We get this question alot – thought we’d start a thread on it. Where are you located? Who is your cable provider and do you get AMC in HD?

Abington, PA – Verizon Fios – AMC HD

My wife is a huge fan of your old movies and is always watching, one of her favorites was a movie called “Cash McCall” starring James Garner and Natalie Wood. If possible could you show it sometime .
Thanks

The fascination with wild animals is one of the reasons that the whole family loves to watch the channel Animal Planet. So many shows teach about animals all over the world that it is hard to pick just one show as a favorite. The package our family chose had the Animal Planet channel in it and the kids truly enjoy watching it on the Direct TV. It is not just about the large animals that most people would think of like elephants, giraffes and buffalo. It goes into ants, tiny creatures that you do not see and fascinating facts about certain species. One show that does come to mind is the top ten of a certain category. It could be the top ten ugliest, the top ten carpenters, or any other category. That is always interesting, because there are so many animals that we have never seen, nevertheless thought that a specific certain animal would be that interesting to learn about.

The parents enjoy it just as much as the kids do and do not have to worry about kids seeing anything bad on television either. If you have not seen it yet, take a second to look at the programming. It is a wonderful learning show for all ages and about something that most kids enjoy, animals.

I am sick and tired of going into Christmas where you show no movies about Christmas … no, I am not a religious right-winger. I want the classic movies about Christmas with goodness, values, and wholesome fun. Instead at 7:30 PM I get crap I would not let my kids watch. You should be ashamed.

You do a dis-service to your audience that watches you on a regular basis.

Get real and get the season!

Dear sir;
Why are you just putting only one Movie on all day and night Christmas Day ?
Wouldn’t it be better to put a few different movies on example: white Christmas,its a wonderful life,the organial Miricle on 34th street,and Holiday in on instead of just Scrugged on all day? or is it that the Programmers are just Too lazy to put more than one Movie?
from a viewer that is tired of watching the same thing over & over,

As a culture, we have evolved greatly in aspects of racism that were common in the early days of movies.  That is wonderful, but AMC is censoring movies on that basis, and that is NOT wonderful.  I saw a recent showing of Holiday Inn (1942) with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire.  One of the numbers, “Abraham”, done for Lincoln’s birthday at the Inn, was completely deleted.  Yes, it was done in blackface, like a minstrel show.  No one would dream of doing such a number today.  But movies are part of our history, and changing them to be politically correct is a dangerous step toward trying to correct all of history.  This IS our history, and trying to pretend it never happened is just as wrong as saying it was OK in the first place.  There is no racism or lack of concern in saying that history is what it is, and to try to blot it out will have disastrous consequences for books, movies, and ultimately the intelligence of our people as a whole.  Shame on AMC for believing that we are too stupid to know right from wrong, and too stupid to understand that there were other times and ways which, although we may not agree with them now, are a part of our history.
