Talk: Future of Classic

Jaws! They don't make em' like they used to

2008-07-17T23:41:10Z

An undeniable classic. Very rarely does a movie stand the test of time, let alone over 30 years. There's something special about the movies made in the 70's that you don't see too often today. Jaws is one of the biggest examples of that. With Steven Spielberg's flawless direction we are taken to another world with characters who remind us of the people in our lives (well, maybe not Quint). I guess I would label this as a horror movie, but it's a subtle one. Spielberg is reminiscent of Hitchcock in that he doesn't give too much away and the fear becomes a psychological one. I mean, so many people were afraid to go back in the water after seeing this film! Something about the summertime makes me want to watch this film over and over again lately. From the first time I saw it until the last time this is one film that will remain one of my favorites. If you haven't see it, see it now. Check it out on AMC tonight, and watch me on Cinemania!

DVD Enhanced Versions Shown Only Once?

2008-07-09T23:51:05Z

Why are the DVD Enchanced version of movies (letter boxed with interesting trivia displayed beneath) shown only once? I caught the last 30 minutes of "The Graduate" a few months ago and was saddened to see that it would never be shown again. What is the thinking behind this decision? Are DVD enchanced movies available elsewhere?

Jaws Remake?

What about a modern day Jaws movie with more of the book contents in todays time frame? I think that could be awesome. What actors could play Brody, Quint and Hooper?

AMC: Future of Classic Commercial

2008-07-03T14:50:37Z

Hey, big fan of AMC tv. I watch the movies all the time. Recent I've seen your new commercial for "Future of Classic". The one that goes, "This is..." and has a song to accompany it, a steady piano beat. I was wondering if there is a possible way to view that commercial on your site. I've looked but maybe I'm not very good at looking. Or maybe someone knows an outsource. Anyways, thanks in advance!

First Cinderella Movie Ever Made?

2008-07-02T18:39:19Z

Is there a way I can get information on the first Cinderella movie ever made in black and white? I'm not sure about the year but it is around late 1960 and early 1970`s. I would like to have info on that movie copy or something.

Commercial Song "This is Honor"

2008-06-30T00:17:20Z

What the song is that plays on the current AMC "This is..." ad?

The text on the ad goes "This is Honor", "This is Courage" etc. while showing clips from movies.

The track is sounds like a downbeat, hiphop instrumental with a piano riff in the background.

If anyone knows what it is, or how might find out, I thank you in advance.

Columbo

2008-06-28T21:22:39Z

I love the Columbo movie series and showed today just don't have the same flare. I am new to this website. How do I communicate my suggestions to have AMC schedule future Columbo shows on the air?

best westerns

2008-06-23T10:58:22Z

How could "The Big Country" not be in the top 20 westerns ever. It's definetly in the top "5". And "Open Range" deserves to be up there too.
"Shane" is number one without question, the ones that all the others aspired to after that movie.

Jurassic Park 4?

2008-06-23T04:10:52Z

Has anyone heard anything? I have checked on websites, some say "yah ones coming out. I've read the script." while others say, "NO why on earth would speilburg invest time in one. There's no audience for it." There is an audience-me and my friends. come on ppl. So tell if there is any news on any thing about JP4. I want to know!

The Next John Wayne??

2008-06-21T15:17:43Z

Come on, really? There was no John Wayne before John Wayne, UNTIL John Wayne, so how can there be a next John Wayne...like askin who's the next God...
there's only ONE. You can compare, but only the older, more seasoned would fit. I agree that Duvall, Selleck, Elliott would work, but don't leave out Tommy Lee Jones. But none of them are or ever would be The
Duke. They would just be remembered as really good
cowboys. John Wayne was just America period. His voice alone was enough to make the enemy throw a white flag. Shoulda been President....

Terminator 2 - I'll be back... again and again

2008-06-13T01:21:57Z

Hey guys -

This is Evan, the die-hard fan from the Terminator 2 "Cinemania" episode.

It seems like no matter the place or time, whenever T2 comes on, I always have to watch it through the end. This movie has it all: incredible action, huge starpower, broader themes and some of the most revolutionary special effects from way back in 1991.

My favorite scene was the galleria and first meeting between Arnold and the T-1000. Up to that point the film is a race to John Connor, then a race to Sarah Connor and then a chase with the T-1000 in pursuit.

The episode was a blast to film. Some of the things I found out about the effects blew my mind!! When T-1000 froze in liquid nitrogen and his leg broke... they used an amputee! There are a million stories like that.

Hope you enjoyed the trivia question. What you may not know is that the 3rd deciding question was actually the 9th because Sufe and I kept knowing and not knowing the same information. Who knew?

What about T2 sticks out to you?

-Evan
