Old Movies.

[Pearl]

Every week my youngest grandson and I are watching what he calls Momar movies! Old c*** and funny! I'm trying not to take personally. So far we've watched, the original Village of the Danmed, the original War of the World's and the original Day of the Triffids, next week we're watching the original The Fog and I have Quatermass and the Pit coming tomorrow but that's the genre we're looking for can anyone think of more of these? The more death and destruction the better, we're either easing a brilliant forestic, behaviour expert or a phycopath.

TPTV encore ?

 

[Pearl]

Just had Google that. What found is quite interesting so I'll dig deeper thank you.

Every single one of those would be in my top ten list of favourites

The grandson agrees with you

Any of the Hammer horror films for me.
If they have Michael Ripper in then all the better.
Also the Dr Phibes films with Vincent Price are brilliant.

I was thinking about Vincent Price films, can you name a couple of good ones and I'll look for them, thank you.

 

[ferret]

The Abominable DrPhibes, Dr Phibes Rises Again, The Monster Club, Theatre Of Blood… he really hams it up!!

 

[Pearl]

I need to make a list, thank you I'll look for those.

Witchfinder General if often offered up as a classic but was deemed very controversial Mark Kermode from BBC reviews it on You Tube which you may wish to view first before watching it.

I'll look for that thank you, it sounds like something I'll need to watch before we show him. My daughters main concern is nudity, he knows all the swear words, not that he's allowed to say them.

 

[RickAns]

I recognize the names of a few of those movies. Sounds like some of them could be on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" or "MST3K " as it is affectionately known as.

 

[Pearl]

Yes Rick that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Thank you.

Not sure how well a few movies I can think of at the moment would rate with you both. I really liked them when I saw them as an early teen growing up - still like them today.

"Death Race 2000" - with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. A cross country car race where the goal is to (humorously) score points by running over pedestrians. He would probably like the cars and the theme of the movie. There is a little bit of nudity if I recall.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072856/

"Rollerball" Is about a violent sport which is a combination of roller derby and roller skating. He would probably like the game and action scenes. If I remember it felt a little long in some places at a 2 hour run time when they focused more on story telling. Not sure of his attention span for long-ish movies. Can't recall about any nudity but it is a 70's flick.

Rollerball (1975) ⭐ 6.5 | Action, Sci-Fi, Sport

2h 5m | AA

www.imdb.com

Thought of another:
"The Italian Job" - Michael Caine schemes up a gold heist with Mini Cooper cars in Turin. Great action and car chase scenes.

The Italian Job (1969) ⭐ 7.2 | Action, Comedy, Crime

1h 39m | PG

www.imdb.com

Or are you seeking older movies in black and white with a thriller / horror type bent?

"The Day the Earth Stood Still" - aliens being aliens.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) ⭐ 7.7 | Drama, Sci-Fi

1h 32m | U

www.imdb.com

TV series:

"The Twilight Zone" was /is an amazing series. The episode "To Serve Man" an episode about aliens visiting Earth.

"The Twilight Zone" To Serve Man (TV Episode 1962) ⭐ 9.0 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror

25m | 12

"The Outer Limits" another great series back in the day.

The Outer Limits (TV Series 1995–2002) ⭐ 7.7 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror

Rick that's great research thank you.1, he'd like the running over people way more than the cars but his mother's one rule, no nudity.
2, The Italian Job is up there in my top five films but again a smidgen of nudity. ( you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off) is my top movie quote of all time.
3, That one is on the list, I love that film.
4, Good idea, I'll look into that, we had a series called Tails of the Unexpected which was brilliant so I'll look into that too.
5, I haven't seen that but I'll look fir it.
Thank you Rick you've given me a lot to look for.

Rollerball is a classic

 

[RickAns]

Tails of the Unexpected as you mentioned is another great show. I see that Leonard Nimoy is in the first episode from them. For some reason I feel that there is a series similar, if not the same, that he did an intro or some narration for the show episodes.

Found it, "In Search of..." The show investigates mysterious phenomena, UFO's, Bigfoot, lost civilizations.

In Search of... (TV Series 1976–1982) ⭐ 8.4 | Documentary, Drama, Fantasy

30m | Not Rated

"Blow the bloody doors off!" is a Micheal Caine classic quote.

If I think of anything else I will chime in. Was a 'B' film junky for the longest time, but unfortunately not sought them out for quite a while. I enjoy thrillers but not much of a fan of horror films.

Have you seen "The Game" with Micheal Douglas?

The Game (1997) ⭐ 7.7 | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

2h 9m | 15

www.imdb.com

or "The Usual Suspects" ?

The Usual Suspects (1995) ⭐ 8.5 | Crime, Drama, Mystery

1h 46m | 18

www.imdb.com

Both are really well done and have intricate plot lines. Not suggesting them for your grandson. The logistics behind the scenes of the plot line of The Game amazes me.

Sorry, may have gone off on a tangent, again, while trying to help.

I really like old movies, I like old spy movies but not with the Grandson watching.

 

[captain clutterbuck]

One of my favourites ever which never gets a mention is the Tailor of Panama . In January they showed some of the Ealing Classics on the BEEB and the wonderful Whiskey Galore[not the remake] which I would watch at any time alongside the Quiet Man.
