I used to go straight to the section that had the listings for all movies playing on TV that week and circle everything listed as either "melodrama" or "science-fiction."

Also, anything that had a horror star in the cast, which was how I discovered things such as OF MICE AND MEN or HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD.

"Melodrama" used to throw me off in the listings. I would accidentally skip over those listings until I once saw The Mummy's Curse under melodrama. From that point on, I was far more educated in the ways of the TV Guide!
