TCM Classic Film Festival’s Hosts and Producers Offer Their Personal Picks for 2024 Fest, From ‘Pulp Fiction’ to 100-Year-Old ‘Sherlock Jr.’


From 'Pulp Fiction' backward to the 100-year-old 'Sherlock Jr.,' hosts and producers offer top picks for the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival.

“And Billy Dee Williams just has such an incredible filmography and is just a really terrific person to bring in for multiple events, so he’ll be hosting two films (“The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings,” “Lady Sings the Blues”) and doing a full one-hour conversation in Club TCM. A common theme among people both behind the scenes and on the street at this year’s fest: a sigh of relief that TCM seems to be staying on track after massive public and private panic over cutbacks that were being made by the parent company, Warner Bros. Variety talked with Karger (who will be doing a signing for his new TCM-branded book, “50 Oscar Nights: Iconic Stars & Filmmakers on Their Career-Defining Wins”), McGillicuddy and Tabesh to discuss what they are recommending as likely highlights for the 2024 program, whether those are broad fan favorites or worthy obscurities.
