What are your favorites?Any good recommendations?Got a few days off and I'm planning on watching as much as I can.
>scifi slopWatch something realistic instead. The best shows and movies are set in the real world with no childish fantasy bullshit
>>220255286Doesn't have to be set in a childish fantasy world to be scifi, that's sort of the best part.
> The Deadly MantisVery GoodReally underrated.> Good build up with mystery & mood without overdoing it.> The Mantis gets a lot of screentime.> The Mantis looks solid & fairly realistic, they thankfully did not give him a humanized silly face like the close up models for BlackScorpion or Crab Monsters.> Snowy artic setting is unique & a nice change of pace from the Deserts most of the 50s B-movies had.> Great score.> Lots of retro military porn & Jet footage.> They don't waste too much time on romance like It Came from Beneath the Sea did.I'd put it as about equal with Them and both just a bit above The Black Scoprion.Tarantula is decent but notably lesser than those 3.
>>220255286Alright. What do you recommend?
>>220255312Awesome, thanks I'll check it out!
I've been watching Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and it's honestly fuckin great. Has a lot of cool shots of Chicago in the 70s combined with obvious Californian studio sets but it all feels very cohesive and mysterious at the same time. 9/10 would recommend
>>220255312>>220255330Pic related are underrated and sadly dismissed as being cheap crap.Crawling Eye has well done build up and mood with decapitations & a errie moving fog bank similar to John Carpenter's film.Killer Shrews shares (& does well) the house under siege with people inside being just as much of a threat theme from Night of the Living Dead.Haunted Cave is a surprisingly detailed heist film with backstabbing intrigue just with a Spider monster foil.http://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsa-d/crawlingeye.htmhttp://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsh-m/killershrews.htmhttp://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsa-d/beastfromhauntedcave.htm
>>220255411Nice, those sound pretty good I'llcheck them out. I've never seen 1000misspenthours before but WOW what a catalog, I like that there's a chronological order to view them.
OP have you watched much Godzilla?Here is a quasi trilogy you could watch.> Godzilla King of the Monsters (1954) --- [American cut specifically]> Godzilla 1985 --- [American cut specifically]Never been released on DVD, basically perfect HQ fan reconstruction here - https://archive.org/details/Godzilla1985RedMenace> Godzilla vs Biollante
Bump
the one where the apocalypse happens and the bookworm has all the time in the world now to read books but then he breaks his reading glasseslike if you discovered joblessless and internet pornography for the first time ever only to have your dick fall off a day a later
>>220255272It Came From Outer Space. Peak spooky desert stuff.>>220255312I've always enjoyed Tarantula more. Them starts out strong then kind of loses it's momentum.
