THEM on a hotel TV on vacation in the states when I was 11.

Later, Invasion from Mars (?). About the boy who watches an UFO landing, his dad goes out to investigate and comes back strangely changed? Creeped me out.

Earlier, Arsenic and Old Lace, both funny and creepy, Ladykillers also.

The Poe adaptions with Vincent Price, somehow also the Mr. Moto series with Peter Lorre.

Plante of the Apes.

INVADERS FROM MARS  That movie is a classic.  The '80s remake is good too.

I can't remember something specific, but I do watching these a lot in my younger days: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the TV version of Ghost Busters, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Happy Gilmore, Jurassic Park, Cinderella, Aladdin and all 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies from the 1990's.

alice in wonderland-1954. we had just moved back to the states fron newfoundland, i was 4, saw it at the drivein. hooked forever. for horror movies, a drivein triple feature of dracula,frankenstein and the mummy, the B&W versions, when i was 6.


Alice In Wonderland (1954) - do you mean this one?

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 Small | Large


I loved the Disney version (1951) ever since I was a kid, although I saw Fantasia (1940) in the cinema, as well as Star Wars (1977). Now that I think of it, I wonder why the cinema screened a 1940s movie in the 70s. Must have been a kids thing?

The first 'bad movies' I saw were dubbed versions of the Toei kaiju movies, like Ghidora vs Mothra. I watched many golden age movies when they played on the Sunday midday movie slot, lots of Abbott and Costello, Marx brothers, that sort of thing.

But Star Wars (1977) was the first movie that blew me away as a kid.

My Earliest movie memory is watching Dr. No at the drive-in.  I remember pestering my parents to get an aquarium in our house just like Dr. No had.     I probably even asked Santa for one... never got it though.

    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.
