Retro Replay #8: American Movie Classics (promos from the 1980s)

Back before Turner Classic Movies, this was the go-to channel for uncut, commercial free, old-school Hollywood gems, hosted by Bob Dorian and Nick Clooney (George's father). Nowadays, AMC has become unrecognizable.

Oops! The Star Trek clip is from March of '69. (I'll try to do better!) To see the corrected video, here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/Nz5gG9c499A/v-deo.html I have also added a short Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea clip to the new video. PS: At the 12:30 mark you'll see a commercial with Lauren Hutton (and a brief shot of Alex Rocco) but at the end of the ad it looks like a different actress. ...

Re-posted with corrections. Many aborted attempts to get this through the copyright cops. This version is shorter than originally intended because I had to drop two songs. But I think the end result is OK.

    The horrible typewriters that employees used back then, the ergonomics were terrible with the hand and wrist positions while typing for long periods of time. She should be more concerned about getting a repetitive motion injury/RMI like carpal tunnel syndrome than being asked out for lunch by her supervisor. 5:35

    Brings me back when I was a kid. Ha. Fun times. I even had the 6 million dollar man. With his engine block he lifted and the eye you looked through. My mom bought it from Kmart. 😊 remembered all those TV ads. Remember your parents saying. Don't sit too close to the TV you might go blind. Ha, and you were the human TV remote.

    it’s funny all these years later and “1976” still means “the bicentennial summer” in my head lol… the movie “Dazed and Confused” kind of captured the spirit of that summer for teens who were. older than me

  • @bucksdiaryfan
    @bucksdiaryfan 6 годин тому

    The great thing about the bicentennial is it was both a national celebration and a huge local celebration with town parades… almost like Xmas in July with summer fun replacing gift giving… if I recall the hype started in 1975 with all kinds of commercials, planning ahead, etc… It was a fabulous summer and I was only 5

    You forget how expensive decent electronics we’re back in the day. You can buy a very nice smartphone TODAY for the same price they wanted for a CB in 1976! That was why in the 80s ud have to build ur stereo system piece by piece because the whole system cost a fortune

    This started out talking about the Edmund Fitzgerald sinking with a load of Iron ore and a couple minutes later showing a car and driver mag talking about Detroit's dilemma... ironically the iron ore the Fitz was carrying would most likely end up in Detroit manufacturing a car.

    Perhaps the best summer of my life. Junior high just ended and I was about to enter high school in the fall. Had my first official shave (mostly peach fuzz:). Hanging out with my two childhood buddies listening to great music, lifting weights, talking about girls and seeing some great movies! Exciting times! Thanks!😄

    My father smoked two packs of True Blues a day. Used to crack open the the little window in front of the door on flick his ashes out on car trips, with my brother and me sitting in the backseat taking ashes to the face!😂 True Blue ended up being my first cigarette at 14. Soon I was sneaking a couple cigs a day from his pack. A few years later I switched to cowboy killers and developed my own two pack a day habit. Fortunately I quit after about 12 years. Amazing we used to smoke at the office, on planes, in restaurants, in stores, etc. What a different world.
