AMC Theatres: Feature Presentation Bumpers (1980-) 

I remember that film stick figure, i completely forgot it existed til now

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.

4:42 was my childhood right there.

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.

2:28-4:37 The nostalgia!! Remembering my childhood going to the theaters in the ‘90s. Good times. Good times.

Worked at AMC for 15 years , best job ever ! Brings back such good memories

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 :^)

I worked for AMC from 1986-1991. These brought back some great memories! Thanks!

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.

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!

I've been going to AMC Theaters all of my life, over 40 years and I'm still going to AMC Theaters.

The third one, from 1990, reminds me so much of the graphic designs for the Cinemax movie openings.

Congratulations, AMC Theatres! 100th anniversary. 100 years of movie magic. 1920-2020.

The background music for the first AMC Feature Presentation reminds me of the music from Veggietales: Josh And The Big Wall.

100th anniversary of AMC Theatres is coming soon! The AMC Theatres was founded in 1920 as American Multi-Cinema.

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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UBp8jykNQl8.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.

I miss going to the movies. Until AMC Theatres reopens, stay safe, stay healthy. 😔😊😎

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'll never forget the amc film Mascotte from my early childhood

4:08 during my time at AMC.

the best one was honestly the 2002 to 2009 one

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. :))))

Batman 1989. So much memories seeing that amc intro between 86-90

I cannot lie, some of these memories brought a tear to my eye.

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.

Here's our mascot Stick figure made of garbage we found on the editing room floor

My god the logo still looks new. Like it was made in the 2010s

I miss the film reel mascot. There was just this charm about it that these round dots don't hold up.

I've been going to AMC Theaters all my life and I still love going to AMC Theaters.

It's movie time, America!

1:05 who ever finds this 35mm of this logo will be congratulated

Thank you so so so much for uploading this. Trying to find the 2014- feature presentation for such a long time now

I don’t remember any of these and growing up we frequented an AMC theater near us.

Before I was born, my mother saw the late 1990s feature presentation bumper before watching Titanic

I LIKE THIS STONK

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!

I like the red circles

I really missed field strip guy. ☹️

AMC < General Cinema

Thank you AMC Theaters well (,stay safe and stay healthy,) :) 😍😇😷🙂 beware of COVID-19! AMC Theaters

My childhood has been restored

Awesome! I wish the rest of them were in HD like the first one was.

2002-09 brings back a lot of memories of me going to quail springs mall in Oklahoma and going to the AMC there every weekend!

I think I remember the fourth one in front of The Lion King! Thanks so much for compiling these! God bless

And Now, Our Feature Presentation

I remember those people shaped just like the red spheres.

I remember these from when our local theatres were AMC. They ended up being sold Cinemark in the late 90's.

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.

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

(3:07) Let's all go to the movies!

Amc theatres popcorn stack up for bedtime

Wowsers!!!

0:00: I Remember my 35mm copy of the snorks having this logo before the 1972 warner bros logo

I miss the mascot so much

Man, you should update this with the 2017-present day AMC Theatres Feature Presentation bumper.

Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been to an AMC theater. Always Regal.

You may want to update policy trailer, feature presentation, and coming attractions bumpers. It changed last year.

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 love amc theater so much the movies in my life of having a free popcorn and Coca Cola forever

I remember these!

4:40 MY CHILDHOOD!!!

Saw the 2002-2009 bumper before Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa started.

My grandaughter saw before "The Rescuers Down Under" in 1990.

The one at 4:06 is my childhood

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.

3:01 is the most memorable for us 80s/90s kid for sure

thank you so much for this ithank you

3:02 clip the amc mascot has taken a year off to help AFI celebrate 100 years

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.

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)

AMC Theaters Our Feature Presentation Logo

Wow this is Great! Going to shares some of these with Apes on Twitter! $AMC to da moon!!! 🦍💎🙌🚀🌕

Saw the 1996-2002 bumper before Inspector Gadget started.

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.

"I saw Hotel Translvania 3: Summer vacation at AMC (IMAX) in mesa.

4:09 🤧

Saw the 2009-2013 bumper before Arthur Christmas started.

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)

In 1990, my mom saw Jetsons the Movie.

0:00 - 0:25 amazing!!!

I missed the old AMC movie.

I remember 2002-2009.

4:50 memories

The film stick figure was always my favorite. I was mad when they changed it.

1:04 is my favorite

1:05-1:54 my teenage years

$AMC

i remember the "there is a difference" series! amc is a coca-sellout now!

I remember some of these “Feature Presentation” openings, 🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍 and I miss seeing them.

Aaron Saw Lethal Weapon 4 at age 27 in 1998

Pieter Moes 1 second ago I am trying to find the pre-feature clip where various type candy bars were marching in long lines over the screen. Any body knows where that is?

any bumpers from before the 1980 amc logo?

I was at a AMC theater way back in 2001 with my mom while in Houston, about to go see The Princess Diaries (a G-Rated movie that is literally for cute girls), enjoying my best selling Coca-Cola while sitting next to my mom, ackin' so girl cray-cray (girl crazy) which the 1996-2002 AMC feature presentation bumper appears, followed by the 1990 Walt Disney Pictures logo "Coca-Cola" is a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company. ©2001 AMC Theaters, Inc. Characters: ©2001 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

Grew up with that one at 4:52

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.

Everything changes over the years.

I feel like AMC has become the coke sellout theatre at this point.
