LOS ANGELES — Reunions, anniversaries and a love of classic cinema are lighting up Hollywood as the TCM Classic Film Festival returns for another year.<\/p>\n
The festival, hosted by Turner Classic Movies, brings together film lovers and industry veterans for screenings, special presentations and conversations that honor Hollywood’s legacy on the big screen.<\/p>\n
It celebrates beloved films from across generations, many shown in iconic venues and often accompanied by rare appearances from the stars and filmmakers behind them.<\/p>\n
The event opened with the 1967 film “Barefoot in the Park” starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.<\/p>\n
Fonda walked the carpet but saved her remarks for inside the theater, while TCM host Ben Mankiewicz embraced the moment.<\/p>\n
“On Monday, I’m going back to being a nobody, like 99.8% of the world,” he told On The Red Carpet. “But for four days, it’s a little like being Mick Jagger backstage at a Rolling Stones concert.”<\/p>\n
Anniversary screenings are a major draw this year. “Jerry Maguire,” “Fargo” and “Twister” mark 30 years, while “The Bad News Bears” celebrates 50.<\/p>\n
Actor David Stambaugh said he was thrilled to reunite with his “Bad News Bears” cast and be part of the festival.<\/p>\n
Other milestones include 75th anniversary screenings of “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”<\/p>\n
The lineup also includes “Grease 2” from 1982 with stars Lorna Luft and Maxwell Caulfield in attendance. Caulfield’s wife joked that he still has his signature moves.<\/p>\n
The TCM Classic Film Festival runs through Sunday.<\/p>\n
