Trying to find old scifi movies?
I thought I would ask the board that knows all.
I have a moderate collection of old scifi movies- mostly from the 50's and 60's. There are 2 I have been searching for. One is named Kohoutek(sp?), which is a blob type attack. The other is harder, as I can not remember the name. It is about a robot invasion- mankind finally destroys by accidentally cracking its face shield with sound- probably the forerunner of Mars Attacks. I have tried the google searchs, etc. Are there any active groups I could ask? These were both "hit" movies at the time, so I'm sure film collectors would know of them. I'm trying to find some of these old films- the ones that scared me to death when I was 8. Does anyone remember their favorite old film- cost a nickle to get in. Thanks Gary |

The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) isn't as old, but it's one of my favorites.

I have a decent Sci-Fi and Horror collection as well. Most were taped from AMC when they first started and commercial free. Others I've picked here and taped there. (Just picked up a DVD transfer of Robinson Crusoe on Mars...love it!)
One of my favorites was shown on PBS many years ago at like 2AM...Somehow I managed to tape. I never heard of it nor saw it again...I'll have to dig it up and give you the name. Was a trilogy of creepy vignettes. Remember Creature Feature and Chiller Theater? Anyway, I'll keep my eyes opened for you.... Can ask here as well: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=329&page=5&order=desc

Was it Trilogy of Terror? I haven't seen that for ages. Really enjoyed it when it came out.

Whats the name of that video store next to the Nuart on Santa Monica Blvd? I'm SURE they could get these films for you. I just cant remeber the name of the place.

RE: the broken face plates :
There was a Ray Harryhausen movie from the 50s in which sound was used to bring down the baddies, but I do not remember if it broke faceplates.. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

Nope...I knew someone would guess that one.  That was pretty good though. The one I have is from the 30s-40s.
