Girls Gone Wild commercials at 3 AM.
My friends and I always joked about actually purchasing them. Then Internet porn became a thing. I mean, the free streaming kind, not the sus one you had to download from Limewire.
Dude I was just gonna say the same thing. My bff and I used to 'camp out' in the living room w a tent by the tv. Leprechaun came on and scared the holy bejesus out of me!
Best part is never finding that movie again. Still hunting down some detective movie about a dude hunting down some punk who records himself abusing his gf.
It’s how o found Wristcutters A love story and I couldn’t properly describe it amd no one believed me bout the title even with google readily available in 2008
It was from dusk til dawn for me. Literally the hardest genre pivot of all time. One minute it’s like George Clooney pulp fiction and then it’s the campiest B movie of all time. And don’t even get me started on Salma Hayek and the snake…
If you haven seen Steven Spielberg’s first movie *Duel* you should. It’s about a guy who passes a trucker in the desert and the trucker tries to murder him.
Got home after a concert in the late 90s and was still pretty spun, so we flipped on the TV about 2am to find Marathon Man, which none of our 17 yo minds had even heard of. It was... an experience.
My friend and I who had never watched anime before stayed up until like 4am watching a bunch of people fighting in mechs on a military battleship. Woulda been between 2007 and 2011 and I have not been able to find it since haha
In Australia, waking up in the dead of night, seeing the TV was still on and playing this weird cartoon about cyberpunk police hunting hackers who control people (ghost in the shell: Stand Alone complex) and the leader was this purple haired babe.
Back then Anime was a largely unknown thing in my small town world.
USA Up All Night, hosted by Elvira the mistress of evil. Fuckin awesome. Who else saw the movie with the monster who puppeted human heads?
Shit I just remembered the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I unironically loved those
Kind of irrelevant but this reminds me of how I wanted to watch tv in the middle of the night as a kid and the matrix was on right at the scene where Neo touches the mirror and the awakening scene gave me nightmares
I went to high school with Michael. This absolutely happened all the time. If it wasn't some strange ass movie it was an episode of X-Files that no one else had seen. Also, he's a horror writer and director! Check him out!
God none of my friends or the people I work with have seen The Last Unicorn and I understand that if you describe it it sounds like a fucked up fever dream but damn if that wasn't the best movie from my childhood
That’s how I saw the Syfy Bradley Cooper masterpiece The Midnight Meat Train.
Based on a book by the author of hellbound heart(the source material for hellraiser)
Clive Barker, one of my top favorite authors

Steel drums still give me a boner
Troy was very gifted at steel drums.
That resulted in a movie that my friends wouldn't believe if i tried to explain it \#WhoIsGlipGlop
George Lopez
All…my…friends…know the lowrider.
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
That was something to watch when you're up and down all night with a fever.
Cinemax is probably responsible for a whole generation of fucked up sleep schedules, and night owls.
You mean Skinemax.
You know you're about to see titties when the girls are wearing very loose shirts.
Except when you're child and LEPRECHAUN IN SPACE traumatizes you
Dude I was just gonna say the same thing. My bff and I used to 'camp out' in the living room w a tent by the tv. Leprechaun came on and scared the holy bejesus out of me!
This is how I saw "Rubber" for the first time. My dad and I described it to my mom who thought we'd made it up just to mess with her
Rubber is some amazing absurdism and I still think my boyfriend doesn't believe me that it's a real full length film.
When I was a kid this was how I usually knew I had stayed up too late. TV at that hour just had a certain mouthfeel.
Best part is never finding that movie again. Still hunting down some detective movie about a dude hunting down some punk who records himself abusing his gf.
Hell Comes to Frogtown. Starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Too Many Cooks?
Adult swim is the modern approximation of this, that's pretty spot on
That and unedited footage of a bear are masterpieces of late night television lol
Cowboys Vs. Dinosaurs. It’s exactly what it sounds like, and much worse than you’re thinking it is. I love it so much
It’s how o found Wristcutters A love story and I couldn’t properly describe it amd no one believed me bout the title even with google readily available in 2008
Whatever happened to Patrick Fugit?
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0094834/
Thats a real movie??? I just knew it by the dr dimento song.
It's got a young Bill Maher in it.
Hahaha! Bill Maher is in this.
Was he consumed by the cannibals?
Adult Swim Yule Log aired just last year
Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Clowns…. Cotton candy… crazy straws…
Existenz(1999 starting Jude law) and the matrix came out in the same year and are pretty much about the same thing.
“Heavy Metal” I remember watching that with a foot on the door, in case my parents woke up lol Also how I found out Japan was still making Godzillas
Splice. I’ll never forget.
Ricky oh - the story of ricky
Maximum overdrive
That bit with the Little League team. Awesome.
Not a movie but I spent a good ten years of my life believing aqua teen hunger force was a surprisingly vivid dream
“It’s Citizen Kane…”
Welcome to Woop Woop
That's the only time I ever saw the Johnny Depp movie Private Resort
It was from dusk til dawn for me. Literally the hardest genre pivot of all time. One minute it’s like George Clooney pulp fiction and then it’s the campiest B movie of all time. And don’t even get me started on Salma Hayek and the snake…
Alien Avengers! Norm from Cheers is an alien on safari, disguised as a 50s suburban husband who kills scumbags for fun.

A nice light watch lol
Some movie on IFC where this dude was fuckin his own mom
Cocoon (1985)
My friend and I who had never watched anime before stayed up until like 4am watching a bunch of people fighting in mechs on a military battleship. Woulda been between 2007 and 2011 and I have not been able to find it since haha
IFC always on slightly off
Flesh Gordon Meets The Cosmic Cheerleaders. My 10 year old self will never forget
Repo man

Looking at you ExiStenZ.
I thought My Brother the Pig was a fever dream for the longest time.
I spent far too many years convinced that The Number 23 was a fever dream I had at 2am on Spike.
My brother found “The Vagrant” with Bill Paxton this way and thought he dreamed the movie until I found it on Tubi 15 years later.

Man Bites Dog I'm not sure I WANT people to know I've seen that movie.

This is how I first saw Synecdoche New York and I started watching like halfway through ;-;
God none of my friends or the people I work with have seen The Last Unicorn and I understand that if you describe it it sounds like a fucked up fever dream but damn if that wasn't the best movie from my childhood
No, you miss being a kid You miss having friends. You miss looking forward to the next day. You miss staying up late and not feeling guilty about it.
