Description: This list is my top 10. Anything after 10 gets honorable mention because growing up they played every weekend on WPIX Channel 11 (before WB/CW/UPN9 existed this channel played weird stuff Friday night and movies all day Sunday but they had a tiny library so you watched these movies at least 2xs a month!)
