Wow it’s been 20 years since I was a projection manager at AMC. I remember building my own custom trailer reels and showing them to my coworkers on screening nights. I would use a lot of these different clips in them.
I was a projectionist for a few years at my AMC, along with 3 others and our projection manager. We were the last one in New Jersey to go digital. It was the saddest day when we were relinquished to usher duties. I quit shortly after.
I was a projectionist for AMC from 2012 till last year. When I do movie streams for friends, I have a playlist I can swap 80's/90's trailers in and out of, as well as the old Regal and AMC bumpers for that "You're at the movies feel". I loved working projection, but it ended up getting so automated this past year that I wasn't needed anymore, and wasn't in the mood to go back to working down stairs, so figured I'd just take my leave and do it as a hobby.
I worked at an AMC in Southern California as a high school kid in the mid-to-late 80s. Seeing these bumpers brings back a whole lot of memories. I loved working there.
JeikobuNippon I wish I wasn’t scared of the house lights dimming when I was younger. I didn’t start going all the time to the movies until I was 11. I’ll be 27 next month
4:37 marks the beginning of my time going to AMC theaters. I used to go once every other weekend with my friends when we were in senior year of high school, and seeing this specific presentation before the actual movie always made me feel so excited. It’s quite nostalgic now :^)
Me too, feel like I found a gold mine with these videos. I’m still trying to find the one where this woman is walking and talking about stuff and she’s super pretty and has a silver dress on, can’t find the commercial
The one of 4:39 where it turns into a WHOLE field was my favorite, magical. I thought it was always going to b that way for my whole life going the theaters.
The title says it's from 1980- (onward), but not really. Starting in June, 1975 about to enter the 8th grade, I remember seeing "the first" feature bumper before the start of The Towering Inferno, Airport 1975, Jaws, Let's Do It Again, Grizzly, Race with the Devil, The Shaggy D.A., Logan's Run, Freaky Friday, The Spy Who Loved Me, Saturday Night Fever, The Rescuers, Caddyshack and Used Cars. All at the AMC Puente Six Theaters in Puente Hills, Calif. What an enjoyable era that was. I've been looking for that "first" bumper (with the old movie stars shown) for a couple of years now. Thank you sooooooo very much RetroMan. Extremely impressive for tracking all this down. :))))
Here's some more info about these. 0:27 started the "There Is A Difference" campaign, which they touted was the first chain to introduce a customer service program. A lot of theaters back then had pretty terrible service standards, sticky floors, rude employees, bad sound, scratched prints, etc. AMC overhauled their entire approach. This piece was filed in Kansas City at their then flagship theatre in Oak Park. There is one missing and I'll link it here and it came right after this: ua-cam.com/video/UBp8jykNQl8/v-deo.html 1:04 was the beginning of digital animation in the 90's and it was used for a couple years I remember. This sounded great in Dolby and we always played the trailers in mono and kicked over to stereo with the Feature Presentation trailer. A metal band was placed at the beginning of the trailer and the projector read it to advance the sound into stereo. This is why sometimes the first few seconds of the bumper would sound low and BOOM it would kick into stereo. The projectionist would place the band at the wrong spot. This bumper was the last one before "Clip" was introduced. And you see him introduced at 1:30.
Started going to our local AMC back in ‘82, started working there in ‘90, and closed that theatre down in ‘07. An integral part of my life and I remember bumpers older than these. Long live Clip!
Just so everyone knows, bankruptcy doesn't mean the end of a company. What it means is they're temporarily pushing aside their debts in order to pay them off, and in the process they can't have the companies or banks they owe close any of their theaters. It's just a way to reorganize themselves and their theaters. Companies file for bankruptcies all the time.
Seeing that one makes me tear up a little. First, it's got all the feels and second, I remember seeing it in 1998 and it takes me back to that year always
What was the theme song/bumper music that began feature presentations for a competing theater chain back in the late 70's? It went something like, "dah dah dah tee dah ta dah dah (high hat high hat high hat).....and the graphics looked like a strip of film moving around to turn into the shape of a projector? I know it's a long shot, but I worked as an usher for a summer at one of their theaters in Tampa!
The first movie I saw at AMC was Supercross when I was 12 back in 2005. I'll be 26 two months from now. So I saw intro #8 first. My top movie theater chains are AMC, Regal and Cinemark. I get rewards at all three
I love the movies at AMC Theaters! I always goes to AMC because since the late 2000s I enjoyed every single minute of it, either in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, Prime, RealD 3D, BigD or D-Box. And I couldn't find any other mover theatres better than AMC. That is why AMC is my #1 choice for and to go to the movies. And I hope AMC is your #1 choice too.
AMC Is a Movie chain Cinema Theatres In America and the world It was Founded in 1920 also known as American Multi Cinemas (Not be confused with the TV channel AMC Network which is The home of The Walking Dead)
Man, I feel like I just saw that 1996-2002 one as recently as yesterday, but it's probably just because that's about the time my grandpa took me to the movies nearly once a week.
I remember the 5:15 one when I saw the Hunger Games and Divergent in theaters, missed The Reds 2 after that since I wasn't a common movie goer back then. Now I go almost every week since I have A-list. Can't say no to three free movies a week for only $21.95 a month on ANY screen. Pretty sweet deal I must say. Saw The Line of Magic too many times. Even better when you go to the AMC Empire 25 in Time Square because one normal screen movie there is almost $20. NYC is not cheap even for movies.
I can't wait for 5:15 and beyond to be part of my dollar movie down the street (I live in North Carolina, and there are still more Carmike theaters than AMC theaters)
AMC is the acronym of American Multi-Cinema. I went to one a few years ago in Houston to see Chicken Run because they are sold out of tickets for "Pokemon the Movie 2000" but I got a free mysterious Pokemon card from the film that was shown before I got there.
Not just cards, but also a QR code that has Ash Hat Pikachu for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, It's surprising that these will be handed out _before_ Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon comes out
Wasn’t there one where it was people arriving at a red carpet premiere? Late ‘90s-early 2000s? That’s the first one I remember paying attention to but I don’t see it here.

That is an cool and interesting one for me since I’m a gen Z baby, takes you right into the experience of being in the a movie theater in the 80s 😂

And I was so totally surprised too.
Am I the only one that thinks AMC’s logo is kinda timeless? It looked good back in the day and it still looks good now.
I miss the old days of film in movie theaters that snapped, crackled and popped and had scratches on every frame.
I nowadays prefer more digital projectors
Dang I never thought a movie could be described like rice krispies

3:01 is the most memorable for us 80s/90s kid for sure
Seeing that one makes me tear up a little. First, it's got all the feels and second, I remember seeing it in 1998 and it takes me back to that year always
Before I was born, my mother saw the late 1990s feature presentation bumper before watching Titanic
Oh that 1996 one
I don’t remember any of these and growing up we frequented an AMC theater near us.
4:42 Dude I can't believe I forgot about this, I saw this a million times back in the day
I like the red circles
Awesome! I wish the rest of them were in HD like the first one was.
It's movie time, America!
My childhood has been restored
I remember these from when our local theatres were AMC. They ended up being sold Cinemark in the late 90's.
No way!
what even is this comment section 😂 anyway, nice collection here. I cant believe they've been using the same logo for so long. Its truly timeless.
Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been to an AMC theater. Always Regal.
You should give AMC a try.
