Lose the damned ad captioning!

2009-11-15T16:02:56Z

AMC does, indead, present a pile of flicks with wonderful story lines, and often in HD. I'm a hardcore movie buff and have seen many of the older films AMC shows already, and have many on DVD or (older) VHS recordings. I'm watching the original (1953) version of "War of the Worlds" as I write this. The movie is great. A true SciFi camp piece. AMC makes it suck with all the damned captioning at the bottom of the screen.

Bad enough is the stupid AMC logo caption at almost bottom right. Wose are the pernacious ads for upcoming features at almost lower left. Worst are when the the latter blow up and get animated to occupy in an annoying way the left bottom quadrant of the screen.

If AMC would stop the sh*t described above, I might drop my subscriptions to premium moview channels such as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, etc.

AMC does make good decisions about what films it airs. Too bad it messes up big-time on presentation!

Trying to find out name of old movie

2009-11-08T23:22:12Z

Can anyone please tell me the name of a movie that has the following plot. During either world war I or world war II, a young pilot had an affair with a woman right before he went to war. They planned to marry but he was killed, and she found out she was pregnant. She had the baby in secret and put it up for adoption to avoid scandal and protect the child. In one of the final scenes of the picture, she meets her fully grown son (who I belive was also now in the military). She wanted to much to tell him that she was his mother but was afraid to, but finally the guy put two and two together and realized that this woman who had been so close to him all his life was actually his mother. Great tear jerker and a great happy ending.

How do i watch a movie on here?

Fearfest?... Yeah Monsterfest had a better Ring.

2009-10-31T17:21:59Z

I've already commented on such a topic. I guess I just really want my voice heard. Don't call it "Fearfest" if all it induces is disgust not fear. If you want someone to write the best monster list for next year I'd be more than happy. I've already read several good suggestions from people just like me who have been avid AMC monsterfest viewers in the past and are just getting tired of watching it go downhill...FAST.

commercials

2009-10-31T00:45:00Z

I have a hard time watching the movies towards the end cause of all the commercials, you say that you have less than the norm, well I get overwhelmed by all of the commercials. When it gets down to five minutes of commercials and six minutes of the show I turn off the show. When the program starts you get about twenty minutes to get your interest, and then the bombardment starts, towards the end its almost a toss up, they interrupt the commercials to put on the show, and thats when I switch the channels

WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING FOR HALLOWEEN?

2009-10-28T13:01:45Z

I'm dressing up as Freddy Kreuger and going trick or treating. I posted my costume on my ID pic. Scary isn't it.

Irritating advertisement banners along the bottom of my HDTV screen during the movie.

2009-10-24T21:11:54Z

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of having the movie they're watching disrupted with banners that are displayed along the bottom of the screen. Right when the movie is getting interesting along the bottom of my 46 inch HDTV screen pops up a "Mad Men advertisement". A couple minutes later another distraction, "Next on AMC" pops up. I'm not just talking about a small portion of the screen mind you, but at least 1/4 of the screen is taken up with text and pictures. Then a little while later the irritating AMC HD icon at the bottom right become "Fear Fest '09". Good GOD why not let us just watch the freakin movie and advertise upcoming AMC events during the commercials. Or better yet why not display these irritating banners during the commercials? I've gotten to the point where I've started to change channels just to get away from this madness.

please show films more that demonstrate the duke's acting range. Films such as "Red River" and "Dark Command". Don't set it on auto-pilot for"Chisum" And "Rio Bravo". This is obviously someone who isn't doing what their job! Do you really think the public doesn't notice this? You have more competition than ever! FIRE THIS PERSON !!!

Looking for WWII Movie

2009-10-10T20:34:25Z

I saw a movie on AMC about a group of WWII pilots taken prisoner by the Nazis. One by one they unwaringly give away a bit of a secret until the Nazis can figure out what their mission is. They realize this as they are being transported by train, escape, and get word to the resistance. Instead of their comrades flying to their death as a result of their errors, they are able to bomb a field of fuel tanks. Problem is, I can't remember the name of the movie! Can anyone help?

Get back to Basics!

2009-09-08T01:10:59Z

Put the Movie back in AMC. It is time to go back to basics and show quality - uncut - movies.

What is this Life Coach crap? How can you have AMC ORIGNIALS when you are American Movie CLASSICS?

Stop the banners during the movie. You are doing a disservice to the actors and directors, and to the viewers.

The future of AMC should be to get back to basics.

really dis my first time i to appreciate amc for wat they re doing making less previlage once to still watch tv. i.e international station . thonyjosh

Casino?

2009-08-17T06:56:12Z

What's the deal with not having Casino on the top 100 movies, and not in the top 100 gangster/crime movies. Casino and Goodfellas are 2 of the best gangster movies ever, and are in the top 50 movies ever!
