Forbidden Planet is one of the best films of all time. I watched The Blob last night and while it doesn’t compare to Forbidden Planet was still entertaining.

Forbidden Planet, Day The Earth Stood Still & examples you cite R Classics. Bigger remakes, with size & special effects over doses don't even come close to hiding lower quality acting, plots, direction & editing. With a few exceptions, like The Matrix? Hollywood, the past 20 yrs, has declined into a hollow shell of what it once was. .....yep............how could one ever forget the great Dimitri Tiomkin's hauntingly eerie score on the original "The Thing"?......................great stuff youtube.com I watched them all as a kid in the 50s/60s growing up in the NYC area on Channel 11's "Chiller Theater" every Saturday night. ....original montage opening youtube.com ....later 6 finger hand out of the swamp opening youtube.com ....here's one of my favorites........albeit lesser known........."The Crawling Eye"..........great screenplay by Jimmy Sangter of Hammer fame youtube.com .......another dailymotion.com ......a third.......the original..................They're here already......YOU'RE NEXT! youtube.com
