Re: "Them"

I have DVDs of almost all of the great 1950s SciFi movies. I think my
collection is about 20 DVDs. All the greats and some really stupid movies
that they they too are classics such as "Teenagers from Outer Space" or
"I Married a Monster From Outer Space".

Is this an Off Topic Topic?

Re: "Them"

Well, it may be OT; but it’s fun for this person who was 9 years old in 1954, and his Mom took him to see his first sci-fi movie, which was "Them”! I still remember parts of the movie.

Re: "Them"

The first Sci Fy movie I remember seeing was "The Forbidden Planet" at the Studio Theater on First Street in San Jose, California -- it was probably 1956 and I was 9 years old. My oldest sister who was 15 years old at the time took me and my other sister who was 11.

Re: "Them" and "others"

In reply to this post by Rick Commo-2

An "off-topic" comment about "off-topic" comments..........

99% of the time, they're enjoyable. However, if there's still the related
"off-topic" posts going on for weeks afterwards, they're down right
obnoxious !

Personally, I erase most of the stuff I type when I wait a few minutes
before actually sending it. After a while I realize I'm part of the
problem and delete the comment. If I feel that it is just too good NOT to
send (Hah) I'll send it directly to one person, not the whole group.

The other sci-fi movie that scared the heck out of me was "Five". I can
still remember the skeleton staring out of the bus. I rented it recently
from Netflix and it seems pretty tame now.

Re: "Them"

My Parents would watch Outer Limits and I hide behind my mother a lot. It scared the heck out of me. Then when I was a teenager I
would watch the B movies on Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoons.
