Redoing the 60s and 70s since I only did 10 movies with the flawed rating system
I seen ALL except the STARFIGHTERS, INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN, CATALINA CAPER, and FIVE THE HARD WAY.
1. Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) TORGO!
2. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) This was a chore.
3. The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961) For some reason I found it relaxing...like white noise.
4. Monster a Go-Go (1965) Same as above.
5. Red Zone Cuba (1966) So cheap, it was amazing.
6. Eegah (1962) It had Richard Kiel and Arch Hall- who sings! :thumbup:
7. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964) I don't know- this movie is memorizing.
8. The Skydivers (1963) Awful.
9. The Wild World of Batwoman (1966) I'll watch anything made by Jerry Warren.
10. Horrors of Spider Island (1960) I LOVE this movie. It's one of my favorite BAD movies of all time. OF ALL TIME.
11. Girl in Gold Boots (1968) Moronic drivel.
13. The Horror of Party Beach (1964) Love it.
14. Orgy of the Dead (1965) It's...Ed Wood!
16. Monstrosity (1963) Mindless fun.
17. The Astro-Zombies (1968) Tura! John Carradine!
18. Sax Rohmer's The Castle of Fu Manchu (1969) Eh- It's got Christopher Lee.
Barbara Valintine is the main reason I watched the HORROR OF SPIDER ISLAND.
Over 10 times. Because I have it on vhs, and didn't have cable.

You should do some 1950's ones!

I will after doing the extended editions
With the exception of "Orgy of the Dead" and "Astro-Zombies," these are all MST3K episodes. I've seen all of them that way except "Invasion of the Neptune Men," which escaped me somehow. I've seen "Beast of Yucca Flats," "The Skydivers," "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman," "Orgy of the Dead," "Monstrosity" [AKA "The Atomic Brain"], "Manos," "Horrors of Spider Island," and "Astro-Zombies" on their own. (And "Eegah, I think).
Only seen Santa Claus Conquers the Martians all the way through, tho I've seen bits of Manos, Strange Creatures, & Spider Island.
The Beast of Yucca Flats, Orgy of the Dead, The Horror of Party Beach, Girl in Gold Boots, The Wild World of Batwoman, Red Zone Cuba, The Skydivers, Eegah, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Monster a Go-Go
Whatta pile a poop!
Five things I'm glad happened to me instead of me seeing any of those films:
1. I stubbed my toe one night heading to bed, and while dancing in pain, stubbed another toe.
2. I got sunburned walking home from the library, age eleven, because my time-dysfunctional mother was two hours late to get me.
3. A hornet once stung my left ankle while I was playing high stakes hide and seek, causing me to lose.
4. I bit my tongue trying to shatter a frozen Skittle left in my car in college, and later found a dribble of blood frozen on my steering wheel.
5. When looking for arrowheads in 2003, I slipped on a muddy creek bank, dropped several feet, and whacked my tailbone so hard on an outcropped rock that my lower back went black and blue for a fortnight.
One can only take so much agony in life, and seeing those movies would have pushed me over the edge.
^ But this is BAD movies. That's the whole premise...!

I can assure you, Santa Clause Conquers isn't as bad as bruising your back, biting your tongue, or stubbing both toes. The first half of the movie is kinda like a 50's alien invasion movie, except the aliens don't want to take over the world; they just want to kidnap Santa. The 2nd half plays out like a few episodes of Star Trek or Stargate with the humans (Santa & the kids) teaching the aliens to adopt earth's cultural practices, & the aliens resisting.
It might be dumb, but it's not painful. I rather enjoyed it.
^ I never watched it because Santa Claus always gave me the willies.
And yet I watched SANTA CLAUS AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY, which is one of the most painful movies ever made. Go figure.
