Imagine if AMC didn’t air commercials or edit their movies? This channel really is a joke when it comes to airing movies. And most of those debuting movies aren’t very good and are as far from “American Movie Classics” as they can get.
I agree, but I still love this time of year, and AMC is a sign that Halloween is here.
These films will edited within an inch of their.
Like The Exorcist.
