Gilbert Gottfried was an excellent host and the movies were so bad they were actually good. Most of them were in the style of Ed Wood. This was where I first saw "Killer Clowns from Outer Space". It like most of them was so bad it was good. It has since attained Cult Status. All of the films it showed were classics and the comments by Gottfried and Shear made this an unforgettable program. I truly do miss not being able to see this on TV anymore. We need more like this on the Tube. I agree with the other reviewer when he said most of these movies will never be shown again. They were so bad that no one would be willing to rent them or watch them. The comments that were made between the commercials were hilarious and made you want to watch.
Yes, next to Commander USA's Groovie Movies, this show was my fave on the USA Network. I loved the great 80's L.A. rock and roll feel the show had. I even loved the opening theme song! Caroline Schlitt was a beautiful love goddess and great comedian and was the perfect host for this late night movie show. Gilbert was a good host too but the show went straight to hell when the oh so annoying, idiotic, moronic, and painfully unfunny Rhonda Shear replaced Caroline as the host. Poor Caroline vanished from the world of show bizniz after she left Up All Night. Oh, Caroline, honey, we hardly knew ye...
As a teen in the late 80's I watched this show every week, religiously.
It turned me on to some movies that have become my favorite of all time B -horror, campy, gritty and cult classics like Killer Klowns from outer space, 976-evil, Motel Hell, Toxic Avenger, Night of the Comet, etc etc.
The list goes on. The memories of watching this show left a lasting impression on me.
It was one of a kind for it's time and perfect for someone of my age group.
They also aired a lot of the "sexy comedies" like Bikini Car Wash, Bad Girls Dormitory, etc.
Miss this show!

I had completely forgotten about this late night movie show until I came across a reference to it on another IMDb page. And what a great show it was, with wonderful bottom-of-the-barrel flicks interspersed with the occasional legit movie, and hosted by various funny folks like Gilbert Gottfried, Such fond memories. The topic of female nudity -- a frequent occurrence in many of the flicks shown -- and how this was handled makes for some very funny reading here, and I remember that sort of thing vividly. Today, the station would simply optically obscure what it doesn't want us to see, instead of making ridiculous and downright damaging edits. Many of these films may never be seen again, sad to say. I agree with those who suggest watching G4, which runs some pretty awful and hilarious flicks from time to time. But it's not and never will be "USA Up All Night." That was one of a kind.
As a teen when I could set up late on Friday and Saturday nights I was glued to "USA Network" and this late night show which was always hosted or introduced either by the sexy Rhonda Shear or the silly Gilbert Gottfried. And the movies would range from top notch action or horror flicks to cheesy like teen hormone driven comedies to B science fiction type independent horror flicks. Wow those were the days when I could stay up all night and plus "USA" was a great network. Yet eye candy treat was seen as many of the movies had hot chicks and were hormone driven, really miss those days.
