This film was plain awful. "The Monolith Monsters"

This is ideal for people who love movies that are so bad that they are great fun...

This is the start of my Roger Corman season (He made quite a few cheapo films).
Plain daft......

Corman's monster films are so bad they're good but his series of Edgar Allan Poe films are a different matter. Also, his westerns like 'Five Guns West', 'Apache Woman' and 'Gunslinger' are worth a look.

Thanks for the heads up........I found a stack of his films for free on the wonderful Bing Video site yesterday....I saw "Pit & The Pendulum" at the cinema about five years ago and it was great--Vincent Price playing up to the camera was so funny....I have saved some of the Edgar Allan Poe films.....V P was a fantastic actor.

Rarely gets shown unlike Apocalypse Now

I have "Hamburger Hill" to see again.
I first saw it in New York when it was first released.

I am continuing my Roger Corman season tomorrow.

What I have found just by chance "The Beast Of Yucca Flats" (1961)
It stars Tor Johnson from the Ed Wood stable

I was impressed with Vietnam movie "Platoon"----This morning I have just seen the much lesser known "Hamburger Hill" which is much more graphic.
"Hamburger Hill"
See it for free....https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=hamburger+hill+full+movie+free&&mid=1462CEDAE055186C45441462CEDAE055186C4544&&FORM=VRDGAR

I used to see quite a few NT productions when they used to show them in Barna.Unfortunately they don't seem to do that anymore.IIRC think the revival of Amadeus was the last one ,which I can remember first seeing in the WE the day Charles & Dianna got hitched.Still I'll be going there soon to see Nye.

We have just booked tickets to see "Nye".

From IMDb Roger Corman's films tend to be cheap and cheerful but this one's mostly just cheap. Mind you, the thin plot (baddies take a group of hostages) has been used for some $100,000,000 movies as well. Thirty minutes of talk, padded out with irrelevant songs.

This one is appallingly brilliant!

Hacksaw Ridge.

Really like it and the back story is quite remarkable.

Desmond Doss: The Real Story

On April 1, 1942, Desmond Doss joined the United States Army. Little did he realize that three and a half years later, he would be standing on the White House lawn, receiving the nation's highest award for his bravery and courage under fire. Of the 16 million men in uniform during World War II...

Field Punishment No. 1 (2014) - rarely ever show on network television, a great (anti) war film imho

Dune part one. Quite a spectacle

Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day
