25 GOOD REASONS TO WATCH OLDE MOVIES Part 02

 Life without history is meaningless! So where are we at in the wheel of life?  5% or 93%? 

Your guess is as good as mine, but all I know is that there's a Helluva lot of good reasons to look back, because the future looks dim, but the past is still a shining star!

So, here they are, 25 more reasons to appreciate the past, in no particular order!

#26 - Agnès Spaak - "The Secret Of Dr. Orloff"  (1964)

#27 - Barbara Eden - "I Dream Of Jeannie"

 #28 - Barbara Steele - "Black Sabbath" etc, etc, etc!

 #29 - Barboura Morris - "Bucket Of Blood" & "Wasp Woman" So mouth watering, it makes me want to Barbecue something!

 #30 - Carolyn (Morticia Addams) Jones

 #31 - Daliah Lavi - "The Silencers" "Some Girls Do"

 #32 - Dany Carrel - "The Hands Of Orlac"

#33 - Isn't this just the cutest damn picture you've ever seen of Diana Rigg in your life?

It was in mine!

 #34 - Elizabeth Montgomery - "Bewitched"

 #35 - Elke Sommer

When I was digging around looking for photos, sometimes I ended up with more than one. It's not that I necessarily like these ladies more than the others, but why beat myself up trying to pick out one? It's not worth the hassle, when you can get two or more for the price of one!

 #36 - Eva Pflug - "Raumpatrouille Orion"

#37 - Honor Blackman - "The Avengers"

#38 - Irish McCalla - "Sheena: Queen Of The Jungle"

#39 - Jeanne Carmen - "The Monster Of Piedras Blancas" and an amazing golfer!

#41 - Kamala Devi - "The Brass Bottle"

#42 - Kumi Mizuno - "Gojira, Ebirâ, Mosura: Nankai No Daiketto" etc.

#43 - Lilli Palmer - All four of these shots are so good, I couldn't just pick one or two!

#44 - Lori Eastside as Nada. Her performance just drives me crazy!

#45 - Maria Perschy - "Horror Of The Zombies" etc.

#46 - Sylva Koscina -"Deadlier Than The Male" etc.

Seriously, don't you want to see every movie or TV show that each and every one of these gals has appeared in now? 

If not, then you just might want to check yourself into the emergency room ASAP, because you have no pulse!!
And if you just happen to still not see your favourite on this list, don't fret because I'm working on Part 3 right now!

THE ICE PIRATES / JF Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - 1984

Here's a movie for our pal, John Maffee, this is/was his favorite bad movie! Almost every eighties horror or sci-fi flick was some kind of total rip off of like four different seventies classics. In other words, it's cursed...

Rather than try and tell you what the movie's about, there a still with that explains it for me... Phew, saved me a few brain cells.

Well, it all starts with our hero reclaiming the toilet (by smashing the door down) from their ugly little alien pal who won't get off the pot. Then, once in, the stank is so intense that it smells the whole ship up!

Of course, there has to be a sleeping princess for the love interest, this movie has it all!

Here's our heroes very un-pirate, pirate ship... Boring!

The guys get captured and are cleaned up to be servants at a rock and roll alien party.

Bring in the ALIEN rip off creature, but, make him look goofy since this is a comedy.

There are weird 6-wheeled solar powered cars and huge steam roller death machines on this Mad Max style planet. I like the big roller thing with the skull head used for intimidation!

Anyway, it's time to hit the old hyper drive!

I've included this pic, because, I just saw an episode of AMERICAN PICKERS where they came across one of those eighties JVC Videosphere Space Helmet TVs, so, I knew what it was!

Things get worse before things get better for our spaced out heroes. Tune in tomorrow for another special post, here at The Dungeon!!

THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY - Alfred Hitchcock (1955)

Imagine a Disney movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock if you can, and you'll get a pretty good idea of how "The Trouble With Harry" comes off!

"The Trouble With Harry" is a dark comedy released in 1955! Alfred Hitchcock making a comedy like this is like The Three Stooges making a serious movie, it just doesn't work that well, for me anyway, but Alfred had a different opinion! In his interview with Francois Truffaut, Alfred stated that this was one of his favourite movies, a story that he thought was very funny, and though I will admit that I did get a few laughs at the beginning, it's actually quite droll, but then what else would you expect from the Master of Macabre! Alfred also said that he thought the movie was one big understatement, but that unto itself is an understatement!

 "The Trouble With Harry" is that he is dead, but that is not the real problem! "The Trouble With Harry" is also that it's 99 minutes long, when 30 minutes would have been just fine!

The countryside in the state of Vermont where "The Trouble With Harry" was shot is absolutely stunning and beautiful.......

.......As long as you like to watch guys hiking around with shovels!

Here's a trio of film and TV icons that's hard to beat, but that's just not enough to save this film! 

John (Bachelor Father) Forsythe, Jerry (The Beaver) Mathers, and Shirley MacLaine in her first film ever!

"The Trouble With Harry" is that it seems to go on forever and ever. Of course, all Alfred Hitchcock completionists should watch it, but for the rest of you, your life would be more productive spending some time in a "Frenzy" with "The Birds," or some "Psycho!"
