In 1994, TCM released a short film-it was excerpts from the most significant movies of the past 100 years. I liked it, can you buy it?

Chuck Workman’s [100 Years at the Movies](http://imdb.com/title/tt0179624/). They still show it, but it doesn’t seem to be available for sale or download.

They play it with some frequency, although it’s always as filler after a movie that’s, say, 8 minutes short of 2 full hours; it’s never listed in the schedule. Maybe you can contact TCM and ask when they’re showing it next.
