For me, it is one of those films that is so good that I don't care about the things that "don't work" . It is credible and so it works...for me. Not everyone's cup of iced tea.

Yep - van der Graaf generators running amok!

That was generous of the journalist. They don't make them like that now.

It's a lot of fun! But I ...my friend wasn't scared at all.

Are we still up for watching some more? I was thinking War of the Worlds or maybe The Incredible Shrinking Man next, if so.

How about watching the earth, as well as the skies? Are we sure they got all those seedlings?

Sure but watched both again recently

If it was made now, those seedlings would make it a franchise! Boooooo

Suggestions?

No, neither was I. Interesting and enjoyable, and it was a pleasant hour and a bit. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, now that I know that nothing much really happens, to pay more attention to some of what they are saying.

The Thing from Another World part 26: Revenge of the Gardener.

I can't remember being really frightened by any film/TV: I was more scared by books - because of what my imagination created from the text. One invents one's own rats - as in Room 101.

Now that's a compliment! Have you any requests, film watch wise?

See the film play the record Bob Carrot and the Monster Wailers...

I'm not interested in horror as such, but half-way decent SF is fine.

I am trying, but failing, to imagine a horror film starring Alan Titchmarsh.

Plenty good SF from 60's and 70's on YT. Forbidden Planet? The Day the Earth Stood Still? Andromeda Strain?? And loads more.

Shall we step out of the 50s then? I was thinking of the andromeda strain actually

What is 'Enemy Mine' like? I've always been intrigued by the premise, but have never seen it. Any good?

Or how about 'Solaris'? I saw that years ago, but would like to see it again.

That's about a disease isn't it? In that case, would you mind if I gave it a miss? Those are films that really freak me out.

Please note that I am not trying to make you not show it. I am quite happy to miss a week, and com back when there is something more to my liking.

Do you mean the original or the remake?

I can see where you're coming from. This film would, indeed, freak you out. Quite intense in parts. I'll come up with something to suit all...no monsters....no germs...
