Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is a cable television channel featuring commercial-free classic movies, mostly from the Turner Entertainment and Warner Bros. film libraries, which include many MGM, United Artists, RKO and Warner Bros. Titles. Unlike other movie channels TCM is a commercial free channel. From time to time, the channel shows restored versions of films, particularly old silent films with newly commissioned musical soundtracks. Turner Classic Movies` regular programming spans almost the entire history of film, from the 1920s forward, including, of late, a few post-1970 films.

A given day may begin with 1924`s Greed and conclude with the 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. TCM occasionally shows some classic 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Columbia Pictures movies, but they have to be licensed individually. Gaps between features are filled with theatrically released movie trailers and classic short subjects. Although a vast majority of TCM`s movies are classics from the 1930s-1950s, the network also airs original content, mostly documentaries about classic movie personalities and particularly notable films.

Turner Classic Movies celebrates the world of Indian cinema with a 12-film festival dedicated to "Bollywood," in the year 2003. The films in TCM`s festival, rarely available to American audiences, represent the grandest and most colorful Bollywood films, from tragi-comic melodramas to romances, containing the over-the-top operatic approach to filmmaking, use of color and elaborate choreography for which the genre is known. The festival covered films from the early 1950s through the beginning of the 21st century. Included in the festival were great movies like DO BIGHA ZAMEEN, Mother India, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Rangeela, The Creation of a Woman and the like.

Turner Classic Movies` GUEST PROGRAMMER Gives Viewers the Chance to Discuss Favorite Films with TCM Host Robert Osborne Based on Viewer Video Submissions. TCM`s GUEST PROGRAMMER, which regularly airs each month, invites a celebrity to exchange star status for a role as a devoted fan of classic film by picking a selection of his or her favorite movies and sharing with viewers what he or she has come to love about each one.

Turner Classic Movies is currently seen in more than 63.4 million homes and is a 24-hour cable network from Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., an AOL Time Warner company. TCM presents the greatest motion pictures of all time from the largest film library in the world, the combined Time Warner and Turner film libraries, from the `20s through the `80s, commercial-free and without interruption.
