A 'Frequently aired' HBO movie?(spoilers)

I had HBO way back in the 80s in our house. I swore this was one of the films they played frequently(a la Midnight Madness, Superfuzz, etc). Was this another one of them?

I just saw it on OnDemand. As a kid, I must have assumed the film ended when she shrunk away and turned the channel, since I didn't recall the last 3 minutes.

Yes, this was definitely an 80's staple. You already named two awesome ones already. I would maybe add WarGames, Grease 2, Annie, Gleaming the Cube, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and The Legend of Billie Jean.

I love The Vegas, I want to marry it and have little alcoholic, gambling addicted babies with it.

HBO still shows it in the wee hours of the morning. It's usually the best time to watch something on mute.

Ha!Yes it definitely was. Like the movies you mentioned, as well as Bachelor Party, Popeye, Sixteen Candles, The Toy, and The Natural.

Midnight Madness. CLASSIC.
