TCM Highlights: January 5-11 & Full January 2026 Calendar

TCM starts the new year with a schedule that has a little bit of something for everybody, from musicals to film noir to raw dramas about the real-life struggles of workers who fought their bosses for safer working conditions.

This week, look forward to Sally Field‘s Oscar-winning turn as a factory worker who demands better conditions in Norma Rae; Silkwood, the drama that netted Cher her first Oscar nomination and let the world know that she was more than just a pop star dabbling in Hollywood; Frank Sinatra musicals including The Tender Trap and Robin and the 7 Hoods; an evening of classic film noir featuring Double Indemnity, The Killers, and Joan Crawford‘s Mildred Pierce; Elvis’ Double Trouble, and much more. Even if you’re feeling like a living icicle, and are about to have your first full work week since Christmas, there will be something on TCM this week to make you smile.
