The Retro Set Virtual Alt-Fest: Friday Edition!

Hollywood Blvd decorated, for the first time, for the first ever TCM Classic Film Festival, April 2010.

Welcome to the Retro Set Virtual Fest: Friday Edition! Join the party and follow the links below – no matter where you are!

We understand that most of our followers, and lovers of TCM are not able to attend. During the festival, our site live tweets and FBs and Instagrams on site, as we watch the movies, enjoy the special events and meet-up with like-minded folks.

But this year, you can watch the films at the same time we do. Go to the links below, and hit play at the exact time we are beginning to screen. Live-tweet to us @the_retro_set and hashtag #TCMFF and join the party.

In order to get you the most bang for your buck, we’ve opted for some of the easier sites to locate movie streams, like Amazon, Google Play, iTunes and FilmStruck. (In fact, almost all the titles available can be found through Amazon Prime, we just are not personally “promoting” any specific site).

Also, some of the films showing at the festival are rare, and don’t have a streaming counterpart. In those cases, we’ve curated films we think have a commonality with those offered at the festival

The festival programs in 2 hour blocks – so throughout the fest, we’ll be linking you to this article, so you can link to the movies at the same time.

We look forward to “virtually” meeting you and socializing. As always, remember to #StayClassic! Now #LetsMovie
