Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

The notorious Chilly Willy, who broke loose in 1990 and made it to Canada, ultimately found by the U.S. Coast Guard on the Canadian side of Lake St. Clair. Probably Detroit's only Thanksgiving balloon scandal.

Grew up watching this! Never in person - too cold but on TV while the turkey was roasting. And yes, the Big Heads are nightmare inducing to a small child... still fascinating to read their history...(gifting) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Agree the #1 choice is odd but I'm pleasantly surprised at how well represented comedy classics incl. silent and screwball are represented here. #TCMParty
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!
