Island of Terror 1966 staring Peter Cushing in this one an island and it inhalants are menaced by a tentacle Bone eating silicone monsters. Its a pretty decent B movie .:cool:

I like Island of Terror--also Night of the Big Heat aka Island of the Burning Doomed.

Has a memorable line concerning Cushing's character. "Well he can't come you selfish bitch, he's dead."
What's extra interesting is that line was spoken to Jane Merrow who more recently became a producer and one of the films she made was a version of the story The Damned Thing.

Ive seen Island of the Burning Doomed ,wasn't a bad a film.
 
The Frozen Dead 1966 An evil Nazi scientist found a way in the 1940's to cryonically freeze Nazi soldiers and leaders with plans to revive them 20 plus years later . It's actually a pretty good science fiction horror film.
 
Black Sabbath 1963 Its a horror anthology three tales of terror one of which had Boris Karloff . This film is must see, it is simply one the best of all time. :cool:
 
The Boogens 1981 A really fun little monster movie. This film is largely forgotten. :)

I understand the original Italian version offers the three stories in a different order.

I saw it when it first came out. An unusual example of the genre.
 
This Island Earth 1955 could have actually been a great film had the people producing it had an understanding of Science fiction.
 
I liked This Island Earth despite its silly science. Now where’s my XC Condenser....:)

It was based on the novel of the same name by Raymond Jones published 1952 .

I’ll have to look out for that one. Does the silly science come from the book or the movie?

I owned book at one time but never read it and, I foolishly gave it away .:confused: Im not sure, but I think the movie does diverge significantly from the book.

Does anyone else have a soft spot for films that you love for all the wrong reasons?

In my opinion there is nothing better than sitting down with a few friends and ridiculing a terrible movie. Let me start with the travesty that was : -

Volcano - I loved that movie! Remember when they stopped the flow of lava with a combination of parked buses and water!?!!? Or who can forget the scene where our hero is hanging off a metal ladder with his bare hands, above a river of lava, and although the ladder is warping from the heat, still he hangs on! Also I loved the way that New York coveniently had storm drains just in the right place to divert the flow of lava - classic stuff.

Anyone ever seen an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, that show is great. For anyone that doesn't know, each episode consists of a guy, with 2 robot puppets making sarcastic comments over such classic B-Movies as "Attack Of The Killer Shrews", "Deathstalker And The Warriors From Hell", "Terror From The Year 5000", and my own personal favorite "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians". It is all good.

Ha! Yeh me and my brother we have loads of films like this but they're usually amazing films just the acting needs ridiculed. Like the Harry Potters for example some of the young folk acting are hilarious. Still class films but when Harry thinks he's hard and starts his nonsense he does need the piss ripped out of him. :)
 
William Shatner's Kingdom of the Spiders is one example of a really cheesy goofy bad B-movie. That and his fellow Star Trek buddies in movies like Night of the Lupus and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

that one scene in Kingdom of the Spiders at the end of the movie with William Shatner covered with "poisonous" tarantulas is really something
