TOP 100 MIDNIGHT MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Some types of movies can be enjoyed at any time of the day,
such as: dramas, comedy and porn, but some movies are just better when it's late.
Did ever try watching a thriller or sci-fi movie during the day? It not quite the same. This is a list of the top movies that are most enjoyed when watched
way after the sun goes down, and you can't sleep for one reason or another.

NOTE: Most other websites refer to cult films like "Pink Flamingos" and "Eraserhead"
as MIDNIGHT MOVIES, But Rank-O-Vision calls those types of movies CULT FILMS or CRAP.

100. THE WALL
There is only one reason to watch this one, and it's the same reason you can't sleep.

Night time is the right time for Buford Pusser.
98. SOUTHERN COMFORT
You might be a redneck if try to kill Powers Booth in the middle of the woods.

Turn off your brain and watch Robocop kill a bunch of bad guys, get pulled apart, turned into a dork, electrocuted and kick the bad Robocop's ass.
95. FARGO
The heck ya' say.
94. SCARFACE
This is a great movie. It's a good midnight movie too, but you better be able to stay awake for a good while.
93. DRESSED TO KILL
Did anybody tell Michael Caine he shouldn't wear that after Labor Day.
92. THE DEER HUNTER
Any movie with Russian Roulette or Christopher Walken in it is automatically a midnight movie.
91. RUNAWAY
Magnum P.I. versus Gene Simmons from Kiss, and some nifty spider robots.
90. DUEL
Need some ideas on how to have fun with a semi?
89. FIRST BLOOD
This movie may seem a little corny now, but you can't tell me you didn't want a knife like Rambo's.
88. TRAINSPOTTING
A good drug prevention movie.
87. OUTLAND
Sean Connery is a futuristic security guard on a space station, and bad things start to happen.
86. PSYCHO
I know it's old, but watch it with lights out and sit three feet away from the TV. Check out Norman's eyes when he pulls back the shower curtain.
85. DRAGONSLAYER
Hey! Isn't that The Biscuit from Ally McBeal?
84. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
It's more fun to watch than 2001: A Space Odyssey.
83. THEY LIVE
Rowdy Roddy Piper stars in this John Carpenter classic. I guess Kirt Russell was busy.
82. ROCK & RULE
If you're over 30, you don't like Japanese cartoons and you've seen Heavy Metal a bunch of times. Then check out this animated feature with some descent rock tunes and a PG rating. Sorry, no naked cartoon chicks.
81. NIGHT HAWKS
Stallone's best movie after Rocky and Death Race 2000.

Ow! My freakin' nose!
79. EASY RIDER
Smoke'em if you got 'em.

High flying fun with Jackie Chan. Don't miss the battle against the Amazon women killing machines.
76. PLAY MISTY FOR ME
I always thought Clint had a good DJ voice.
75. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT
The sequel coming out next is rumored to be titled The Tootie Witch Project.
74. BIGFOOT DOCUMENTARIES
There actually is a movie (that played at the theater) that's a documentary on Bigfoot with cool reenactments. Well, they were cool when I was seven. But, since you probably won't find that one, any In Search Of type documentary will do.
73. A SIMPLE PLAN
Mo' money, mo' problems.
72. THE FIRST POWER
Lou Diamond Phillips plays a dead Latin rock star. I mean he is after a dead Latin rock star. No that's not it. He battles evil forces or something.
71. RESERVOIR DOGS
You don't actually see most of the violent acts on screen. That makes it alright for children. Right?
70. BAD BOYS
This came out back when Sean Penn still made narley movies.
69. USED CARS
Kurt Russell funniest movie where he plays a used car salesman. Watch for Lenny and Squiggy to make an appearance.
68. SILENT RAGE
He's up again Chuck! Kick him again!
67. CABLE GUY
I don't care what anybody says this is a highly entertaining Jim Carrey flick. It's a lot better than the Grinch.
66. THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER
Join Jackie Chan as he drinks a lot of ass and kicks a lot of booze.
65. GOODFELLAS
This movie is a little long to watch in the middle of the night, but Joe Pesci will amuse you. Not like a clown though.
64. CHEECH AND CHONG'S NICE DREAMS
It's good, but Cheech is naked a little to long.
63. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
The whole movie focuses on some people in a truck stop. When all the machines come to life, even an electric knife. Oh my!
62. RETURN OF THE DRAGON
This is not a sequel to Enter The Dragon, but it does star Bruce Lee.
61. LIFEFORCE
This is directed by the guy that did Poltergeist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Since you've seen those already, checkout this flick. It's different.
60. F/X
A special effects wizard runs from the bad guys and set traps using his effects props.
59. BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES
It answers all the unanswered questions from the first one.
58. 10 TO MIDNIGHT
A naked guy goes around killing women, until Charles Bronson teaches him a lesson.
57. RED DAWN
Are you over 30? Then you've probably seen this 30 times.
56. UNCLE BUCK
This is a great movie to watch any time really. That backfiring car gag never gets old.
55. WILD THINGS
Three way!
54. BOTTLE ROCKET
This is a pretty enjoyable film with Owen Wilson. You know the blond guy in all the Ben Stiller movies with the screwed up nose. His brother is also in this. You will recognize him too.
53. MODERN PROBLEMS
This is another one of Chevy Chase's good ones before he went sour. It's much better than the highly acclaimed European Vacation.
52. HOLLYWOOD HOT TUBS
There's boobs and bubbles, what else do you need to know?
51. FULL METAL JACKET
Do I make you horny? Oops! Wrong movie! Me so horny. That's the one.
50. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
Look out! The little girl zombie has a brick trowel, and she's not afraid to use it.
49. KINGPIN
A one handed bowler, an Amish bowler, an evil bowler and a funny bull scene.
48. LONE WOLF McQUADE
Chuck Norris in one of his best. It's pretty good really.
47. PORKY'S
A good old fashioned teenage sex comedy. Where the teens look older than some of the adults. It would have been more of a classic if the horrible sequels weren't made.
46. SWINGERS
This movie is good, but it looses points for making the expression "Money" popular.
45. NEIGHBORS
A strange comedy with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi. It's about as funny as a gut full of pin worms.
44. DAWN OF THE DEAD
I couldn't eat for minutes after I saw this.
43. STIR OF ECHOES
This came out around the same time The Sixth Sense did, but this is every bit as good if not better. Even though there is only one dead person to see.
42. MARKED FOR DEATH
Steven Segal takes on evil Jamaicans and their leader Screwface. Any movie where the bad guy's name is Screwface has to be good.
41. DARK BACKWARD
Dark and Backward are only two words to describe this. Others would be: greasy garbage, funny gags, overweight sex, extra appendages, Judd Nelson and Bill Paxton.
40. THE RIVER'S EDGE
A group of pot head teens find out that there friend killed a girl. This is a good and disturbing film. With Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and Crispin (McFly) Glover.
39. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE
This is really a good vampire movie. It's even better in the middle of the night. I think Tom Cruise wore shoe lifts.
38. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
Mel Brooks greatest movie! The sets are from the original Frankenstein. BLUKA!
37. THE FLY (REMAKE)
How this didn't get a best picture Oscar I'll never know.
36. THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE
I think this movie depicts the devil more realistically than The Exorcist, but I still like The Exorcist better.
35. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
One of the best movies John Carpenter ever made. He should put Kirt Russell in more of his movies. He seems to have better luck with him. I'm trying to forget about Escape From LA.
34. PREDATOR
Arnold battles an alien rastafarian warrior.
33. DEATHWISH
Jeff Goldblum's first role in a movie as thug number one. Oh yeah, Charles Bronson is in it too.
32. EXALIBUR
This is a medieval as it gets. Chrome armor rules!
31. DELIVERANCE
Honestly, do really think Ned Beatty is the one they would go for in real life? I guess for pig squealing he was the "go to" guy.
30. BLADE or BLADE 2
The vampire with the whitest teeth.
29. THE CROW
Is there any better plot for a movie than revenge? I don't think so.
28. THE HITCHER
A very suspenseful and entertaining flick with the very famous C. Thomas Howell.
27. BRIDE OF CHUCKY
Forget the rest! Bride is the best!
26. SLEEPY HOLLOW
Tim Burton's version of this classic is very good. Johnny Depp's best performance since Ed Wood.
25. WILD AT HEART
This movie is perfect to watch at midnight. Nicholas Cage is an Elvis wannabe type. Laura Dern is his woman. They head to New Orleans and encounter plenty of nice people on the way.
24. SLINGBLADE
Some people call it a keyser blade. Billy Bob Thorton did a great job as Carl. Watch it with some mustard and biscuits.
23. ROBOCOP
I'll buy that for a dollar.
22. ALIEN
This is the first movie I ever saw on video tape. My neighbors rented a VCR. This was over twenty years ago. We kept rewinding the chest buster scene. It was a good time to be alive.
21. ARMY OF DARKNESS
Ash is at it again. In this medieval battle against the undead. It's fun and funny.
20. THE SHINING
Hey wasn't that black guy the voice of Hong Kong Phooey?
19. BATMAN
Jack Nicholson got paid more money to be in this movie than you and all the people you know will get paid in there entire lives. And he doesn't even say Here's Johnny in it.
18. TRUE ROMANCE
Lot's of stars and lot of fun. Written by Quenton Tarentino.
17. THE DEAD ZONE
One of the best films made from a Stephen King novel. Starring Christopher Walken, any movie with Walken is good to watch at midnight.
16. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
If you've seen this too many times. Why don't you check out some of Wes Craven's (the director) earlier work like Last House On The Left. You might want to lock your doors first.
15. BLADE RUNNER
Harrison Ford is in some cool flicks. This is one best seen at night.
14. ROAD WARRIOR
You've seen this a dozen times, but you can watch it again.
13. AKIRA
If you want to see some cool Japanese animation. Check out this flick, or you can just watch some old Speed Racer or Kimba cartoons.
12. PHANTASM
Chrome killing spheres, a severed finger turns into a mutant fly, evil zombie dwarves, a tall man and a Barracuda.
11. HIGHLANDER
"There can be only one!" This sci-fi flick has a better Queen soundtrack than Flash Gordon, and Sean Connery to boot.
10. RE-ANIMATOR
One of the greatest shocking movies of all time. It's got accident victims brought back to life, bone saws, a zombie cat, a guy carrying around his severed head, and a cool green glowing liquid.
9. CONAN THE BARBARIAN
This is the first really good Arnold flick, although Hercules In New York was quite a movie, but it was made before his voice changed.
8. STARSHIP TROOPERS
This movie ain't nothing but fun!
7. THE TERMINATOR
Besides saying "I'll be back" in all of his movies. Arnold uses these lines as well: "Do it!", "Grab my hand!", "Look out!".
6. MAD MAX
Ga' day mate.
5. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
Name's Plisskin.
4. HEAVY METAL
It's a one way ticket to midnight!
3. EVIL DEAD 2
Are you getting tired of seeing this one on all the lists? Well, I can't help it's one of my favorites.
2. THE THING (81)
Best watched while having a midnight snack.
1. MATRIX
I love this movie, but I'm tired of bad parody comedies using the fight scenes all the time. Enough already!
