Wow lol great memories! The only time I saw or heard this opening was on Fridays. My grandpa and I would grab a snack and watch the Late Movie. RIP Papa

My most vivid memory of the CBS Late Movie is watching Carrie in the early 1980s. I was starting to get sleepy during the final graveyard scene, which aired just after 1 am-and then that ending flew me right out of the recliner!

Even the music on the late night movie was good.

Watching Honeymooners right now...Norton & Ralph are fighting over the TV - watching the late late late show... remembered watching Blade Runner on CBS Late (on a Friday) also the west coast NBA games

Long before David Letterman, there was the CBS Late Movie.

WOW. Avco Embassy, that just screams low-budget late 70s/early 80s movies repeatedly shown on New York's big independent station movie umbrellas! I am guessing that in the waning days of the CBS Late Movie, CBS TV series were being shown more often?

The movies I remember the best on CBS Late Movie were "Gargoyles" "Stowaway To The Moon" "Night Of The Lepus" "Cat Creature" and some roller derby move called "Kansas City Bombers" with Raquel Welch (although I remember the horror movies much better).

You wouldn't happen to have any CBS Late Movie promos for "How Sweet It Is" with James Garner and Debbie Reynolds, or for "Don't Drink The Water" with Jackie Gleason, would you? Those were my two favorites!

Boy just seeing Avco embassys logo reminds me how old I really am.

Used to sneak downstairs, during the summer months, and watch both the Late and Late, Late Movies. Here, in the Detroit area, it was Channel 2, WJBK. I would always watch in the dark, with a blanket. Why? For when the News break would come on. It was just a background that changed from news to sports and to weather. The weather break used to scare the daylights out of me. Why? Because the sound of teletypes, combined the the picture of a bolt of lightning just terrified me. I would cover my head when it came on, and left it there till it was over. The best of times!!! I so miss them.

With all these awesome memories being relived youd think someone at the network would bring this back on the air

I suspect that in the age of streaming and 1000 cable channels they figure that no one will watch. Sadly they're probably right.

THIS is the CBS Late Night Television that i remember! it was Fall 1971,when "The CBS LATE MOVIE" made its debut,decades before David Letterman and Craig Ferguson turned all of that into serious shit! even back in the late 1970s and 1980s when CBS was officially airing reruns of both theirs,and other TV Networks' shows,and great Drive-In movie classics,two of the ones that i watched on "The CBS LATE MOVIE" in 1972,was "The Green Slime" and "The Lost Continent",and "House of Dark Shadows" in June 1976-so yes,,CBS dominated Late Nights,until they started airing rubbish like the Canadian made "NIGHT HEAT",around the very late 80s-early 90s,until David Letterman took over the late night airwaves in 1993,after defecting from NBC,where he should've stayed! as some of you had mentioned the Familiar theme music which CBS first started to use,which was also in Fall 1971,it was actually the same musical theme that CBS used in the late 1960s on "The CBS WEDNESDAY NIGHT MOVIES" and "CBS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIES",but on a slower tempo and orchestration! great TV memories,though!!

I want to make a ringtone out of the Avco-Embassy clip so I can freak people out!!

Used to like all the Hammer horror films on here.

Thanks for the memories

Avco - Embassy was always associated with GOOD movies!!!

I got to watch a lot of great movies in the 80s because of this…

Love that music

2:14 is very disturbing.

CBS LATE NIGHT CLASSICS : 1979 the year the showed RERUNS of Kolchak the Night stalker show at 11:30 on Fridays. Then .. a movie . And onec the movie was FROGS (1972). LOL. Also the GREAT "Night of the Lepus".

Tap, do you remember the Channel 2 Late Show opening with stars dancing from an open window into a TV? The background music was actually Hot Butter's ("Popcorn" fame) version of The Syncopated Clock. Does anyone remember it? I'm still wondering how on earth mom let me stay up so late...

Next Tuesday, a Triple Feature on The CBS Late Movie... - Fun And Laughs on Happy Days and Laverne And Shirley! - And Then Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh stars in Houdini!

Hilarious that WKRP was considered a Late Movie...

We now return to Starsky And Hutch starring David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser.

@wmbrown6 Ah but see, I wasn't around back then, I was born in '77 and all I remember is their lower-quality fare shown on 5, 9, and 11. ;)

@wmbrown6 Ok, but I would not be watching anything as *good* as that movie would be.... I was always drawn to the low budget "B" movies very often, which is why I LOVED the Drive In Movie on WNEW!!

Do you have the one which premiered the Monkees movie "Head"?

I hope y'all will reply to this RIP Donald Sutherland who played Sherlock Holmes in the first movie in this promo

@DanZero77 - Let's not forget, a few Avco Embassy movie packages were had by WNBC-TV in New York in the late 1960's and early '70's. (One of which included the now-classic "The Producers.")

As someone said earlier the "waning" days of the CBS Late Movie resorted to showing repeats of regular CBS shows that were very much NOT movies. It truly sucked for me as a kid when this became a thing. However...early to mid 70s the CBS Late Movie rocked! ...Hells Angels on Wheels, Kelly's Heroes, The Dirty Dozen, Fistful of Dollars, The California Kid, How the West was Won , Gargoyles, Night of the Lepus, Horror at 37000 feet every Elvis Presley movie...on and on. I saw so many films for the first time here.

Jack Klugman autopsying a horse, well I can see that the 1970's was the pinnacle of television programming.

@DanZero77 - The funny thing is, the package WNBC had that included "The Producers" had gone to WOR by 1978 or so. :-D

And all promos were voiced by Norm Stevens.
