One of the top BBC shows of all time, Line of Duty gets an official pickup by AMC for a three-month, three-season run.

The Outsiders
AMC, 3pm
Catch a Classic!
Francis Ford Coppola directed this beloved 1983 coming-of-age drama based on S.E. Hinton’s novel. Not only is the film worth viewing for its compelling story and production, but also for its amazing cast of then-up-and-coming stars who would become household names — C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane and Emilio Estevez. The Outsiders also helped kick off the ’80s “Brat Pack” genre of movies, but we won’t hold that against it.

You’re Bacon Me Crazy
