Filmography

I added the filmography (which is not anywhere near a complete list) because there a number of posts on various websites of people asking for an "Up All Night" list of films...I am still researching to make this a complete list so any help is greatly appreciated!

Was "Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000" ever shown? It's just a hazy memory. I thought there was a women with huge hair in it, but upon further investigation that character is from Nuke Em High 2. But still the title seems so familiar to me. (Corby 11:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

It looks like it was made in 1994 so it is possible that it was shown. I vaguely remember the movie...actually I remember some really cheesy movie about virgins with Morgan Fairchild in it and this HAS to be the one I am remembering. I am still researching to see if it showed on Up All Night, although it seems very likely that it did. SkaTroma 17:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Test tube teens from the year 2000 was indeed shown on USA up all night. It was one of the first movies I saw on there, and one of my favorites. Sara Suzanne Brown, rowr.

TYhe biggest improvement this page needs is the elimination of at least 20 films that never appeared on USA Up All Nite. I've tried to change this but some jerk keeps putting them back. I think people are get this programmed confused with TBS Niteflix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.104.138.132 (talk) 17:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific so the changes can be implemented and the article can actually be improved? Random insults are great but they don't actually help fix what's wrong. Pinkadelica ^♣ 05:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Movie Question

There was a movie I know was on USA Up All Night, but I do not know the name of. All I remember is it had these two beefy ass trucker dudes. I mean like super muscular, and they were helping some woman or something. I don't remember much of anything about the story other than these two buff dudes. If you've seen it, you would remember them.

Are you thinking of the movie "Think Big" with those gigantic twin brothers? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100772/ I'm not sure if it was on Up All Night but it was definitely on USA Network alot. SkaTroma 08:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elvira

wasn't Elvira a host on usa up all night? i remeber her hosting a show before Gilbert Godfried.

I'm pretty sure she did not host Up All Night...she did host a nationally syndicated show but I think it was called Mistress of the Dark or something like that, it was like the old creature feature shows. SkaTroma 05:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Bernhard

Sandra Bernhard definately hosted up all night, in the early 90's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.109.248.114 (talk) 03:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Was she a regular host or a guest host?SkaTroma 23:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually she hosted another USA show called Reel Wild Cinema. I believe it came on after USA cancelled USA Up All Night.Kingphenom007 10:17,1 March 2007 (UTC)

Film Links

Alot of the links for these films are going to wiki pages that aren't about the film. I'll start going through them and cleaning them up in the next few days...if anyone else is feeling froggy, by all means! SkaTroma 04:11, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is also a fine example of a list filled with potential links that should exist but don't. Just now I've spotted several missed opportunities, and I in time may go through creating links where appropriate, but don't wait for me to do it! Help yourself! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.87.190 (talk) 00:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's also a good example of a list that's complete unsourced; unless someone can find a published source to attest that those films were shown on the network, it should really be taken out. The impression I get from looking at the history is that this is basically the personal project of User:Drmuttonchops, who will lose interest once he goes to university; perhaps someone could wait until then before removing the list. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 23:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Ashley, if you want me to source these movies, I can! I also do not like your derisive tone in referring to this as my "personal project"! I am doing this for a friend who was a really big fan of "Up All Night" and he recalls seeing these films air on the program. Also, I'm already done with school. -User:Drmuttonchops 20:46, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree with Ashley Pomeroy - in fact, I came very close to removing the list some time ago but really didn't see the harm in it until the recent addition of loads of film titles that were supposedly shown on the show. Further, someone "recalling" seeing these films wouldn't be considered a reliable source and couldn't be used to support the inclusion of a lot of these titles. We can't cite someone's memory. Unless there is a reliable source forthcoming in the next week or so, I support removing the entire list and have no problem with doing it myself. Pinkadelica ^♣ 02:53, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can say that a majority of these films were never shown on USA UP All Nite. A lot on the list were shown on TBS and TNT rather than USa. a couple I believe dont even exist. I used to enjoy this page but it's become a pain just to look at as of late. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingphenom007 (talk • contribs) 02:02, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the list because I also suspect quite a few of the films listed were not shown on the program. Pinkadelica ^♣ 02:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch!

List was painful to read. I didn't see if Kickboxer 3 and Best of the Best 2 listed. Maybe, maybe not. Highlander II (bad version) was shown as well, but not Beastmaster 2, which was TBS/TNT's personal bad movie, I guess. I used to watch Up All Night as a teen. I loved it, I miss it. Sigh.

External link commentary

The IMDB and TV.com links are to legitimate, major sites providing additional information. The Caroline Schlitt link is legit because it provides info not available on Wikipedia, because no one has researched the proper references to create a WP Schlitt article.

But, I feel like the YouTube content, if even legal from a copyright perspective, should be moved to the commons and relinked. The webs.com link goes to a junk site that provides only rehashed info and photos from WP and the other sites. GaryGo (talk) 14:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
