from TCM; nice little "gotcha!" at 4:38, though!

[Filmwolf1]

Beautiful and quite touching.

[mykittypurrs58]

TCM always puts together a nice tribute. The song is pretty and so appropriate.

[lmoiselle]

The song is called "Before You Go" by OK Sweetheart, unless I'm mistaken. They have a youtube video as well

[stacia99]

@lmoiselle Thank you! I have corrected it.
