Bambi meets Godzilla sounds like Riverwind on a date. --FLO--

Wiki talks about it here:

You can see it, in all its glory here:

The Ants. Those giant ants in the radioactive desert are imprinted in my brain.

Like the kid in the original, "Invasion from Mars". The sand pit with audio. And the those marks on the back of the neck.

Those are memories! All without CGI.

the Hollywood Kid

The ants one was called "Them"

I loved both versions of Invasion From Mars and "Them" was great too.

Then again, I'm the only person on this planet who enjoyed "Battlefield Earth" so what does that tell you

Just remembered another one...though not from the 50s...

Death Race 2000 the original was pure camp but even today you can joke around with people and say that person is worth 500 points.

Considering all the horrible puns River has told in here, I think he must be worth 1,200 points by now

P.S. I liked Kronos too

Mac, read the book "Battlefield Earth" then watch the movie again and see it you still like it. Then again the book is 3 inches thick so maybe you should stick with the movie after all.

No and I think humbly glad that I missed that one but it sounds like a block buster er right.

As I was reading this thread one movie came to mind, it was a red beach ball, "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". must be the very worst of the "B" rated Sci-Fi movies from the 50's.

There were some that were better, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Rodan and Tarantula were some of my favorites.

Then there was of course Godzilla, Bambi meets Godzilla, Godzilla is Awake and the other 57 Godzilla movies. Bambi meets Godzilla was the best, 1969 short won all sorts of awards, do any of you remember it?

If you don't
