Yes I enjoyed all 3 including THE VELVET VAMPIRE which is poop.
I will say that both THE THING and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS are not perfect and cracks (particularly in the scripts) have begun to show.

With Invasion, I've always wondered when exactly Leonard Nimoy and Donald Sutherland's characters became pods?  Question

Good.  LEONARD NIMOY is apparently part of the pod plot as he early in the film leaves DONALD SUTHERLAND and thengets in a car with ART HINDLE the pod person boyfriend of BROOKE ADAMS whom she suspects right from the git go.  It was not apparent at any point when LEONARD NIMOY became a podder, but it was early on.

After watching the Thing, be sure to read The Things short story by Hugo-winning writer Peter Watts.  It's a first person POV of the same story, from the opposite perspective.  It's free here:

The audio version on that site is also quite good, if you prefer that.  Only about an hour too.

Yeah.  I should re-read it though, I honestly can't remember it at all, I read it in high school.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
