Turner Classic Movies is an American premium cable channel that has been on the air continuously since 1994. They are well known for airing a wide range of movies (mainly from the 1930's to the 1950's), uncut and commercial-free, and for their many programming features such as the annual "31 Days of Oscar". They are also known by fans for their interstitial promos, many of which are created by the Sabotage Film Group. Perhaps most notable of these are the "This Month" promos and some of the pre-2015 "Star of the Month" promos, which since around 2002 have been mainly scored by music from contemporary alternative musicians such as Elle King, Courtney Barnett and Cloud Cult. Despite being fan favorites, few of them can be found on YouTube and other video-sharing sites.

This Month

Since September 2017, TCM has been saving their monthly promos on their Facebook page[1][2][3][4], and since March 2018 on their YouTube channel[5][6][7]. The September 2017 promo can also be found on Vimeo.[8] Outside that, only a handful of "This Month on TCM" promos can be found on the Internet as of June 2018. Sabotage Film Group has uploaded several promos to their Vimeo page[9] and a few scattered others can be found elsewhere.[10][11][12]

TCM Remembers

Every TCM Remembers reel since 2003 can be found easily online, but the ones from 2001 and 2002 are surprisingly not. The song that scored the 2001 video is unknown but the 2002 theme has been said to be Rickie Lee Jones' cover of "Cycles".

Patricia Neal

After actress Patricia Neal died in 2010 an interstitial remembering her life and work was produced. While it (like other videos remembering a recently deceased actor or film-related person) featured an original score, it has been said to be especially memorable.[13] However, only the last 25 or so seconds are on YouTube.[14]
