Monster Movies

You can never go wrong with the "Critters" series. All of them are awesomely cheesy. I strongly recommend the first two. Check out the third one if you want (it may be a weaker entry, but it's still entertaining). The 4th one isn't bad either, but it's no doubt the weakest one in the series.

What, no love for TREMORS? I like the whole series...well, okey, #4 has some moments...kinda...

Nothing wrong with Tremors at all. It fits the bill. Here are some less-obvious offerings:

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) - lots of little monsters.
Inframan (1975) - a martial arts superhero film from China that has monsters that, for some reason, know kung-fu.

Hows about The INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN?(1977)

This movie almost completely defines 1970s drive-in B-movies.  Thanks for mentioning it.

You really need to see Them!. Great story, corny but not too corny. It's a time capsule in itself. Them! has a good bit of Cold War nuclear paranoia in it.
