a part of this Registration Statement:</font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company&rsquo;s Annual Report on Form 10&#8209;K for the fiscal year ended April&nbsp;3, 2003;</font></p>

<p><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Item 5.&nbsp; Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.</font></b></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kevin M. Connor, who has given an opinion to the Company opining as to the validity of the securities being issued pursuant to the
Plans, is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company and is eligible to participate in the Plan.&nbsp; Mr. Connor beneficially owns 1,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s Common Stock.</font></p>

<p><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Item 6.&nbsp; Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</font></b></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation has the power under specified circumstances to indemnify
its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against
expenses incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding. The Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation requires indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and provides that, in any
action by a claimant, the Company shall bear the burden of proof that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification.&nbsp; Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also allows a corporation to provide contractual indemnification to its directors, and the
Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors whereby the Company is contractually obligated to indemnify the director and advance expenses to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.</font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock), or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.&nbsp; The Company's restated and amended
certificate of incorporation contains the provisions permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the Company's and its stockholders' rights (through stockholders' derivative suits on
behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)&nbsp;through
(iv)&nbsp;above. The limitations described above, however, do not affect the ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek non-monetary based remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty nor would such
limitations limit liability under the federal securities laws.</font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section 1.3 of the 2003 AMC Entertainment Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan provides that service on the Compensation Committee constitutes
service as a member of the Board of Directors;&nbsp; accordingly, members of the Committee are entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any agreement between the Company and its
directors providing for indemnification.</font></p>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference and made
a part of this Registration Statement:
1.         The Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2003;
2.         The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended July 3, 2003 and October 2, 2003; and
3.         The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8‑A/A filed February 19,
2002, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
In addition to the foregoing documents, documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of these documents.  Any statement contained herein or in a document all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or amended, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Kevin M. Connor, who has given an opinion to the Company opining as to the validity of the securities being issued pursuant to the
Plans, is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company and is eligible to participate in the Plan.  Mr. Connor beneficially owns 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation has the power under specified circumstances to indemnify
its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against
expenses incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding. The Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation requires indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and provides that, in any
action by a claimant, the Company shall bear the burden of proof that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification.  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also allows a corporation to provide contractual indemnification to its directors, and the
Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors whereby the Company is contractually obligated to indemnify the director and advance expenses to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The Company's restated and amended
certificate of incorporation contains the provisions permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the Company's and its stockholders' rights (through stockholders' derivative suits on
behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through
(iv) above. The limitations described above, however, do not affect the ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek non-monetary based remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty nor would such
limitations limit liability under the federal securities laws.
Section 1.3 of the 2003 AMC Entertainment Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan provides that service on the Compensation Committee constitutes
service as a member of the Board of Directors;  accordingly, members of the Committee are entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any agreement between the Company and its
directors providing for indemnification.
Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

(i)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)           The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Kansas City, Missouri, on the 21st day of November, 2003.
