New York, NY - November 12, 2025 - Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has announced the first slate of films to be showcased at the 17^th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival, taking place in Hollywood, California on April 30 through May 3, 2026. Included will be a 75^th anniversary world-premiere restoration of Alice in Wonderland, a 90^th anniversary presentation of Modern Times, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Magnificent Seven and more.

To build excitement ahead of the festival, TCM and Fandango at Home, Fandango's leading video-on-demand streaming service, have partnered to offer exclusive holiday gifting items through Fandango FanStore. For the first time, newly designed merchandise will feature a custom festival holiday poster, ceramic ornaments, jigsaw puzzles, and cozy sherpa blankets, launching on November 12, 2025.

This year's theme, "The World Comes to Hollywood" will celebrate the gifted and vital artists, innovators and craftsmen who arrived in Hollywood from distant lands, and advanced the art, commerce and culture of cinema with extraordinary motion pictures, many now enshrined as part of our national film heritage.

The first titles of this year's festival as follows:

• ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1951) - 75^TH anniversary world premiere restoration
  Walt Disney's whimsical animated adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic novel follows a curious girl as she tumbles down a rabbit hole into a fantastical world filled with eccentric characters and surreal adventures.
  

• A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951) - 75^TH anniversary presentation
  George Stevens directs Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, and Shelley Winters in this romantic drama about an up-and-coming young factory worker whose heart and ambition lead him to make tragic choices.

• OUT OF THE PAST (1947)
  French born director Jacques Tourneur's quintessential Hollywood film noir follows a private detective (Robert Mitchum) drawn into a web of deceit and betrayal when he's hired by a mob boss (Kirk Douglas) to find his beautiful, and dangerous, ex-flame (Jane Greer).
  

• MODERN TIMES (1936) - 90^TH anniversary presentation
