Not to break up the combo of classic cinema, but the last film I just watched was Ice Age III: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
Difficult to compare it to these films, but worth a watch at least once anyway, in my humble opinion. Good franchise I'd say.

Here's another one I watched a while ago...
 Beauty and the Liquid People (also known as Beauty and liquid human and The H-Man) (1958) Japanese sci-fi/horror flick from the 50's, filmed in color. A hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific Ocean, creates a gelatinous blob of radioactive goo which takes on a life of its own and absorbs any people in its path as it makes its way from the ocean to Japan. I watched the original Japanese release with English subtitles. The story was ridiculous but fairly entertaining and the color photography was gorgeous. One of those movies where I find myself being more interested in the period clothing, hairstyles, cars, and overall vibe, than the story itself.

That's one thing I like about older movies, especially older "B" pictures--the period detail is really good in a lot of cases. Call me nitpicky, but it's a bit annoying to see a bigger budget picture like Badlands (1973), which is set in the 1950s, feature a Texaco station sign that wasn't used until the 1960s. |

 Cry Vengeance (1954) Crime thriller about a former cop who is released from prison after serving time for a bribery charge which he was framed on. He is obsessed with seeking revenge against the man he believes is responsible for the deaths of his wife and child in a bomb blast which was meant for him shortly before he was set up and sent to prison.

 He Walked by Night (1948) Low budget B&W semi-documentary style crime thriller, which is loosely based on the real-life crimes committed by Erwin Walker in 1946. Featuring an early appearance by Jack Webb before he went on to create the 'Dragnet' radio show and TV series which is also loosely based on real-life crimes. The story was fairly close to the actual events but after looking up Erwin Walker in Wikipedia, the full story of his criminal activities would've made for a far more interesting script. I guess there's only so much that can be crammed into a movie with a running time of 80 minutes, though.
