What song is played during "The Future of Classic" commercial?

Now there are two commercials, and I am unsure of which one it is. There is one with Charles Bronson in Death Wish (and a clip of Jeff Goldbloom), and there is one with Terminator 3. Anyway, the song is NOT Quantic's "Time is the Enemy," though it is an electronic beats tune. I have been going mad trying to find the title of this song, so any help is very much appreciated. =) It IS a commercial promoting AMC.

What is the song in the Future of Classic commercial?

I would like to know the name and artist of the song in the commercial which says "This is..." followed by words like courage, love, hate, etc. I think the clip of the song in the commercial is only instrumental. Thanks!

AMC speeding up movies?

Was just watching First Blood and the movie was obviously running faster than normal speed. It was especially noticable whenever Richard Crenna spoke, his voice was too high pitched. The movies are already edited, do we need them sped up too?

Old Dance Movie

My daughter and I saw a clip of an old black and movie where a group of dancers were tap dancing and doing a kick line while bouncing basketballs while kicking. Someone thought it might be one of the old Gold Digger of 1933, 35 or 37 movies. Does anyone know?

DVD_TV schedule?

Would it be possible to either have a schedule page for DVD_TV versions of movies, or at least a mention of it in the regular monthly schedule that would at least show up in a blog or schedule search for "DVD_TV" or "Enhanced Version"? I can't get enough of these enhanced movies, and it kills me that I miss them because they are either not or very quietly announced

Two Weeks Notice Commercial song

I am in love with the AMC commercial for Two Weeks Notice. I've been trying to figure out what song is playing during it and I have had zero luck finding it. In the commercial it goes "You can close your eyes. Close your eyes tonight. Close your eyes tonight."

Anyone have any clues? It's killing me!

Why not a Barracuda sea monster movie?

Hollywood has had a love affair with sea monsters since day one, but they never used a barracuda. We all know the great Jaws movie and the many spinoffs. There have been numerous films featuring alligators, pirahna, octopus, squid, orca, crocodiles etc. Why not a barracuda? They are fearsome and are armed with an awesome arsenal of razor sharp teeth. A newly published book titled, Barracuda, would be a great horror movie. The author, Mike Monahan, starts with the radiated waters of Bikini Atoll to inspire his tale of a mutant barracuda. If you liked Jaws, you'll love Barracuda. Maybe Hollywood will see the benefit of using a different sea monster to terrorize us in the future. Any would be movie producers can obtain a copy of Barracuda from the authors website www.mikemonahnbooks.com/ or from Amazon.com

DVD Enhanced Versions Shown Only Once?

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?

AMC: Future of Classic Commercial

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!

Commercial Song "This is Honor"

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.

The Graduate on AMC

I just saw part of the Graduate on AMC. It was shown the "DVD" way, i.e. with non-stop text, comments and information provided in a box at the bottom of the screen, while the movie played. What an utterly ridiculous thing! This totally undermines the movie experience, it interferes, you can't focus on the movie. Who came up with this idiocy? I sure hope AMC doesn't do this a lot, because the Osborne show is a good one. We watch him and his movies several times week. But please, don't ruin your excellent movies with this text non-stop text garbage at the bottom of the screen!

Movie to Buy

About 20 years ago I saw The Golden Gate Murders on AMC. It starred David Janssen & Susannah York. It apparently was a made-for-tv movie in 1979. I never saw it again on TV to tape, and as a result have been searching ever since to buy it. However, I cannot find it anywhere! Does anyone know where I might be able to buy it???

Desperate -- What Movie Is This?!

Is it possible this was How Green Was My Valley? If not, what?!

It was between 1976 and 1978 on what I believe to be PBS, and I think it was Masterpiece Theater. Not sure. All Brits. A man is walking through low grassy foothills, obviously looking for something ... or maybe it's just very familiar to him but he doesn't know why. He sees what I perceived to be a very beaten up, very weathered bowler hat (or is it a porkpie?), the one with a lip all around it -- that had a bunch of holes in it and was weather-beaten, thread-bare. It sparks a memory in him. Cut to him remembering when he was a little boy, and he was in a ... cave? Shack? I want to say it was a cave. There were these British hillbillies? Deep back woods Appalachia folk? Toothless, Troglodyte, dirty types in overall type clothes -- and he's there with them, and they're doing a lot of laughing at things they find very amusing, but the boy is very uncomfortable and wants out now.

He has to pee. They tell him to go in a pot. it was white? Low wide chamber pot thingie? And it turns out that this is what he found in the low foothills as an adult, was an ancient chamber pot that was rusted with holes in it. Is this the same chamber pot he peed in, the adult man wonders? When he did, he was really scared and upset and yelled, "I want to wake up! I want to wake up!!" in a very thick English (Welsh?) accent. Cut to him in the foothills again, remembering this, wondering if it's evidence that it all really happened. My image at that point was that he was an older 50-ish or 60-ish man with the rusty pot.

I had originally thought parts of the movie, The Lathe of Heaven were also this mystery movie, but I since learned that they're separate. I don't know if my parents were flipping between two movies, or I was jusst putting two movies together. In any event, The Liverpool BritBillies is a real mystery. A couple people think it could be How Green Was My Valley, but I haven't been able to find a verbatim walkthrough of that movie to find the scene.

Can anyone help?!
