I remember when I was a little kid, I used to watch every movie that it was seen that it was broadcast on many of these stations. Guess what, I found it on tv-ark.org.uk in which they have opening introductions to show the movie in which the announcer says "Tonight on the 8 O'Clock Movie, Shirley Temple and Alice Faye in 'The Poor Little Rich Girl'" and then the movie starts. I found these intro off of this website. I was posting it last year about the movie "Harry Potter" that it was on ABC at the time and other showing broadcast movies in syndication. I found a collection of clips that I used to remember back when I was a kid. Here are the openings:

Movie 9 Opening (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_upn/wor-movie9.rm) - That brings back a lot of memories.
Million Dollar Movie (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_upn/wor-milliondollarm.rm) - I haven't seen it since I was a baby.
"9" All Night (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_upn/wwor_9allnight_1987.rm) - I remember the opening since I was a kid where it used to be the "Saturday Afternoon Movie", "Movie Special" or some other stuff. It has a nice opening too.
5 Movie (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_fox/wnew-movie80.rm)
Hollywood's Finest (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_fox/wnew-movie-finest.rm) One of my favorite openings.
The 8 O'Clock Movie (http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video_us_wb/wpix-8pmmovie.rm) - I remember that opening too. They covered the "Next" slide to show news.

That brings back memories as a child.:)
