Late at night and nothing's on TV, I can usually find something good for free. For those that aren't familiar with it, the newer releases you pay for, the older ones are free. The only downside is that the free selection changes continually, the ones they're advertising anyway. You can get other free movies, but you have to know what you want, because they're listed alphabetically but not by title. Something like "search movies listed A-C, D-F, G-I...etc.
I finally cut the cord a few years ago so I never really got to use a lot of the on-demand stuff. It's definitely a cool thing to have, like you said especially if it's late. Or maybe it snows, you're sick, etc. It definitely beats the old days when you were stuck either watching Police Academy 3 Citizens on Patrol for the 15th time on Comedy Central or the Great Outdoors on TBS, and that was it(great movies by the way).
I think today's kids are really missing out on that group trip with your friends to the video store, and gearing up for a sleepover. Grab a bad ass game, make sure to laugh for the millionth time when you pass the Frankenhooker box, try to convince your mom to let you watch Revenge of the Nerds 1, b/c it's funny, but when you all really want to see some bush, wonder why the box of I Spit on Your Grave is in that weird oversized box (does anyone remember those), and then rent a stack of comedy movies. Ahhh, good times.
