Re: The Movies of My Youth
#3Amazingly a lot of those movies listed resonate for gen-x, in our youth those were on UHF channels late at night.
So if you were up late or couldn't sleep for whatever reason during the summer break, you'd turn on the old TV you inherited from the parents. plug in headphones so as to not wake the rest of the family, adjust the antenna a little, and watch mutiny on the bounty at 11pm or a charlie chan movie at 2am. The other-worldliness of the experience was enhanced by sleep deprivation. Of course a decade or so later youthful experiments in chemical enhancement made the same middle of the night movies even weirder.

HN is emphatically for more than "tech news", and an essay by Italo Calvino about movies is certainly on-topic here. Indeed, we need more such posts—not just Calvino essays or stories about movies, but articles on everything under the sun.
