MST3K Movies that were actually decent...

[Flangepart]

I really like The Black Scorpion.  I think it has some great stop-motion work, an interesting dark atmosphere and is one of the better giant animal on the loose films of the time period.  Why it never seems to get mention with other noticeable films of the era like Them or The Giant Claw is strange.

I don't see how "Them" is comparable to "The Giant Claw", which felt pretty abysmal for a big studio production, especially with that strange bird puppet.

Oh, yeah. TGC is to THEM what Boloney is to steak.

Oh, and BTW...

I said "noticeable".   O.K. I admit I worded my sentence to make it sound like both films are masterpieces.  Really I meant that when I find discussions of the monster films of the atomic age, these are two films that I often find mentioned.  One for being the classic that it is, and the other for its camp value.  I think more people could recognize the Giant Claw first, before the black scorpion.  The Black Scorpion, to me at least really gets overlooked. I'd put it above say...Tarantula or Giant Spider Invasion

Yeah. My first MST3K was TBScorpion, and I laughed my a$$ off. Still liked it when I saw the TCM broadcast. Fun flick, fun riff. A double pleasure for me.

I genuinely like DIABOLIK. 
Ditto THE REBEL SET, THE GIANT GILA MONSTER and TEENAGERS FROM SPACE, rear-projected lobster and all 
JACK FROST was okay too.

Sadly, I haven't watched that many episodes of MST3K (that I can recall at least) I did just discover "Danger Diabolik" last week...watched it on a marvelous DVD remastered print.   Saw the movie unriffed..and was blown away. 
Watched the MST3K episode and I can see why they riffed it.. it was a bad print..pan and scan..so a lot of the amazing camera work evaporated...made it look like a campy, cheesy mess.. It's not.

I should go back and watch more epsisods

I like the weird Russian Jack Frost  -- visually it's stunning

Bride of the Monster is ok -- if the octopus was working, it'd probably pass for a good movie by most

I really like Master Ninja 1 and 2

Gamera is really good

I like Hobgoblins, Teenagers from Outer Space and Robot Monster because they're so bad they're good

which one had Robert Reed? that's a good one (1961) i think it came out in, there's one near the end of the KTMA season that i love i forget the name of it off the top of my head but i agree not all of them are terrible. the only thing that bugs me is the ones that are actually good get a low rating cause it's on the show and it's not always because they are bad
