(I'm not making this up I swear!) Well the animals start to grow huge and all hell breaks loose. It's a little dated but still watchable, riding the thin edge between good entertainment and bad B-movie.
- Trivia: You remember Ida Lupino from the "Twilight Zone" episode "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine"

- True Believer (1989) law and order suspense added 20 Aug 09
- starring James Woods, Robert Downey Jr
- Regularly a lawyer defending in drug cases, James Woods decides to take a case to re-try a murder conviction. Robert Downey Jr is his law clerk. Twists and turns and a surprise ending.
- Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) science-fiction adventure added 20 Aug 09
- starring Peter Strauss and Molly Ringwald, Ernie Hudson, Andrea Marcovicci and Michael Ironside
- When three women crash onto a desert planet, the reward for them sends bounty-hunter Peter Strauss to get them. But the planet has been subject to a plague for many years, which has affected its previously human inhabitants. While trying to track them he finds Molly Ringwald an androgynous waif-like mongrel who becomes his side-kick.
- At first it looks like a Mad Max on Planet X, but it also has pretty decent sets and creatures, with some eye candy as well. Imaginative.
- Ghostbusters (1984) fantasy comedy added 20 Aug 09
- starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Annie Potts, William Atherton and Ernie Hudson
- Three paranormal investigators (Murray, Aykroyd and Ramis) set themselves up as ghost exterminators, with Annie Potts as their secretary, Sigourney Weaver as their first client, Rick Moranis as her neighbor. Once the trio's business takes off they hire Ernie Hudson as extra help. Quite possibly the best "ghost comedy" movie ever made. Don't miss it.

- The Bourne Identity (1988) law and order suspense added 19 Aug 09
- Part 14 (for some reason not in the playlist)
- starring Richard Chamberlain, Jaclyn Smith Anthony Quayle, Donald Moffat
- remade in 2002 starring Matt Damon
- A man washes ashore in a French village with no memory of who he is. Strange flashbacks and unusual and dangerous encounters lead to sinister possibilities.
- Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1974) horror added 19 Aug 09
- Made in Italy, dubbed for American release. Count Frankenstein brings to life several dead bodies. Some female nudity and sexual situations. Bizarre and intricate.
- Click this link for a complete write-up on this B-movie written by anonymous, hosted at B Movie Central website
- The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (1952, 1962) fantasy adventure added 19 Aug 09
- Sinbad seeks to release the people of the city of Covasan from tyranny.
- This film originally created in 1952 in Russian, was re-cut and dubbed with the oversight of James Landis for an American release in 1962. Elaborate sets and costumes, very interesting for that alone. Not a Harryhausen movie, but if you like him, you'll love this.
- Speed Racer: The Movie animated adventure added 19 Aug 09
- Four episodes. In the first episode, Speed meets a wealthy man who hates cars, because his son was killed in an accident, and has hired some gangsters to cause traffic accidents.
- I'm not sure exactly what this is. Obviously it is not the live-action 2008 movie, but I can't find any other detail about this "movie". Perhaps it's merely four episodes from the TV-series stuck back-to-back. Speed Racer is nostalgia for the 40ish male crowd, but it's seems very dated and trite.
- A Lot Like Love (2005) romance comedy added 19 Aug 09
- starring Ashton Kutcher, Amanda Peet
- Ashton Kutcher has a sexual encounter on a plane, and then keeps running into the same girl, having friendly or romantic encounters over several years, even though she claims he isn't her type.
- Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11

- starring Mike Vogel, Vince Vieluf, Adam Brody, Joey Kern, Jennifer Morrison, Randy Quaid
- also notice.. how curious... Erin Murphy wasn't she the child "Tabitha" from Bewitched?
- Four skateboarding buddies follow their idol, trying to get noticed. Funny and cute. Like a teen summer movie only better.
- The Kings of South Beach (2007), made-for-TV real-life law and order drama added 18 Aug 09
- starring Donnie Wahlberg, Jason Gedrick, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Brian Goodman
- Frank John Hughes, Steven Bauer
- Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10
- The true story of South Miami Beach nightclub promoter Chris Paciello (Jason Gedrick) and his best-friend Andy Burnett (Donnie Wahlberg), involving drugs, models and the mob.
- Starship Invasions (aka Project Genocide) (1977) science-fiction added 18 Aug 09
- starring Robert Vaughn, Christopher Lee
- Space aliens whose sun is dying, seek a new planet to colonize, so they visit Earth. Meanwhile other space aliens want to stop them. Although Robert Vaughn gives a reasonable performance as a scientist who is enlisted to help the good aliens, some of the actors in this B-movie are pretty bad. Only watch on a slow night, lots of other good stuff to see first.
