'''{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' displays an external link to a web page for a film title at the [http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/ TCM Movie Database] (TCMDb). It is intended for use in the [[Wikipedia:External links|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 {{tl|TCMDb name}} instead.
