One of my favorites, it never gets old.

^ Any movie I've ever seen, that Ray Harryhausen was involved in, has been worth watching.


And as long as I'm here...




B&W sci-fi thriller about an unusual object which appears on the viewer of a scientist's telescope, enters the Earth's atmosphere, and crashes into the ocean off the coast of Mexico. A large robotic machine eventually emerges from the ocean and runs amok, sucking up electrical energy from power plants, while on its way to a stockpile of nuclear weapons in America.

War-action flick told in flashback style. The Commander of aircraft operations on an aircraft carrier in the Korean war, reminisces about his time serving as Fighter Squadron Commander on the same carrier during WWII, while fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. A good bit of actual combat footage from WWII is added to the movie, but it's blended into the action quite well and doesn't interfere with the story or vibe like it sometimes does in other war films which use that same technique.

B&W sci-fi/monster flick about a rocket carrying a payload of wasps into space for an experiment, which malfunctions and veers off course and crashes in a remote area of Africa. Several of the wasps survive the crash and mutate due to being overexposed to cosmic radiation during the flight. They grow to an enormous size and begin to terrorize the wildlife and the local natives. The two scientists in charge of the space experiment, find out about reports of giant monsters wreaking havoc in central Africa, and decide to travel there to investigate.

This was one of those films that seems to drag on longer than the running time. It clocks in at 71 minutes, but it seemed to be twice as long as it actually was. Much of the film is spent showing the scientists and their entourage, trekking through the African bush, plains, and jungle, which just made the movie drag on.

Nothing says “low budget” like having a bunch of people walk around a lot. Still, I have a fondness for grade B 50’s sci-fi flicks featuring giant animals or insects, so I might view that one sometime.

How do you see most of these older movies you’ve been posting about, Psi-Fi? I know YouTube has a lot of these older movies.

Yes, I've been watching most of them on YouTube. Once in a while I'll come across one somewhere else, that isn't on YouTube, but usually I find them there.

Sci-fi adventure into the world of "inner space" below the waves. An underwater "city" made up of several airtight structures, is constructed and anchored to the sea floor, to conduct an experiment to see if humans can live underwater in such an environment. The acting wasn't bad but the special effects were ridiculous and the story just plodded along without much of interest happening for the most part until the action picked up a bit during the last few minutes of the film.
