i thought this is probably one of the better films I have seen in the last couple years(and yes this includes good films). So anyone else seen The Quartermass Xperiment and what did you think of it?

Note: this film was titled THE CREEPING UKNOWN in the U.S.

Is this one the original TV mini-series or the film adaption from a year or two later - the one retitled The Creeping Unknown in the U.S.?

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Sorry about that I was refering to the film known here in the U.S. as the THE CREEPING UNKOWN

I think the difference is the TV series spells it properly as "Experiment," whereas the movie has it as "Xperiment."

 I thought it was great!!! Oh..if you like this...try the sequel-ENEMY FROM SPACE(1957) also known as QUARTEMASS II, and the 3rd, and BEST in the series FIVE MILLION YEARS to EARTH (1967) aka QUARTERMASS and the PIT!

Loved Quatermass and the Pit.
As the best of the series Myself as well.
Not to mention it has My favorite Hammer actress
In it .

Take him and cut him into little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I had not seen this movie in a long, long time and then recently I was going over some old VHS tapes that were not labeled and found this film on one of them. I did a little dance of joy and watched it again. I'd love a DVD release.

Thanks for the recommendations. If they're better than the first one this'll be good.

I personally like it best of all the Quatermass films and I think pretty highly of them all. On some days, I might say THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT is my favourite film period. Definitely deserves a quality Region 1 DVD release. Gerry's review at Scifilm I believe is pretty on the spot and one of the things that first attracted me to his website was his Quatermass fandom.
