Movie Suggestions?

Post by Black Lion »

Looking for suggestions of films to watch from this era, doesn't have to specifically be Toho produced or even Japanese, just science fiction / monster movies you think deserve a viewing
Gamera: Guardian of Earth and Friend of All Children*

*except those who are currently out of his immediate field of vision. Sorry.

It seems the Toho films have been effectively covered, but some other sci-fi/monster films are worth a look.

Sci-fi:
The Time Machine
The Day the Earth stood still- the original, not the remake
When Worlds Collide
War of the Worlds
20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea
Journey to the Center of the Earth (195?)
Incredible Shrinking Man

Monster:
THEM
The Thing From Another World
Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
The Monolith Monsters
King Kong
Creature from the Black Lagoon
20 Million Miles to Earth
Plan Nine from outer Space- It's so bad it's funny. You have to see it at least once.
Day of the Triffids (196?)
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Invisble Man - It has a whipping scene.
What's Up, Tiger Lily? - Egg salad.
Prophecies of Nostradamus - Schlocky exploitation with a tinge of Aesop. Well worth seeking out.

If you want some monster movies, I suggest...

Frankenstein vs. Baragon (1965)
Rodan (1956)
Mothra (1961)
King Kong Escapes (1967)

And these ones aren't Toho, but still worth a watch...

Reptilicus (1961)
Gappa (1967)
20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)
Daimajin (1966)
