(17,139 posts)It's always amazing to find more classic film fans I recently learned there are some teens in my community who are avid vintage movie buffs and I look forward to your posts.
As for being TCM-less, there can be workarounds, such as online viewing or attending screenings at the local library, university, or musuem. Best of all is when there's a revival or film festival.
Enjoy!
