TCM Big Screen Classics - 2022 Schedule

Every year, 12 classic films are chosen by TCM to be brought back to theaters across the nation as part of the TCM Big Screen Classics series. Some years the selection of films is better than others and, for 2022, the line-up is particularly good with a nice mixture of genres. Lately, they have been playing films that mark an anniversary of so many decades and next year is no exception. 

Please note, most of these films play on two dates each but, at the moment, we are only aware of one release date, so circle your calendar if something catches your fancy.

  1. The highlights for me come in the second half of the year with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, In the Heat of the Night, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The Wrath of Khan is the only one I have seen in a movie theater.

    1. I'm looking forward to seeing The Wrath of Khan as well...especially since I've never seen the film before.

  2. I've already informed my husband that we are going to Casablanca, Singin' in the Rain, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Smokey and the Bandit, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I've seen Casablanca, Singin' in the Rain, and To Kill a Mockingbird in the theater before, but I'm going again!

  3. Half of these they have just shown in recent years. With all the films in their library, it's a shame to show them so soon already.
