I going to take the bait, out myself as a former teenager (spoiler: I'm old) and restore thruth: the kind of movies you're thinking about were notoriously aired on Saturday nights. (At least in France.)

But I swear I was just video-taping late evening TV to get the summaries of soccer games. (Yes, video-taping. Did I mention I was old ?)

In Spain it was on Fridays, it's almost the same thing. On soccer, ditto. There is an HN-like news somewhere, when some people broadcasted the world soccer series in ASCII over telnet around 2007 I think.
