The best thing about TMC was that it's curated, other people watched it at the same time you did, and that the films were put into context. I feel like if there wherever a streaming channel that could have social media incorporated into it, TMC should be it. I would love to discuss classic movies with other people who love classic movies. I'm 33 and I have no one to discuss my love of Westerns or Billy Wilder movies with or pre-Hayes code screwball comedies with!

During COVID, I pitched the idea to my husband of going down an AFI top 100 list, but it would actually be really hard to do without "buying" a lot of movies that weren't streaming anywhere. Also, I scrapped the idea when he described Lawrence of Arabia as a "three hour movie about how the desert sucks". (Noooooooo! The soundtrack alone! Okay see I'm getting sidetracked). But this feeds into my point about how it would be nice to see a curated movie collection where viewers could discuss the movies with other people who have good taste in movies!
