< Template:TCMDb title

Template:TCMDb title displays an external link to a web page for a film title at the TCM Movie Database (TCMDb). It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) maintains its own comprehensive database of motion picture titles that are not limited to the film libraries that TCM owns, and includes links by which a user can suggest to TCM that they schedule any given title for viewing.

This template is designed for links to film titles; to a link to a person use {{TCMDb name}} instead.
