I hate all these tv series they're trying to make into the next WALKING DEAD or MAD MEN.

AMC was the best back then. I liked Bob Dorian. Okay, he was an actor, but I think that helped. He was urbane. There was a smoothness to his delivery that, with all due respects to TCM's recently departed Robert Osborne, Mr. Osborne just didn't have (I always felt a little embarrassed for him just watching him). AMC had the Fox and RKO libraries back in their early days and for a few years there you could watch, if you were so inclined, things like The Lost Patrol and Citizen Kane three times a day!  |

Brings back fond memories of when I had a working HUGE satellite dish and a la carte subscriptions to all of the "old movies only" channels.

AMC was great back then. My Dad and I watched a lot of movies on that channel when I was growing up. It's what helped inspire me to enjoy classic films to this day.

I enjoyed Nick Clooney (father of George) when he hosted AMC, too.  |

(And, brother of Rosemary) I, too, enjoyed his intros.
AMC made it convenient for most people to see the "featured" stars/movies of the month, by presenting individual films several times ... and in varying day parts.
They also often showed films in both "standard," and "letterbox" formats. Sometimes, they ran them back-to-back. It was interesting to note the differences ... on the whole, I preferred the "letterbox," versions.

AMC ,at end of their run as The go to movie place did a wonderful documentary on the USO and the contributions of movie stars. There were great I interviews with Frances Langford, Esther Williams and many others about their experiences touring and visiting hospitals. Their were great clips from films that referenced service and WWII life, like the sweater, the sarong and the peekaboo bang. It was a great program and I wish they would release some of their specials
I really enjoyed the mini series on Hollywood starring Michael York.

I remember looking forward to Saturday noontime when the Tarzan movies aired weekly. Seems like it was just yesterday!
