Every year, TCM says goodbye to those we lost and tears appear in my eyes after the first viewing. It's phenomenal what the people at Turner Classic Movies are able to capture in under five minutes for the multitude of loss we who have appreciated the art of film feel each year. I feel I say this every year, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in their Oscar In Memoriam part of programming should take their cues from TCM.

I owe my health to Ray Liotta. He did a stop smoking aid commercial and, since I admired the guy, I paid attention to it and later used it to quit smoking. It was the most positive change I've ever made in my life and I wouldn't have made it had he not promoted the product.

This is always a better version of remembrance than the popularity driven Oscars and Emmys do because they mention those who were just as important but not as well known. The song is a nice choice also.

This is such an important tribute that TCM has been doing. So many would pass without us knowing they were part of our lives and memories.

I like these In Memoriams better than the ones on award shows. There’s dignity and no selective clapping for people.

TCM pays tribute to these people with such a classy presentation. I'm glad they don't leave out European and Japanese films too.

When they did Ivan Reitman, the song was at "to the ghost of you" which is fitting with the scene from Ghostbusters. Larry Storch to my knowledge was the final big star from The Great Race to pass away. Now he has some fighting room. Angela Lansbury was a class all by herself.

[lol]

Thank you for remembering Angela Lansbury with such perfect clips. The thoughtfulness of TCM does not go unnoticed.

I watch these videos with sadness and appreciation each year. We have lost a lot of people whose work was a part of our lives. Angela Lansbury’s passing was symbolic of the end of an era in Hollywood that I loved, musicals. Betty White didn’t get shown last year because she died New Years Eve. The memorial video done by TCM is probably done weeks in advance so those that unfortunately pass on the day the video airs don’t have time for pulling clips of their work, editing them and adding them to the video. It would be nice if there were another video released a few days later in the New Year, to honor those entertainers that pass on New Years Eve each year, to at least acknowledge their passings.

Thank you, TCM editors and researchers, for this beautiful tribute.

[TheAnastasiaLee]

These tributes make me sad. But also glad. These people came into the world and told a story. Now they’re onto the next world to tell another story.

Thank you so much TCM for including the lovely Olivia Newton John in this tribute. She was much more than a singer...an actress, advocate for women's health, a kind human being. Thank goodness TCM acknowledged her talent as Sandy in "Grease".

[sertorrhenclegane]

At the beginning of 2022, following the passing of Peter Bogdanovich and Sidney Potier, I said, "TCM has found their bookends this year." And, damn it, if they didn't prove me right. A fantastic tribute if I've ever seen.

TCM always does a wonderful job with these memorials. The scenes, music, everything. Very touching.

People may not believe me but Alfonso mejía is actually my great uncle and as I’m currently a college Freshman, I’m so glad that I discovered in 2022 that I’m related to him which is how I got my passion for the performing arts. As someone who was a 2000’s kid, I also remember listening to the grease soundtrack on repeat and watching the movie on DVD and I have Olivia Newton John to thank for that even though I’m more of a Rizzo than Sandy. I also have Angela Lansbury to thank for igniting my love for musical theater because Beauty and the beast was one of my favorite movies growing up next to Flashdance and fame with Irene Cara.

R.I.P Angela Lansbury 1925-2022 she will be missed ⚰️🕊️

Very classy goodbye to some people that truly contributed to the betterment of many lives. Mine for one. Thank you.

[Kendell]

Does TCM include everyone? No, but they do this better than anyone.

[lysouth]

I just watched this on tv. I got chills and cried. This was so beautiful.

The DETAIL of the editing of TCM's memoriam compilations is truly breathtaking. When the song lyrics sing "...I'm haunted by the ghost of you...", they match the lyrics with Ivan Reitman, director of "Ghostbusters". Later, the lyrics: "...the night is full of terrors..." are matched with images of Hammer Horror icon Veronica Carlson, and the clip of David Warner from "The Omen". And my personal favorite, matching that bit of Angelo Badalamenti's famous "Twin Peaks" score with the song in the video. Honestly, these memoriam vids deserve an Editing Oscar of their own.
