I don't have TCM but I'm working on a way to get it. Some great films. Just subscribed to this group too.
It's always amazing to find more classic film fans — I recently learned there are some teens in my community who are avid vintage movie buffs — and I look forward to your posts.
As for being TCM-less, there can be workarounds, such as online viewing or attending screenings at the local library, university, or musuem. Best of all is when there's a revival or film festival.
Enjoy!
