Yog the Space Ameba
Atragon
Latitude Zero

I think those are the last big Toho movies I haven't seen.

Had a chance to buy Space ameba cheap  at G-Fest a few years ago, but didn't.  Benn kicking myself about it ever since.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

VenomX73

I think all 3 were good, but Im a toho fan :thumbup:

The Amphibian Man.

Saw a faded print version on youtube a year ago.  Even then, it still was fun to watch. Now there is a brillant restored version there (with English subtitles) Looks cheesy at first glance, but grows on you.

"Nothing Lasts Forever"  written and directed by Tom Shiller.  He produced "Schillers Reels" for SNL when it was funny. 

This is a shame MGM is still sitting on this one.  They claim it is due to unspecified "legal difficulties".  There is a bit of music in the score, but... most of them are in public domain or at least super cheap to get rights to.  I cannot think what "legal difficulties" there could be.  But.. DAMN this is a fantastic movie.   

Schiller took a lot of stock footage and inter cut it with his film in a way that Ed Wood would have been jealous if he were alive to see it. The "modern"  footage (shot in 1984) is amazing.  The actors pull off a 1940s style acting that is so believable, you would swear it was actually shot in say 1946.  Zach Galligan (Gremlins) should have gotten an Oscar for this role...IF the film were actually released.  I could go on how amazing this film is..but.. watch it for yourself if you find a copy (not on youtube anymore, but there are sources that still host it online)

I NEED to see:

JONATHAN (1970) - It's a vampire movie. I have an "unofficial" DVD (that I bought from Video Search of Miami before they went out of business). The colors are nearly washed out (to the point that it basically looks like a black & white movie) and the picture quality isn't very good. I watched about 30 minutes of it and it's still sitting on my shelf. I'd love to see an official blu-ray release.



Sounds like this is a job for Vinegar Syndrome to save the day.

Would love to see some of the OOP Something Weird titles that I haven't been willing to pay big bucks for. Things like Please Don't Eat My Mother. Also, there is a Herschel Gordon Lewis box set I haven't watched some of the movies in. It's going for $265 on eBay now. I found it a while back for $150 and was seriously considering getting it, but I have way too much stuff already I still have to watch. If I find it for $150 again I still might pull the trigger.

YOG is one of my favorite non-Godzilla Toho movies. I don't know why...!



I think it's the wiggle in the giant octopus's walk!

I seen this trailer on late night TV back in 1971- I was hooked!
