HBO and Showtime Movie Intros From The 1980s

I made this with two of the HBO In Space intros with the Dad turning on the TV and with the smoke intro as well and a couple of Showtime Intros too.

Back in the 80s Everytime I heard the HBO theme playing, anywhere in the house, it was like NOS injection in me and I came flying to the living room to see what movie was about come on. Man, those were some exciting and fun times! I miss those days.

Omg you nailed it!

[@nalvarado1384]

Without question, HBO had the best opening with that logo in space. It was EPIC!!!

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

Friends on my Facebook were talking about old openings. So now I find myself looking at all of these.

HBO Please go back to these promos AWESOME

[@laurabrew8802]

HBO did a "making of" special about how they built the little HBO City and had the camera pan over it to create that opening. I was obsessed with it. That was when I fell in love with miniatures. Thanks for posting this!

[@iluvwhtchix]

That HBO had me pumped for something good to see that night!

[@renwickwebster4491]

The classic HBO introduction music. Ahhhhh....the memories!!!

[@lauraartis5452]

A little big of the music from the Back to the Future movie at the beginning, too.

[@bulbman7080]

As a kid, the HBO bumper always captured me!

The good days for HBO

[@jessyleppert2]

And Showtime

[@jasvirdi17]

Intro followed by “ the following movie is rated R for…” you knew it was a great movie

[@mrabundance]

HBO was the best 👌

[@CartoonPhreak]

The big four of cable - HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and Disney Channel The big four of streaming - HBO Max, Paramount+, Amazon Prime and Disney+

[@curtyeomans8446]

Cinemax = Skinemax (as most people called it)

[@CartoonPhreak]

@@curtyeomans8446 Correct Disney Channel = America’s Family Network

[@rsquintana1]

I remember when all we had was HBO and showtime. It was the best time . Now, we have hundreds of channels and pure garbage!

Disco party!.. disco pants...

[@nicholasbullock1709]

Sounds like Showtime stole...sorry, borrowed some of their riffs from Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up (1985)

[@fastjeff6]

I heard I'm so Excited from Hot Shots Part Deux... I mean, The Pointer Sisters

[@lauraartis5452]

It sounds like some of the rifts from I'm So Excited by The Pointer Sisters too.

[@Mike-xz4tc]
