circajgrant Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 OK, I am one of the people who has been requesting movies TCM does not have. I just found out about the TCM Library. I am confused about the Library though, I looked up a movie and it was not listed. However, when I looked up the same movie (Duel in the Sun) on the schedule it was there. So does TCM have access to movies other than what they posses in their own library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Yes - because TCM leases films from other companies to play on the station - but what they list in their "Library" is what they own themselves. There are many films that TCM plays that they do not own - but it's really to their credit that they do this - because this way we can see a wider variety of classic films.

circajgrant Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Thank you very much for the information. I think every movie I requested is from Columbia and I found something on the "Feedback" page that TCM does lease from them. Now I don't feel guilty for requesting non-TCM movies and "clogging" up the Suggest-a-Movie bulletin board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
