Hell, I love cheesy movies. But I always avoid anything labeled as a "romantic comedy" like the plague...Unless of course it's Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde or Billy Wilder or such.<BR/><BR/>"Caged" is a pretty good movie, Portia. Although it's odd FOR US OLD FOLKS (bite me whippersnapper)to see Agnes Moorehead ("mother" of Samamtha on "Bewitched") play such a motherly, and sympathetic, character. I didn't know that the film got so many Oscar nominations. I guess movies about women in prison just never go out of style, eh?

"Women of the Prehistoric Planet" Too funny spd, though no doubt we watched it for different reasons:)<BR/><BR/>Along with the fear factor, the best things about these B movies were the smarny low-budget tag lines that accompanied the films:<BR/>WOTPP: <EM>Prehistoric nymphs bathe in the pools of paradise!</EM><BR/>The Blob: <EM>Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing Can Stop It!</EM><BR/>and from <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042296/" REL="nofollow">Caged</A> another one of my favorites (not to be confused with "Caged Heat" except by some): <EM>Will she come out a woman or a wildcat?</EM><BR/><BR/>Man, "Caged" was one scary flick with a hard-nosed message for young girls: Misbehave and you'll go to prison and get your head shaved by female inmates. Holy sh*t. <BR/><BR/>Where was my Mother? Heh. Probably insisting I watch "Caged" again and again. It worked. Funny thing is, I learned today the movie garnered three Academy Award nominations, and a best actress win for Elaenor Parker. Who knew? I guess my mother.

I loved watching those low-budget, black and white monster/alien/blob sci-fi horror flicks.<BR/><BR/><EM><STRONG>His head...it was torn off.</STRONG></EM> That was the opening line from my favorite <A HREF="http://videodetective.com/home.asp?PublishedID=208630" REL="nofollow">The Crawling Eye</A>. Like you and Monster Crabs, I mean Crab Monsters, I must have seen "The Crawling Eye" 50 times (Ch. 9 "The Million Dollar Movie" and "Chiller Theater" ran it continuously), and it never failed to scare the bejesus out of me. This one had everything: a dashing scientist, an observatory on a deserted mountain, a couple of dames who were lookers with good lungs, a scared town and a formidable alien. Of course, at the end all the characters find themselves up huddled in the fortress-like observatory waiting for the eyeball to descend. Good stuff. What more could you want on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Still.portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.com
