Amazingly a lot of those movies listed resonate for gen-x, in our youth those were on UHF channels late at night.<p>So if you were up late or couldn&#x27;t sleep for whatever reason during the summer break, you&#x27;d turn on the old TV you inherited from the parents. plug in headphones so as to not wake the rest of the family, adjust the antenna a little, and watch mutiny on the bounty at 11pm or a charlie chan movie at 2am.  The other-worldliness of the experience was enhanced by sleep deprivation.  Of course a decade or so later youthful experiments in chemical enhancement made the same middle of the night movies even weirder.
