AMC
Last week at the ‘Access Hollywood's…Stuff You Must Lounge’ celebrities were gifted with numerous new goodies but one of the most popular by far was the AMC Signature Pass for 1 Year of Free Movies for 2. Yep that means free movies all year long! This pass was so exclusive and craved, even I wish I could have figured out how to get one!

This is what a few of those lucky enough to receive the pass had to say!

-Cloris Leachman -- Dancing with the Stars: “Favorite thing of the day.”

-Kevin Sorbo – Hercules: Shared "I'm good friends with Brad Pitt. Since I have 3 kids I only get to see Disney films. I'm going to use this card to take my wife on a date to see Brad in ‘Benjamin Button’.”

-Stacy Kiebler -- Dancing with the Stars, and a former wrestler herself: Just saw ‘The Wrestler’ and was moved as she knew many of the characters well. She said she was thrilled with her new movie pass from AMC!

-Carrie Ann Inaba -- said the "AMC pass is the best gift of the suite, this really makes me feel like a celebrity!"

-Annalynne McCord – 90210: admitted that she saw IRONMAN 7 times at Century City. “Wow this could have saved me money! “

-Zac Levi – CHUCK: Already has a pass, and loves it. He admits he goes to the Burbank 16, by his house.

-Selena Gomez: “Wow- Oh wow! I’m from Dallas, TX. I love going to the movies!”

-Ross Matthews – (Ross the Intern): “OMG! I love the card. I use the card! It totally helped me because I am covering the golden globes for the Tonight Show. I’ve seen all of them! Slum Dog Millionaire, Doubt, Benjamin Button, Still need to see Revolutionary Road. I go to City Walk AMC.”

Well guys I wish I could help you get the pass yourself. But if you're looking to do a little celebrity spotting while in Los Angeles - just take a look around while you are sitting in that dark theater. You might be sitting next to one your favorite celebs. With more than 353 theaters and over 5000 screens nationwide I’d say your chances are looking pretty good.
