Man, when they got to Robert Osborne it felt like a kick in the ribs. He’ll be desperately missed by lovers of film everywhere.

I'm so glad that they gave Robert Osbourne the coveted last spot for this year's tribute list.

The last one wasn't just them saying goodbye to a TCM host, but an old friend.

Wow. Didn't see this before today. Seeing Robert Osbourn at the very end felt like someone clutching on my heart. Loved his enthusiasm for classic cinema and looked forward to his film introductions so much. Greatly missed.

for those wondering about Carrie Fisher... she was included in the video last year...she was a last-minute addition to the presentation...her mother Debbie Reynolds, unfortunately, that one day made the difference in whether to try to get her in as well or miss the "end of year" deadline (no pun intended)...plus, you have to look at it from the standpoint of her legacy...people would have been angry if they had just rushed a quick pic of Debbie at the end, given her decades of work... so, she was guaranteed a spot in this year's presentation... TCM REMEMBERS is also known for the formula that the last spot in the memoriam is usually reserved for the person TCM sees as the most impactful loss for classic films that year...and, where any other year where people like Debbie Reynolds or Jerry Lewis would have surely been that person...it's very fitting that Robert Osborne got that spot... plus...I defy anyone who didn't choke up a bit when they showed Debbie giving a kiss to a baby Carrie Fisher...

This gives the performers so much more respect than the Oscars. I just wish it would have been around back to when so many did not get the send off they deserved.

These tributes are very well produced...you always see at least one or two people you didn't know had passed that year...producing a quiet gasp " Oh no! He/She died?" And " Noooo not them!!!"

RIP Robert Osborne, you are now among the stars where you deserve to be.

Too many losses who can not be replaced. Guess we are all getting older but this one hit me harder for lots and lots of performers who represented many eras of film and no replacement for these great talents. God's rest Mr. Osborne.

RIP Adam West. We'll always see you in the same Bat time and the same Bat channel.

Robert Osborne as the final tribute was so fitting. To me, he WAS TCM; it’s just not the same without him.

Gotta stop cutting onions while I watch TCM Remembers videos 😭

Robert Osborne made TCM. Whenever I see this channel or hear someone say TCM his name is the one I know. RIP to all these great artists.

You all be missed RIP. especially Robert Osborne, thank you TCM, all this great people left us, but we well remember all watch TCM.!

I never choke up at these annual 'remembers' videos, but the last one presented cause me off guard and I just balled up in tears. :(

Thanks for his legacy. Adam West and Roger Moore. Legends never die.

Well done, you could teach the Oscars a thing or two.

Thank you, TCM, for featuring June Foray in this video. I didn't know that the dad from the "Home Alone" movies had died. We'll miss him as well as June, Jerry Lewis, Debbie Reynolds, Adam West and most of all, Robert Osbourne.

The older I get the more depressing this becomes :(

No one does memoriams better than you TCM. Thank you for another great remembrance. So many wonderful performers lost this year and many that are from my generation... I knew it was coming but it makes me tear up so much.

This years TCM Remembers was esp sad , the song is the best fitted for it as well I believe. RIP to them all

Thank you for this. Nice ending with Robert Osborne. You will never be able to please everyone. This was a beautiful tribute and reminded me of some amazing talented people whose works will live forever!

May they rest forever in the Arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Sadly, TCM already has one person to include in TCM Remembers 2018: Oscar-winning film editor Jerry Greenberg died this week at the age of 81. Among the films he edited: 'The French Connection' (for which he won his Oscar), 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Kramer vs. Kramer,' 'They Might Be Giants,' 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three,' 'Heaven's Gate,' 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,' 'Awakenings,' 'American History X' and Brian De Palma's 'Scarface,' 'Dressed to Kill' and 'The Untouchables.' He was also an assistant editor on 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'Reds' and music editor on 'A Thousand Clowns.' In addition to his Oscar, he won a BAFTA (also for 'The French Connection') and received a Career Achievement Award from his guild, the American Cinema Editors (ACE), in 2015. He was a giant in his field, a true master of his craft, and an absolute gentleman to boot. I think it's safe to say he has a spot waiting for him in next year's tribute.

I always choke up at these no matter the year or the personalities. It's a stark reminder to anyone with two brain cells that our day will come as well and soon. The beautiful part to this is that these are some of the people that make this crummy world we've constructed into something far more beautiful because of their work and effort. With the people in the arts, I'm not sure I could have ever lived this long. We'll spend trillions on killing people and war, but can't seem to find any money to create a bit more love.

2017 was a tough year for fans of Horror.

Every year, these TCM Remembers never fail to leave a catch in my throat. Some will kvetch that they left some notable names off, and they do (for various reasons) but I still feel these are beautiful sojourns and TCM does an honorable job. This year, the musical accompaniment is the beautiful Cardigans song, "Lead Me Into The Night."

Thanks, TCM. Your tributes are always of the highest class.

Chikara Hashimoto deserves such recognition as he's been in the film industry longer than many here yet he wasn't included in this tribute.

makes me wanna cry! r.i.p. to all of them!

I miss Robert Osborne so much 💧💖✨

as each of us ages, we will each recognize more of the people on these lists

Most of All I Miss Robert Osbourne !! A Scholar & Gentleman & A Damn Good Guy !! No More Stories of Lucille Ball, Olivia da Havilland, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Maureen O'Hara, and Robert Mitchum !!

Rest In Peace, Bill.

I always look forward to these,each year,and I always tear up at the ones I knew and shock at the ones I didn't realize had passed.BUT...Robert Osborne really choked me up.I always wished I could have had just an hour with him.He was the epitome of "Hollywood" inside information and seemed like a real nice man.R.I.P.,Mr.Osborne.

It is surprising the actors you remember but suddenly learn of their passing. I didn't even know Powers Booth and Stephen Furst passed away. God rest their souls.

As always, another great tribute by TCM....there's always someone I see that I didn't know passed on....Thanks to all at TCM for all the great movies and specials all year long, my absolute favorite channel ! : )))

It always seems amazing how much time has passed every time I watch one of these! Debbie Reynolds? 2017? She died in December 28, 2016.

Not only is this tribute to our departed stars but downtown Atlanta never looked better.

Beautifully done, as always.

2017 sucked for a lot of reasons, and this was one of them. So much loss.

Remains of the memory.

Beautiful TCM! Whomever produces these needs to work on the ones the Award shows do every year. These are so well done!

Seeing Bill Paxton really got me.

Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt, two of the original cast from Alien.

to celebrates passway in May we never forget you rest in peace thanks making good moviez

Sonny Landham should have been in this tribute. He's more of a film actor than series and he's a stunt performer.

Thank you, for showing decent pictures of the people. So respectful!

Wow ! Thank you TCM, So many, that I remember seeing over the years.....many that weren't that old....😞 😔 😟 😕 🙁

These things always hit me right THERE. You guys do the best.

These are always soooo good. thanks TCM

Debbie is holding Carrie as a baby

You forgot Miriam Colon! She was a great actress in both movies and television! She's probably more remembered for role as Al Pacino's mother in "Scarface", and as Elizabeth Pena's mother in "Lone Star".

Glad to see that Don Gordon was remembered. Most other lists did not include him.

This reminded me I briefly met June Foray at an event a few years before her passing.

❤️💋👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💔😪🎭🎬🎟🏆🎥📺🎞🕯 Thank you. RIP 🙏

The death of Robert Osborne was the death of TCM. Since he left us, the channel has steadily declined in quality. The branding, the messaging, the presentations, all of it is failing the regular viewer. I hope it can survive despite all of the terrible decision and budget cuts. I miss Robert all the time.

All missed. RIP

John Vernon passed in 2005, Stephen Furst in 2017 and Verna Bloom in 2019. TCM used clips from Animal House for all three.

I wish they did tributes like this in the UK so beautiful

😥😖Aww, #BILLPAXTON ,You sexy charming, loveable, gorgeous, talented, #HUNK of a Man--I miss you more as time flies by....😢💋

Ok...this one got me... Debbie and Carrie rest peacefully beautiful ladies.

Cried when I heard "hi, im Robert Osborne" So much better than Ben. Robert is a true hero

I'm looking forward to 2019 Remembers! 😥

The one who is noticeably missing from 2017 was Jay Thomas. He had a major role in Mr Holland’s Opus which also starred Glenne Headley who is the very first actress seen in this video.

I saw the comment further down regarding Carrie, Thank you

Wow. So many favorites died this year (2017). None of them can ever be replaced. I agree with DDiva R. Very depressing.

Damn, a lot of good people left us this year!

Super Sad to See Two of My Favorite Character Actors who both Coincidentally starred in The Greatest & Scariest SCI FI Movie Ever Made IMO "ALIEN" John Hurt & Harry Dean Stanton are No Longer with Us

I knew Red West. I am so glad they remembered him.

Epic❤❤❤

When I saw Jimmy Stewart’s grave a dimple headstone among the the graves I remember my dad talking about famous people who came to the automotive factory to get cars. John Wayne was in the washroom using a urinal and laughed and told my dad yeah we put our pants on one leg at a time. And then they stood and talked about the car he was coming for.

John Hurt and Harry Dean Stanton next to each other. Alien :(

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher both died in late December 2016. This is the problem every year with a lot of these "year in reviews" in general, especially in print. They usually end in mid-late November. So if some major event happened in December, or if some famous person passed away, then...that's it! I got my TIME Year In Review book for this year. Folks like Fisher, Reynolds, or George Michael died too early to be in this year's In Memoriam, and died too late to be in last year's! Much like when Paul Walker and Nelson Mandela in late 2013. My point with all this? Perhaps we should wait 'til January...

Never thought I would complain about a tcm remembers, but leaving out Sonny Landham made it feel very incomplete, imho.

Goddamn this was a hard year, so many talents gone.

Mary Tyler Moore was in the Oscar Memoriam last year but made the TCM this year because of when she died. I think the same with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Mary Tyler Moore was up for an Oscar versus Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter. I would have voted for MTM but what a contrast in roles the upper middle class mother from Lake Forest versus, well, a coal miner's daughter. Would have been a great year for a tie!

The only one I don't understand missing is Roy Dotrice. C'mon, the guy was in Amadeus for chrissake! And his daughters are all actresses, I'm sure they'll notice this glaring ommission as well.

No Jim Nabors, eh? He appeared in a few movies with Burt Reynolds.

Keely Smith bought the farm on Saturday. Any chance she'll be added? Thunder Road is a classic.

Well lost batman in 2017😢

These talented beautiful people don’t really die do they??

They always miss so many important people. I wonder if it a time issue ?

Rip paxton😢😢

What film is that bit with John hurt?

2017 was a year of heavy loses.

Barbra Hale from Perry Mason

Who sings this song I kind of like it

I thought carrie fisher died a day before her mother? Yet i did not see that they mentioned her. Am i correct?

I wish that Peter Sallis' part was longer than an eye blink !! Otherwise , this is another great video !!

Bold😊

Well, I'm crying again! May God rest their souls! And quick dumb question, did I miss Carrie Fisher? I saw her mom Debbie Reynolds, but I didn't see Carrie.

wanted to add that they left out Christine Kaufmann

The only singer/actor who was left out was David Cassidy. Why? I know I won't get an answer, and I've asked this before. It just upset me. Still does.

too sad

No mention of Jim Nabors???

I'm just noticing the seeming bimodal distribution in life expectancies of people born before WWII and after. Ages of deaths of boomers: Carrie Fisher age 60, Bill Paxton age 62, Glenne Headley 62, Miguel Ferrer 62, Stephen Furst 63. And those are the ones I know about. Michael Caine is 22 years older than Glenne Headley and is thankfully still with us. Who would have thought watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 29 years ago she' be the first of the three starring cast members to go? It seems that people born in the 20s and 30s live to 85-95, and those born in the post WWII era are dropping like flies. Why is that?

Robert Osborne was such a comforting presence in our lives. Many have said this, and it is true: it was as though a dear old friend entered our living rooms, sat in a chair reserved just for him, and with his gentle manner and words, took us away from our troubles and to a world of make-believe.

R.I.P. Robert Osborne (1932-2017) :'(

Every year I watch these and every year someone nearby is cutting onions.
