Quick Preview of TCM in May

Here's a brief look at what's coming to Turner Classic Movies next month!

Gregory Peck will be the May Star of the Month. Peck's films, including many of his best-known titles, will be shown on Friday evenings.

Peck was previously Star of the Month in October 1999 and July 2010.

I love the May "Special Theme" which celebrates the films of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu on Tuesdays. The lineup includes the TCM premiere of the recent documentary THE OZU DIARIES (2025), which will also screen at the upcoming TCM Classic Film Festival.

Ozu's THE ONLY SON (1936) will also have a TCM premiere in May.

The May Noir Alley films will be DRUNKEN ANGEL (1948), THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS (1946), STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951), and HOUSE OF NUMBERS (1957).

Filmmakers receiving multifilm tributes in May will include Glenn Ford and Edmund Goulding.

May programming themes will include '50s sci-fi, high school, biographies, tap dancing, and board games being played in movies.

As usual, Mother's Day will be celebrated on May 12th which a lineup which includes MILDRED PIERCE (1945).

The annual Memorial Day Weekend war film marathon will take place from Friday, May 22nd, through Monday, May 25th.

I may be updating this preview as additional information becomes available, and I'll have much more detailed information on TCM's May schedule posted here around May 1st!

In the meantime, enjoy Sophia Loren as she continues as the April Star of the Month.
