eefs Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Just my thoughts -- but where are the great "B" films -- This Island Earth Robinson Crusoe on Mars Invaders from Mars (the original, not the dopey comedy remake) Incredible Shrinking Man and so many others. Why doesn't TCM cycle these once in a while? Link to post Share on other sites
joefilmone Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 They are all available on DVD if you can't wait for TCM's next sci-fi festival. Link to post Share on other sites
Destinee Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Good question. I do not know myself. Though, I hear there is a good sci-fi movie coming up in the start of January. "Things to Come" 1936. You should watch it! What a great way to start off the new year, huh?! Those are great movie picks. I am a big sci-fi fan! Maybe we should make a suggestion to TCM. Tired of all the sappy romantic-comdies that TCM plays daily. My quick-picks. It Came From Outer Space 1953 Them! 1954 The Monster that Challenged the World 1957 The Black Scorpion 1957 The Blob 1958 I love the 50s sci-fi'! Ah, the list goes on. Loved talking with you and I hope to chat again soon about sci-fi'! 'Til then, hope you have a very Merry Christmas eefs!!!

ValentineXavier Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It Came From Outer Space 1953 Them! 1954 The Monster that Challenged the World 1957 The Black Scorpion 1957 The Blob 1958 I believe that all of those have been shown in the last year, as was *Shapes of Things to Come*. I'd really like to see *This Island Earth*. It's a favorite of mine, and I don't think TCM has shown it. Link to post Share on other sites
Bablefish Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 One I only see once Mission Stardust Link to post Share on other sites
Destinee Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've never seen either of those films that you named. What is "This Island Earth" about? Link to post Share on other sites
ValentineXavier Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 *This Island Earth* is about an alien planet that enlists Earth scientists to help it in a war with another planet. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047577/ Link to post Share on other sites
scooterjoe Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 TCM does have Creature from the Black Lagoon movies on DVD but not sure of the others.. I would love see then on TCM too. Have not seen them in a long time Link to post Share on other sites
chaney7 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Fact is I got so tired of waiting for what I want to see, ( The Quiet Man on St. Pat's day for instance), I wired the house with CAT-5 cable and brought in Netflix & Hulu though my X-box. Now I not only watch what I want I watch it when I want. I'll probably blow off Direct tv all together. Link to post Share on other sites
megawolf Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 here's a question..how are Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, etc movies classified..are they Scifi, Action/Adventure, or Fantasy? Also, anybdy ever seen the movie Krull on TCM? Link to post Share on other sites
joefilmone Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Simbad movies are fantasy adventure. "Jason" and "Clash of the Titans" are more fantasy epics. Link to post Share on other sites
megawolf Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 so when the heck is TCM going to play "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (original, not that awlful remake) Link to post Share on other sites
