What's your favorite late night movie?
You know, the one you put in the dvd/vcr late on a Saturday night when you're half in the bag and all alone.

5. Usually it's Bollywood dance DVDs.
As far as movies, though, Casablanca.

9. Fatal Attraction.
Especially because as an older person, I, uh, get what was wrong with both of those people so much more than I did when I first saw that movie at age thirteen.

12. Night of the Comet- silliest zombie movie ever!!
Best line- "Daddy would have got us Uzi's" Two bimbos shoot up a car with submachine guns for target practice; older bimbo pouts when her Mac-10 jams.

16. Suburbia, not the mainstream one, but the punk one.
Also, as much as I hate to admit it, LifetimeMovieNetwork shows a lot of good movies. There, I said it. I used to pick on my aunt for getting all tied up watching that channel. I would tell her they were sappy, unreal, melodramas. One night, I had nothing else and found myself all wrapped up in one of those. I kept screaming at the woman to kill the bastard that was beating the ever loving daylights out of her. It's been downhill ever since.

19. AAUGH! "Suburbia"!!
Worst. Acting. Ever.

The characters' delivery makes Kurt Cobain's patter seem sickly cheerful by comparison.

Still, it's a fun movie.

22. So true.
It's definitely in the "B grade" category, if that's even the worst category, but still a "classic" to me.
