The Turner Classic Movies channel specializes in presenting historic films uncut and commercial free. Hosts such as Ben Mankiewicz, Alicia Malone, Dave Karger and Eddie Muller introduce films to provide modern viewers with context. TCM still wants cinephiles to see classics on the big screen, so it launched the Classic Movie Festival in 2010.
Previous festivals have screened films The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Throne of Blood, Animal House, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Red River, The Graduate, Bonnie and Clyde and more. Previous celebrity attendees have included Robert Redford, Mel Brooks, Angie Dickinson, Robert Benton, Eva Marie Saint, Sidney Poitier and more.
2020 TCM Classic Film Festival passes go on sale in November. Four levels of passes sell for $349, $749, $999 and $2,449.
