Excellent video for TMC's feature presentation!!!!!!!!!!!

[Simon5005]

TMC used to be hosted by Robert Osborne, that now hosts Turner Classic Movies.

I loved this one the best out all of the mid-late 80's openings. Though the short HBO "movie" opening has a special place in my heart. Shouts out to MetroVision ( doesn't exist anymore) in P.G. County MD!!!

TMC's still The Heart Of Hollywood for 30 years come this December. I wonder what The Movie Channel's planned for their thirtieth anniversary party?

[RetroBoyWontDie]

@PDS1990 no shock they did nothing. TMC has been Showtime Net's red-headed stepchild for 25 years. If one channel could've had a "reunion," it would be TMC; get Osborne, Briggs, Michele Russell, Ian Shoales all back; run the old themes and promos (there's been enough of them). But that's what YT is for.

What was the Paramount movie out of curiosity? :)

[MSTS1]

I think it was "Uncommon Valor", Gene Hackman.

[Punkghost21]

analog PPV?

[MSTS1]

Actually, not PPV; just an extra-cost cable movie channel.

I don't know whatever became of them, but we used to watch it starting in '78 when it was called "Star-Channel", and ran two movies twice a day.
