ClassicMovies_fan_chick Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Seeing on how 'Die Hard' is celebrating its third decade anniversary this year. TCM is showing it in select theatres. Will TCM be showing it this month also? If so, I'll be quite surprise because it'll be the first time the channel will show an Action film of that nature. R.I.P. Alan Rickman!

hamradio Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 This movie (plus the sequels) has been shown to death on other channels, doubt anyone will miss it if TCM doesn't air it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhov Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 TCM has already shown 80s action movies before and Die Hard is played on many different channels already. I think the "deal" is TCM only showing it in theaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewhite2000 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 TCM occasionally shows films in the theater that have never appeared on their network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last item on my bucket list is to Die Hard! Not to seriously change the subject Rich, but I thought you might be interested to know that your Avatar namesake, Tor Johnson aired again today in "Registered Nurse" (1934). He had a full head of hair and was quite a good-looking guy back then. He played a wrestler called Sonnevich. We discussed this movie before a couple of years or so ago. I even posted some stills from the movie for you then. BTW, REGISTERED NURSE is currently available on WATCH TCM ON-DEMAND until 11/20/2018, in case you've yet to see it, or would like to see it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmovieviewer Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Perhaps I missed it but I don't think anyone has yet addressed the question in the original post. If/when TCM schedules Die Hard it should show up at the top of their Overview page for the film: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/18605/Die-Hard/ So no, Die Hard is not currently scheduled on TCM.

Ya see, for the past few days and since this thread was started, I too have been looking for an opening to quote Mr. Willis' most famous line this flick.

I think the "deal" is TCM only showing it in theaters. But too, I've seen MANY of the movies shown on TCM many times on OTHER channels, and BEFORE TCM came along. So...... Why NOT show DIE HARD in place of say, the 11,399th showing of NORTH BY NORTHWEST? Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasterryjr Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 It has been stated TCM screens movies like Die Hard in theaters only. Do these titles eventually make it onto the TCM program schedule? I think I remember TCM screening "South Pacific" in theaters. I might be wrong. I have never seen South Pacific and I have always wondered why South Pacific, Oklahoma, and the Sound of Music are not on TCM. I thought these titles would show up during the 31 Days of Oscar. Does it have to do with channel/studio rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
