So let’s hear your list of the most watchable MSTed movies. We’re defining “watchable” as you wouldn’t mind watching it without the riffing. You might not LOVE it, but it would keep your interest.
Here’s my top 10 (in show order because it’s easiest, you can do as many or as few as you want, in any order you want):
K09- PHASE IV–actually a kind of interesting story, and some kind of scary moments.
112- UNTAMED YOUTH–Mamie!
204- CATALINA CAPER–Bright, silly–I love the beach movies.
422- THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE–Hey, it’s a little out there, but pretty to look at (reminds me of a girl I knew in college).
505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD–See above.
516- ALIEN FROM L.A.–There is so much weirdness in this movie.
519- OUTLAW (OF GOR)–Action, pretty girls, midgets: what’s not to love?
523- VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS–These bizarro teen things hold a fascination for me.
601- GIRLS TOWN–Mamie!
812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES–One of those movies you stare at because you can’t believe somebody actually made it.
What are your picks?

Also, although it’s one of my favorite MST3K episodes because of the excellent riffing, I would like to see The Deadly Mantis unriffed.
Oops, forgot about Sidehackers – for the dance party if for nothing else!
…and by Sidehackers, I meant Skydivers! :-P
I find alot of the Roger Corman films watchable – I loved them as a child. Most of the Universal Horror films, too. My top ten are…
1. It Conquered the World
2. The Thing that Couldn’t Die
3. Earth vs. the Spider
4. Revenge of the Creature
5. The Mole People
6. Night of the Blood Beast
7. The Crawling Eye
8. The Deadly Mantis
9. I Was a Teenage Werewolf
10. The Unearthly
A couple of strong egg nogs, and either Santa Claus, or Santa Claus conquering our friends on Mars makes for a fine Holiday evening. Even the un-MST’d versions are so wacky and silly they can be good fun.
Pemmican says: “Not to pander, but I’d pick “Alien from LA” as well. It’s fairly well budgeted, has a star(?) people would recognize…..”
A helium burning star. :)
A while back, TCM aired The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy
and I watched it
and thought it was easy to follow, moved right along and of course was
quite humorous in its budget-challenged way, with the characters speaking the lines of dialogue in the perfected wooden way.
Later on I watched the MSTied version which believe it or not made it drag out(this means you Josh) and I concluded I actually prefer TRvs.TZM un-riffed!
We have seen and enjoyed:
1) Bride of the Monster. Any of the Paul Marcos trilogy are immensely watchable on their own, even though they are terrible movies.
2) Marooned (Space Travelers). This made a whole lot more sense uncut and was an enjoyable, believable movie.
3) ZaaT (Blood Waters of Dr. Z). Although nothing essential was cut from the movie in the MSTied version, the original had quite a goofiness of its own.
4) Beginning of the End. Always one of my favorites.
5) Giant Gila Monster
6) Track of the Moon Beast. I think we have fours copies of this, due to collections.
7) Prince of Space / Invasion of the Neptune Men. We have a love of the Japanese space operas, although our version of Invasion does not have the Hitler building scene.
For me, it’s hard to say. I own several unMSTed on DVD, and I watch them as the mood strikes. Ilya Muromets (the Russian Sword & The Dragon) is fun, barely different and has a great score. I’ll watch Beast of Yucca Flats, The Day The Earth Froze, Bride of the Monster, Giant Gila Monster, Catalina Caper, Eegah, etc. as well. The thing is: I’ve seen the episodes, and many of the riffs will come to mind as I watch. So I don’t know that I’m watching them for them, or for a proxy view of the episode – MST-lite, as it were.
I’ve always wondered if Operation Double 007 and Danger! Death Ray are as watchable sans-riffing as they are with it. (I’ve never had the pleasure, so I don’t know.)
Like so many others here, the ones I love to watch on their own are the ones I loved as a kid.
The Crawling Eye – Oh, how those creatures creeped me out, and the “heads in the bag” were way ahead of their time.
Indestructible Man – I actually think this was a pretty good flick. I loved the narration and Butcher Benton throwin’ guys off balconies.
Beginning of the End – Giant bugs were my thing back then.
Black Scorpion – Another film that stands on it’s own quite well.
Daddy-O – I have a pristine DVD transfer and it’s sooooooo much fun.
And BTW – Fart Bargo, I LOVE your Avitar. Zanti Misfits is one of my favorite Outer limits eps. I even had a fantasy sports team called “The Zanti Misfits”.
just seeing if my (G)ravatar shows up.
All the Ed wood movies because they are so inept they don’t even need riffing. Like Sampo I enjoyed all the Russo-Finnish movies. The Hercules ones and Diabolik. I even liked Double 007 which I thought was a very clever parody of the Bond movies. Also Horror of Party Beach beause the MST3K version edited out so much of the horror they ruined the movie for me.
I admit, I like Alien From L.A. saw it years ago on cable. Was so excited when I found out MST did it, had to catch it online though.
I love The Magic Sword, caught it one night on TCM. Cute movie.
And Soultaker.
I remember when my mom and I first saw Soultaker she had to go out and find it uncut. Mom was quite the MSTie too and liked to see the movies uncut. It’s pretty good.
Master Ninja I & II. It’s so strange how easily you can get caught up in the story going on. Wish they’d gotten around to doing the third one.
In no particular order……
1. Alien from L.A. – I just think it’s an interesting premise.
2. Diabolik – I saw this without the riffing long before I saw it on MST3K, and I thought it was really quite fun.
3. Revenge of the Creature – again, I saw this without the riffing before seeing the riffed version, and it’s my favorite movie from the Creature from the Black Lagoon franchise.
4. Final Sacrifice – like Crow, I think that this movie isn’t as bad as the movies they usually have to watch. The storyline has a good deal of potential and Mike Pipper alone is reason enough to watch the movie, riffing or no riffing.
5. The Magic Sword – when I first saw this episode, I remember being very surprised that it was a Bert I. Gordon movie that I didn’t actually hate, and that I wouldn’t mind viewing it without the riffing. A few months ago my dad bought about forty movies from a movie store that was closing, and The Magic Sword was one of them. I watched it and found that it was, indeed, fairly enjoyable on its own.
6. Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster – again, one that I saw first without the riffing. It’s one of my favorite Godzilla movies.
7. Bloodlust – I’m not sure why I find this movie so watchable, but there it is. Interesting (albeit unoriginal) plot and characters that I actually don’t despise.
There are probably several movies that I’ve completely forgotten about. I also considered putting Manos on this list but I realized that the only way I can ever get through the non-riffed version is by imagining Joel and the Bots riffing it in my head…..
I confess I was never really a “bad movie fan.” I also never once saw a movie on MST that I’d seen before. My list would be pretty short:
– The Ptushko films and Jack Frost
– The Magic Sword
– Time Chasers
– Space Mutiny (Bad movie, but I think I’d still laugh and laugh even with no riffing)
– Diabolik
Since I don’t know how to send messages to Sampo on weekend ideas
(I can barely handle reading e-mail :-) )
Here’s an idea:
===================================================
Reading some of the “Most Watchable MSTd Movies”, the thought occurred,
how about a topic on “good (or bad) location scenes/using location
scenes to good advantage in MSTed movies.
There are a number of them. To give two:
1) WOULD YOU BELIEVE?
The heist location with the cars and roads in “The Rebel Set.”
2) In Time Chasers those plucky neophyte filmmakers creating several
futures and pasts. (I particularly liked their 50s set with the diner and Mrs. Khruschev).
i actually like “the incredible melting man” a lot, mainly cuz i saw it when i was young and the melting effects are really cool! and the part where the fisherman’s ripped off head goes over the waterfall SPLAT!! awesome.
jack frost
revenge of the creature
kitten with a whip. i love me some ann margrock.
godzilla/gamera cuz they’re just burned into my retinas from age 4 on.
again, all the giant monster flicks. seen them more times that I care to think. can’t wait to get my 3 yr old into em.
I had commented on Topless Robot about liking ‘Santa Claus’. Its just so over the top weird that you can watch it on its own. A very unique take on the Santa legend.
Without reading others suggestions, three that came immediately are-
#1 Godzilla vs the Sea Monster, I think most Godzilla movies are watchable and in this one he’s not shaking hands with Jet Jaguar. He’s still a bit of a menace here.
#2 Hercules and the Captive Women, It’s a fairly good print, understandable dialogue, and a followable story. Dedicating the day to Uranus helped I think.
#3 Teenagers from Outer Space, OK the acting is awful and the special effects terrible but the plot moves along well (everybody gets to be a hostage!).
With a better print Horrors of Spider Island would be watchable for obvious reasons and I nearly added Puma Man and Riding with Death but didn’t.
What do think sirs?
not really into bad movies ( as others above have stated )… here’s a list of too many films that I would watch unMSTed.
The Russian Troika + 1
This Island Earth
Tormented
Kitten with a Whip
Daddy-O ( kind of a Dick Contino fan ?! )
Teenage Caveman
Stranded in Space
Bloodlust
The Brute Man
The Leech Woman
The Horror of Party Beach ( but only because I grew up in the town where it was filmed )
Untamed Youth
In no order:
1. Tormented (I just thought of this one and soon as I looked the next page in the list, there it was.) – I think Tormented is watchable because I actually find the characters and their actions to be interesting. The little girl is actually useful to the plot, rare for a child character in a MSTed movie. Tom Stewart manages to be both likable and inspires hate. Overall, it’s a well made movie.
2. Pumaman – I don’t know if I would watch it now, but I certainly would have watched Pumaman if I found it when I was a kid.
3. Cave Dwellers (or whatever the movie’s original title was) – Like Pumaman, I would have watched this movie when I was a kid. I was crazy about sword and sorcery movies back then.
4. Parts: The Clonus Horror – Low budget? Yes, but I still count this as one of the few legit movies that was featured in MST3K.
5. Squirm – I do watch this movie whenever it plays on TV. The MGM HD channel was showing it last October. It’s another legit movie.
6. The Touch of Satan – The 1970s and Satan seem to go hand in hand. This movie is like a Twilight Zone episode of Little House on the Prairie.
7. I Accuse My Parents – I hate to appear as though I’m copying that list, but I do like this movie. It’s part of the reason why I watch this episode so much. I’m also partial to movies from that era, and Mary Beth Hughes is nice to look at too. I use IAMP was one of my “stand-by” MST3K episode. The kind of episode I got to when I really don’t know what else to watch.
8. Soultaker – Like Parts: The Clonus Horror, this is another low-budget, but still legit movie. I do like the whole concept of the movie.
9. Diabolik! – Like Pumaman, this is a movie I would have watched as a kid. Like the Russo-Finnish movies, Diabolik is well made foreign movie that’s kind of weird.
10. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank – The basic concept is good, and the cheesy, early ’80s video technology is fun to watch.
D’Weed @45, you may have come up with a new Chunk Beefpile….
long live Pec Hackman !
There are a few movies I think are legitimately good on their own terms:
Black Scorpion (stop-motion bugs!)
Attack of the Giant Leeches (creepy atmosphere and nice twists.)
The Leech Woman (Good feminist-ish story.)
The Mole People (Legitimately exciting adventure.)
I Was a Teenage Werewolf (Good performances and concept).
Danger: Diabolik (stylish, meant to be cartoonish.)
Also, there’s Time Chasers, which could have been quite good if it was given a script polish, a different lead actor, and a better budget.
And I’ll watch any of the Russo-Finnish movies because on their own, they’re so ridiculous and colorful.
Mole People, Black Scorpion, Deadly Mantis, Phase IV, all the Gamera movies and Godzilla movies, I was a Teenage Werewolf, Danger: Diabolik, Devil Doll, Parts: The Clonus Horror, The Crawling Eye. I have many of these as un-Mstied version DVDs and they’re all enjoyable sans riffing.
Actually, Phase IV was in constant rotation when I was a wee lad. Not really a bad movie, just very different.
the only movie I’ve seen in its original format (or as close as local tv permits) and liked is “Earth vs the Spider”. I recently saw “Them” and didn’t think it was as good.
Actually, from my standpoint, most of the movies that got MSTed are good enough to watch without the riffs. There are very few that are unwatchable otherwise. As noted, they may not be “good”, but they are watchable.
Three that I’d say are watchable on their own are “Marooned” (it’s well-done, if slow; the novel presents the idea better), “This Island Earth” (features some great production design and good SPFX) and “Diabolik” (it’s very off-kilter, but it’s always watachable).
DIABOLIK and SANTA CLAUS.
There should be a movie where they team up. :)
Eesh. This is tough. It’s hard to say what I would sit through had I never seen the MSTed versions. I DID see Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on TV when I was a kid, and kind of thought it was goofy fun. But would I sit through it nowadays? Probably not.
The only ones I can think of that I would give a shot all the way through, without channel surfing, without getting bored with them are:
Tormented
Time Chasers
and possibly, POSSIBLY – I Accuse My Parents.
I actually really love Horror of Party Beach-I know it’s terrible, but it’s actually a fun bad movie.
Diabolik and Parts: clonus horror are very watchable.
As a child of the 70’s I was into monster movies so I can watch all the Gamera & Godzilla movies unMisted. I was also into “Space 1999” so I could watch “Cosmic Princess” unMisted as well.
Count me in as another that enjoys the Hercules films. I give “Captive Women” the nod over the Steve Reeves films on account of it having a brisker pace, and more amusing intentional humor.
And, of course, I loved Godzilla movies way before I ever saw MST. The nice, remastered widescreen DVD of “Sea Monster” available in Region 1 from Sony, is truly a sight to behold.
I am a B-movie connoisseur (remember: the only bad movie is a boring one), but I have to confess, I’ve never seen a MST movie un-riffed. Well, that’s sorta untrue. Recently on THIS-TV network, on the Elvira Movie Macabre show, I’ve seen parts of Teenagers from Outer Space and Eegah! and also It Lives By Night (under the title Bat People) on their regular programming, and despite those first two being some of my fave experiments, they did not hold my attention in their original form.
Staying on topic, my interests lie mainly in 70’s and 80’s films, although I do love some good 50’s B-movie wackiness, so I guess my list of future probable viewings would look something like this:
K09-Phase IV –I was surprised by how well made and odd the film was.
112-Untamed Youth –Very watchable. Did someone say “Mamie!”?
212-Godzilla v. Megalon –One of my faves; not big on the Godzilla films but I would give it a go.
322-Master Ninja –Lee Van Cleef is reason enough to watch anything.
405-Being from Another Planet –Despite the endless basement scenes, this is some good cheese.
512-Mithcell –John Saxon!
615-Kitten with a Whip –Maybe the best film MST did. Maybe, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
704-The Incredible Melting Man –I wanna see more Rick Baker special effects!
706-Laserblast –Why yes, I am ready for some football. Thanks for asking.
812-TISCWSLABMUZ –Such a weird movie, I like to imagine a parallel universe where this is the norm!
813-Jack Frost –Downright weird and wonderful.
903-Pumaman –He flies like a moron. ‘Nuff said!
1012-Squirm –Been meaning to see this, I got friends who like it who haven’t seen the MST version.
1013-Diabolik! –Mario Bava is a phenomenal director, this film I would check out for sure.
I love B movies so pretty much all them seem watchable to me. There might be one or two lone exceptions like the dreary Last of the Wild Horses and I can’t really see watching a Hercules movie without riffing. But those more hinge on genre than any actual feelings about the films themselves.
Yeah, I’d even watch Monster a Go Go by itself. Yep.
I’ll just go in order.
1. Catalina Caper. Kind of a harmless way to spend an afternoon.
2/3. Master Ninja 1 and 2. Heck, if I’d been a year or so older when it originally aired, I would have watched it unMSTed. A ninja and an A-team van. Cool!
4. Tormented. I liked the ghost story element to it. Chop it down a bit, and it would have been a perfectly acceptable Night Gallery episode.
5. Danger! Death Ray! Take away the toys, and it is a perfectly acceptable Eurospy film.
6. Angel’s Revenge. For, shall I say, questionable reasons.
7. Jack Frost. Really beautiful film.
8. Time Chasers. Not that bad of a film. It just needed the budget something of that concept would require.
9. Gorgo. Because I watched it. At 4am one Sunday. In that manner, I had no complaints about it.
10. Soultaker. Again, it isn’t too bad of a movie. I think the 80s-y nature of it all made it MSTable. (Yes, I know it was apparently released in 1990).
This Island Earth, because it’s actually not that bad for a 50s sci-fi B movie.
Tormented. I actually watched this decades ago on a late show and enjoyed it, felt it had a spooky vibe that, with some plot tweaks and better direction, could’ve been a really good horror flick.
Jack Frost. Beautifully shot kids movie. The scenes with the tree witch would be hilarious to seven year olds.
Catalina Caper. No worse than any of the other Beach movies of the era.
I Was a Teenage Werewolf. Because of Michael Landon, who actually does a good job in this one, plus it’s a neat twist on the werewolf story.
Revenge of the Creature. Sequel to the memorable “Creature from the Black Lagoon”. Not a bad b-movie monster flick, plus it introduced us to Clint Eastwood’s first movie role, a brief scene as a befuddled scientist.
Diabolik: Funky action/super criminal flick from the late 60s.
Moon Zero Two: The cartoon credit sequence and theme song (Moooon! Zero! Two!)doesn’t do this one justice. It’s actually not a bad late 60s British sci-fi flick.
The Magic Sword. Yes, it’s directed by the infamous Bert I. Gordon, but it’s actually pretty good on its own. In fact, I’d say it’s the best movie Gordon ever made.
Parts: The Clonus Horror. This one had the potential to be a much better flick than it was. With a better lead actor, I think this one could’ve been saved.
#86 2/3. Master Ninja 1 and 2. Heck, if I’d been a year or so older when it originally aired, I would have watched it unMSTed. A ninja and an A-team van. Cool!
I probably would have done the same as well. Right now, I just appreciate Master Ninja for allowing us to see the real Lee Van Cleef. Sure, he’s playing the oldest American ninja, but he’s such a hard ass in all of his other movies that one can forget that’s he’s still a regular person. I imagine that Master Ninja showed us what Lee Van Cleef was like at home.
If they are horror/sci fi/fantasy movies, I can always watch them. There is no tolerance issue. I watched a lot of them years before MST3K, like Squirm, The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, Horrors of Spider Island, the Undead (and many of the other Cormans), the Universals, etc. I first saw Samson versus the Vampire Women on a show called Reel Wild Cinema, which also spoofed on bad movies and ran on USA back before there was a Comedy Central. Movies that aren’t among those genres I would probably only watch the MSTed version.
This list changes like the weather, but here goes:
1) It Conquered the World. It’s one of my favourite B movies of all time.
2) Earth Versus the Spider and almost anything made by Mr. B.I.G. I grew up on films like this.
3) Godzilla Versus the Sea Monster. I grew up on movies like this, too; plus it has the Mothra Twins!
4) Terror from the Year 5000. This movie actually scared me when I was a kid (and I saw it many times on late-night television). Don’t ask me why, because I couldn’t tell you.
5) Bride of the Monster. I can see why this was Ed Wood’s favourite movie (of his own). How can you go wrong with Bela Lugosi and Tor Johnson? It is pure, charming cheese.
6) I Was a Teenage Werewolf. A pretty great B movie, in my opinion, and Michael Landon did a good job (especially at throwing milk).
7) Puma Man. “You are the Puma Man.” Watching this movie makes me happy; it’s just so silly.
8) The Deadly Mantis. Big bugs are cool.
9) Secret Agent Super Dragon. I like Ray Danton, and it’s got Spy Babes.
10) The Rebel Set. It’s very watchable, with a cool coffee house and music that actually sounds like jazz.
11) Girls Town. A decent movie of its kind (EXCEPT for Paul Anka’s singing), and Mamie is as pleasing as they come. Like fantabulous.
12) Revenge of the Creature, and almost any B “Horror” movie made by Universal Studios (see The Deadly Mantis above). And Lori Nelson rocks!
#81: Thanks for reminding me of Horror of Party Beach. It’s a very fun bad movie! :-))
The Crawling Eye is another film that used to run on UHF channels on weekend “Ghost Host” or “Creature Feature” type programming blocks all the time. I must have seen it literally dozens of times, then didn’t see it again for years till it was on MST3K. And even then it took a while. It was one of only 2 network MST3K episodes that I was not able to catch on Comedy Channel/Central. First time I saw it was at the first Conventio-Con in 1994 in one of the viewing rooms in the hotel. At the Conventio-Con I met someone who was kind enough to provide me with a tape shortly after the event. Anyway, I’m really glad that episode is on the commercial DVD releases, I like to watch it a lot since the movie is kind of fun and it’s fun seeing MST3K breaking in their new network show for the first time.
I enjoy the unMiSTed version of The Black Scorpions, and can watch it over and over. Not sure about the rest of the movies I’ve seen, though I think I would get a kick out of watching Red Zone Cuba and The Girl in Gold Boots. Maybe even The Skydivers…
As the proud owner of WAY TOO MANY of the Mill Creek Entertainment box-o-movies sets, I think a better list would consist of what I would NOT watch Mstied. I’ve tried many, and I remember Puma Man being very painful.
But back to the discussion, there’s always a place in my heart for 1950’s black and white sci-fi films, especially when space exploration or some sort of science experiment gone wrong is involved. Bonus points are scored for having a little star power. So I guess by that definition, Killer Shrews and Beginning of the End are up there. I’ve also always been a sucker for Cave Dwellers-type movies.
I’ll agree with those who have mentioned The Rebel Set. The climatic chase goes on for twice as long as it needs to, but it has some decent performances, well-drawn characters, and it manages to convince you that their heist was something that could’ve happened in the real world. It was by far the “best” movie the show ever did.
And for as cheaply as Time Chasers was made, the fact that it turned out as decently as it did was a friggin’ miracle. All you’d have to do is throw $130 million at the same script and cast Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams as Nick and Lisa and it’d fit right into any multiplex.
There are so many of these it’s scary. Even a lot of the downright awful movies I’d still actually watch on their own. So I guess I’ll stick not just to movies I’d watch on their own, because that is too broad, but to movies I actually think are kind of good in at least some way. In no particular order…
1. Moon Zero Two
2. Kitten With a Whip
3. Space Travelers (Marooned)
4. Phase 4
5. Humanoid Woman
6. Hanger 18
7. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
8. Parts The Clonus Horror
9. Diabolik
There are also the movies I was already a fan of before they were even on MST3000, the main two of which were “Space Mutiny” and “Boggy Creek 2: And the Legend Continues”. A friend and I found Space Mutiny on VHS at a Best Buy a few years before it was on MST and we bought it simply because of the hilarious cover art, as well as the Battlestar Galactica effects screen shots on the back that we noticed right away. Staring Red Brown certainly helped as well, so we just had to see it. It quickly became a big favorite “bad movie” amongst all of our friends, and we often watched it when we all got together. Boggy Creek 2 was a big favorite of my brother and myself for years before it was on MST (as was the first “second” Boggy Creek movie “Return to Boggy Creek” staring Dawn “Mary Ann” Wells and Dana Plato).
Ah yes, there are a few episodes featuring movies I actually like enough to watch on their own. They are:
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (Hey, Raul Julia does a great Bogey)
The Sword and the Dragon (My favorite of the Russo-Finnish epics)
High School Big Shot (I loves me a bit o’ angst and depression)
Gunslinger (Pretty good western)
Moon Zero Two (it was fun)
The TV series that was spliced together to create the Fugitive Alien films (I’ve actually found a few eps of it online)
City Limits (Featuring the acting/writing sibling duo of Don and Keith Opper, responsible for one of my favorite sci-fi/horror franchises, the Critters film series)
The Magic Sword (Seems to me this is the kind of film Peter Jackson would have made in the 60’s)
Has the Touch of Satan been mentioned? If I didn’t know the ending, I think I’d stick with it. Killer Gramma is genuinely creepy, and it seems like every 70s horror movie had a dark, downbeat ending. It Lives by Night had it, as did Track of the Moon Beast, but Touch of Satan had a bit more mystery going for it earlier in the movie to keep me interested. However, it did not have Johnny Longbone’s stew…
The Amazing Colossal Man: Honestly, it’s pretty decent for a 50’s monster movie. I actually felt sympathetic to poor Glenn, all the man wanted was to be normal again…
Earth VS The Spider: It’s better then it’s quasi-remake 8 Legged Freaks.
Robot Monster: What can I say, I love cheesy B movie and this is a MUST-HAVE for any fan of the genre. PUNY HU-MAN! THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
Manos: I actually think that, if it had a better director at the helm, Manos could’ve been a good 60’s horror film. As it is, Torgo and The Master will always share a special space in my heart.
Bride of The Monster: How can you not love Ed Wood?
1. I Accuse My Parents
2. Village of the Giants
These both seem like movies I would have watched with my dad on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. I like I Accuse My Parents because everyone just seems so amiable, even if they’re drunks or gangsters.
3. Any of the fantasy movies: Delta Knights, Gor, Deathstalker.
I grew up on Xena and Hercules, so I’m sucker for anything that’s campy, cheesy, sword-and-sorcery.
4. Girl in Gold Boots.
I like the music.
5. Time Chasers.
Like everyone else, I think this one had a good plot, it just needed an actual budget.
