    Well Darkstar with Bruce Dern I remember it as a good scifi. Going back more The Good Earth I think 1937. Also YES I like silent ones besides the comedies. Gish, Pickford, Fairbanks,etc.

    Funny thing is I own more silent movies than the library I go to.

    I have the book and read it.

    Quoted from Sinistarrett:

    You guys remember these? Both were made-for-TV movies, both scared the living shit out of me as a wee lad.

    Did you see the sequel to the Vodoo Doll one? Trilogy of Terror II

    Starts out right after the cops take her away.

    Quoted from Sinistarrett:

    No, but Im sure gonna go check it out if I can find it online or streaming.
    I did watch these two sweet 70s flicks yesterday, highly recommend both.

    I have seen The Mechanic the 70's one still haven't seen the remake. I always remember a The Critic episode with Charles Bronson in Deathwish 8 in a hospital bed saying I wash I was dead over and over. I miss that series.

    Not my favorite and it really stinks if you have seen it. But it is obscure. Plan 9 From Outerspace

    #971 3 years ago

    All you need to know...White Line Fever...saw it on the screen when it came out and I ALWAYS remember it.

    Sorry had to add this ALL TIME favorite: Heavy Metal! Both movie and music!

    Saw this when I was young at a drive-in and scared me good.

    Quoted from zombywoof:

    I know that film.
    That same director later went on to do A Christmas Story.

    Kind of a change of pace and also "A Christmas Story" can get scary too if you watch it enough.

    Quoted from rx3:

    I liked him in "Soylent Green" with that saying being screamed "Soylent Green is people!!!"

    Quoted from TheDarkKnight68:

    At the Earth's Core a great Edgar Rice Burroughs book but the movie was nowhere near as good. Wish they would remake it and do it justice.

    The War Of The Gargantuas I have seen many times and used to have pictures from the film that the theater would put up instead of a poster. My uncle back in the 70's ran one of two theaters in the Florida Keys. His was in Marathon and back then it was one of only a few things to do back then as now it is bought up. I miss that place and the movies I watched.

    The Land that Time Forgot was the better of the two movies also both Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

    Deathship was good if I am remembering the correct movie. Italian ship I think in the 50's or early 60's starts at a party aboard and moist of the tourists are halved should we say!!!

    #1034 2 years ago

    I remember this as a kid and watched it on Sammy Terry who hosted old Horror and Sci Fi movies.

    The Mole People was a low budget (B movie I would call it) and also the movie Riders to the Stars (1953) which you can stream for free here off the internet.

    Quoted from Zablon:

    Unless it was a remake of this movie, that would be Ghostship that you are thinking of.

    Sorry Zablon I guess I got my ships mixed up, chalk it up to old age.

    Quoted from girloveswaffles:

    Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg's 1979 $35,000,000 comedy, 1941
    [quoted image]

    Quite a cast this movie has.

    girloveswaffles I own that movie and I think it doesn't get the credit as a John Belushi movie also.

    Quoted from girloveswaffles:

    I have an original 1980 MCA Discovision copy, a MCA / Universal Widscreen Laser disc, and a DVD copy. I just need to get a Blu Ray copy one of these days.

    girloveswaffles just how old are you? Do you have a VHS copy also?

    I thought I was the old person around here?

    #1048 2 years ago

    You should visit the Goodwill here girloveswaffles all my VHS players have broken and I just donated about 750 VHS movies to them. Including my Beatles Yellow Submarine tape also.

    Just slightly older than me I turn that age this month.

    Quoted from girloveswaffles:

    Heavy Metal (1981).
    Recently got the 4K relerase
    [quoted image]
    Hands down, one of the best looking Copies of the movie on video!
    Yeah, it shows it age a bit, but still a fun movie to watch. Down side, most of the stories from the magazine aren't very accurate (save Captain Sternn Saves the Day), Upside the original stories are great (Harry Canyon, B-17, Taarna)
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082509/

    This one is way better than Heavy Metal 2.
