NIGHT FLIGHT - U.S.A. cable show

     One of the few TV shows that I miss is NIGHT FLIGHT. This show use to play late night on the U.S.A. cable network back in the 80's.
     This was a 4 hour show that featured a weird mix of  old strange movies, short films, cartoons, film clips, music videos and all sort of odd movies in one place. Now you have to search thur You Tube to found such a mix of odd footage.
     Among the films I saw for the first time on NIGHT FLIGHT was REEFER MADNESS, COCAINE FIENDS, DAMAGE LIVES, SEX MADNESS and I  WAS A ZOMBIE FOR THE F.B.I.
     They also ran moves like J-MEN FOREVER, ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN and ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA.
     This was a great show for fans of odd and strange films as well as music video fans.
     The show had many fans who missed it when it went off the air and since then there has been various collections of of clips from the show on homemade DVDs. These underground collections are made up of home video tape clips of the show from various sources. Some collections run as long as one hundred hours of film clips.
