i've been looking around for this short TCM used to show all the time. it's like a history of cinema short that covered everything from the beginning of motion pictures up to like the mid 90s. it was set to dramatic music and features clips from some of the more noteworthy movies from the last 100 years. TCM used to show it all the time in between movies, but i haven't seen it in awhile.

anyone know what this is called?

100 Years at the Movies (1994)

awesome, thanks Dimension X!
