How did I find this?

By Adam Milton Founder· July 23, 2026 · 10 items ·75 views

What we have lost with streaming are the random movies you find on weekend afternoons when you are getting ready to leave for a party, found by channel surfing, or on old VHS tapes, label faded or ripped, in your grandmother's home. This is a list of those movies that I really enjoy. List in no order.

One of the best films I have ever seen I found on a Saturday afternoon, in 2005. It was on FX and I was able to watch the most of it.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Why did my mother let me watch this. Multiple times.

Mannequin

My aunt was baby sitting me, on a Wednesday in the summer. I watched this on local TV. Still have strange memories of it.

Another movie I think I saw before I was in kindergarten.

Navy Seals

After being in the Navy and living in San Diego this movie is a lot funnier.

The Trigger Effect

I saw this, on a Saturday afternoon, before I had any idea of how to find the name of a movie. I remember my mother shedding light on how pharmacists work.

Howard the Duck

The first marvel film I ever saw.
