I used to love AMC on the weekends when they showd American Pop, I think it was called. They had the Beach Blankent movies. The spy movies with James Coburn, I think, Flint, I think.
Classic clips from Hubbaballo and other short clips.
My favorite was Tina Louise working out in high heels! LOL! That was great.
What gets me are these silly four team basketball tournaments that are called "classics" even in their first year of competition.

Yes! American Pop was my favorite! The low budget drive in stuff they always showed. Ah, the Beach Party movies! (Many of which I still have on videotape. Taped off of American Pop when I still had cable. Lost my cable tv not too long after AMC went downhill)
Speaking of the Beach Party movies, there are two excellent books that deal with that genre:
Hollywood Surf and Beach Movies: The First Wave, 1959-1969
and
It's Party Time: A Musical Appreciation of the Beach Party Film Genre
