I always have fun watching Thing From Another World, but I think Creature From the Black Lagoon is really rather plodding and uninspiring. |
Now you've got me thinking about my Top Ten list. I'm gonna have to think about what my actual all time favorites are. I love Gojira, i can say without hesitation that it is my favorite horror and favorite movie of all time. It's not a fun movie, it's not supposed to be. It's a dark, bleak monster movie that is representative of the Japanese fears caused by the bombs dropped on Hiroshima. It is sad, and scary which in my opinion make the best horror movies.
I also really like Creature From The Black Lagoon. I am of course partial to monster movies and i just found this one very well done. Along with movies like Gojira, Rodan, and Frankenstein, Creature had a lot of drama and heart mixed in making the monster more then just a special effect and an actual character.

I might take out Found Footage Day and make it Giant Monster Day with Godzilla.
Also: I still need to see Changeling and Phibes. |
Giant Monster Day is much better than Found Footage day. Unless you combine the two and watch Cloverfield.
Changeling and Phibes are excellent. You should really check them out.
