POPCORN AND CERVASAS

[eleny]

8. Don't worry - Cat People, the remake, is on next

[montanacowboy]

9. It can't touch the original tho

that one was excellent; lighting, everything, primo flick

[eleny]

12. TCM had a great day of these from the 50s a little while back

What a treat.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. Director Jacques Tourneur: Cat People, I Walked With A Zombie, and his masterpiece

Night Of The Demon, probably the best black-and-white horror movie ever made.

[CatWoman]

13. that's another excellent movie!!!

Natashia Kinsky version?

[eleny]

15. Yes, from 1982

You mean it's good?!

[CatWoman]

17. Male and Female were named for Rudy Dee's character in that movie

:)

[eleny]

19. Cute!

I figured the remake wouldn't be nearly as good as the original. But I'll keep an open mind!

[Cobalt-60]

3. An excellent film

from the dawn of sci fi time.

[cynatnite]

4. 'Creature of the Black Lagoon' fan here n/t

[CatWoman]

6. James Whitmore was a true hero

I can't stand watching the scene in which he dies :cry:

[Jakey]

18. Another GREAT Whitmore Performance...

from the 60's..."Captain Bentyne(sp?)" in a "Twilight Zone" episode about a group of space colonists stranded for several decades in a failed colonization. Whitmore's portrayal of Bentyne's "Messiah Complex" stands out for me as one of more memorable performances of that early TV sci-fi genre.

[lectrobyte]

7. A sci-fi classic. Well worth watching, I try to catch it every now and then.

Ever notice how one of the "Alien" movies ripped off the whole little girl bit?

[eleny]

10. Scared me silly when it first came out

I was about 8.

[karlrschneider]

11. How weird, I just turned it on a few minutes ago!

-cue twilight zone theme-

:D

[villager]

14. Loved that movie when I was a sprout

Now I live in L.A., and I'm still expecting the ants...

[eleny]

16. Tarantula!

For years I tucked the covers under my feet at night. I believed that it would crawl in from the foot of my bed.

[villager]

20. did you live in the desert?

;-)

[eleny]

22. New York City!

Actually, my older brother suggested the idea. That sealed it in stone for me.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. "Make me a sargent and bring me the booze!"

Savage mandibles!

It's impossible to take the train into Union Station along the LA river & not think about those drainage tunnels!

[villager]

25. it's just generally impossible to look at the drainage tunnels anywhere

around L.A., and not think of .... them

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. I saw that movie in Germany when it first came out

I was a pre-schooler and military dependent on a U.S. Air Force base and they showed that movie at the base theater. Back then, I went to see every possible science fiction, horror, murder mystery, and violent western and war movie I could. The base theater seemed to get everything. Every little kid wanted to see as many scary and violent movies as possible and parents never said anything.

[Jakey]

26. I forget...

...what it was they did to bring the little girl out of her catatonic state so she could scream the movie title. Anyone?
