Happy #MothersDay! Movies stir our imaginations and touch our hearts. They allow us to connect with people we've never met, and remember those we hold most dear. I hope you put on your Mom’s favorite movie today. I know I’ll be! - Mike

It's our birthday! TCM was launched on this day in 1994. The first film to air that night was GONE WITH THE WIND, followed by SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, THE PETRIFIED FOREST and CAT PEOPLE. Thank you for your support! We'll always have the movies!
