TCM Classic Film Festival Passes on Sale December 8th

Last August classic film fans received happy news when Turner Classic Movies announced the dates for the 2027 TCM Classic Film Festival.

The 18th edition of the festival will be held in Hollywood from April 8th through 11th, 2027.

TCM has now announced that passes will go on sale on December 8th, 2026. Early bird pricing will run through January 8th.

TCM previously confirmed that pass prices will remain the same this year.

The festival's theme was also announced, "In Good Company: Friendship in Film."

TCM's press release says "From bickering buddies and silly sidekicks to lifelong confidants and unlikely allies, friendships in the movies have created indelible moments and enduring stories of trust, loyalty and ocnnection."

Along with screen friendships, the festival will also celebrate friendships behind the camera.

TCM also announced the first batch of titles for the 2025 festival. Three particular favorites of mine are on the list:

*A 90th anniversary screening of EASY LIVING (1937) with Jean Arthur and Ray Milland

*A nitrate print of MIDNIGHT (1939) starring Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore, and Mary Astor

*A world premiere restoration of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944)

Other titles on the initial list include:

*A world premiere restoration of the Fleischer Studios animated film GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (1939)

*ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW (1959)

*A world premiere restoration of THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (1982)

*A 50th anniversary presentation of SLAP SHOT (1977)

Please visit the TCM Classic Film Festival site for a complete list of the films announced to date.

Stay tuned for many more festival announcements as they develop in the coming months!

Finally, again this year Fandango is selling advance 2027 festival merchandise online.

Over the past couple of years the merchandise available in Fandango's online store has been different from what's sold in the festival boutique, so if prospective purchasers spot something of interest on the Fandango site I recommend ordering now rather than counting on finding it at the festival.
