[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid in the 1970s, we had movie week themes after school.

Gidget Week
Elvis Week
Godzilla Week
Annette and Frankie Beach Week

I don't know if your children would like those movies. We didn't have cable until the early 1980s. And our parents were teenagers in the 1950s/1960s so we liked movies and music from that era, which were mostly rated "G."

Wikipedia calls it the 4:30 p.m. movie. I lived in the Midwest, so it was the 3:30 p.m. movie.

"The 4:30 Movie is a television program that aired weekday afternoons on WABC-TV (Channel 7) in New York from 1968 to 1981. The program was mainly known for individual theme weeks devoted to theatrical feature films or made-for-TV movies starring a certain actor or actress, or to a particular genre, or to films that spawned sequels. The more popular episodes were "Monster Week," "Planet of the Apes Week" and "Vincent Price Week." Some films, such as Ben-Hur and How the West Was Won, were of such length that an entire week was devoted to running the whole movie. Other films that ran longer than the program's 90-minute length were often divided into two parts and shown over two days."

I LOVED the 4:30 movie!!  Whenever I know some old or obscure movie and someone asks me where I saw it, I say, “4:30 movie!”
