TCM Remembers
2 comments December 15th, 2008
Every year around this time, Turner Classic Movies compiles a short film remembering all the moviemakers who died during the past 12 months. Here’s the 2008 version.
TCM’s memoriam montage always tops the one the Academy runs during Oscar night. While the Academy has to deal with a limited running time and varied applause from the live audience, Turner has no such limitations and can make room for such memorable people as Vampira (from PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) and Ben Chapman (from THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.) It’s more than just a tribute to the lives lost, it’s a tribute to the strange and wonderful power of movies.
