Subject: RE: BS: favorite old sci-fi movie
There was that one about giant (radioactive) creatures from the illegal waste dumping for which John Sayles did the screenplay that was pretty good. Except I can't deal with with pets stolen for lab research.

Personally I thought the original *Alien* rated about a 3. This great intriguing alien spacecraft proving we are not alone in the universeand it is only there to show you these egg-things will eat you. Besides which I could see the white square under the first victim's t-shirt where the creepy thing erupted. I am glad the cat made it. Usually the pet goes first to demonstrate the reality of danger. There have been a rash of dead horses in movies lately and I'm skipping any movies with horses for a long time.

Matrix. that last installment I thought was OK (just OK) until those transformer-like battle armor things. That was so totally stupid.

I and sibs weren't allowed to go see scary movies when we were kids (which doesn't mean we missed them all) so I immersed myself in the rerun theaters when I moved to da big city.

Anybody else    remember Vincent Price's *Tingler?* Campy beyond belief.

I loved *Ed Wood* so much my boyfriend at the time insisted on buying *Plan 9* -- he was surprised it was so very bad, and insisted on giving it to me when we broke up. It gets funnier every time.
