Forbidden Planet (1956)


































  A spaceship lands on a planet with the mission to rescue and secure the well-being of a human colony sent there years ago. Upon arrival, they find out that the sole survivors is a scientist,his daughter and a very clever robot that managed to survive against all monsters. The scientist's secret will soon shock everyone on board...
  Ah the 50's. Back when chubby and curvy was still sexy, Sci-Fi was still pure and raw. The progress of this film's story is truly breathtaking and stunningly smart and while it appears as naive and family-fun, it is downright radical. Fred M. Wilcox combines the beloved issue of extraterrestrial life and the basic learnings of Freud's science and what comes out is an endings that you definitely won't see coming.
   Watching this film, I swear I didn't get the slightest hunch that Leslie Nielsen had the major role! It may have been that I am used to seeing him in hid own unique comedies! Nevertheless, he is quite nice as the all-American hero who gets the girl (of course), Anne Francis. It wasn't that difficult ,if you ask me, since her father, the malicious Walter Pidgeon had her all locked up and protected. My personal favorite, though, was the cook, Earl Holliman, who managed to befriend a robot that steadily supplied him with his cherished alcohol!
Must watch this : getting high would help although it is not necessary. I would suggest some deep fried French fries, a couple of strong beers and a joint for the dessert.

Listen, I am going to be a comedian. OK, Dad?

Creepshow (1982)


































  Inspired by E.C. Comics of the 1950's, five unique stories of horror that chill the blood come to haunt you when you sleep. A dead father comes back to haunt his family, a lone man is infected by a meteorite, a psychopath murders his unfaithful wife, a possessed crate spreads fear and hordes of cockroaches raid a man's house!
  George A. Romero goes over the top once again and works together with Stephen King for this magnificent piece of pulp horror cinema! An amazing atmosphere is strongly vivid throughout the film and each scene is like it's pulling you closer in in a comic book's rusty yellow pages. King lets his fantasy runs fast, Romero lets his camera absorb everything and Tom Savini lets his magic hands brings monstrosities to life!
  If you thought this is actually horrifying then I am afraid I will let you down! This film is all about the horror and Sci-Fi atmosphere; it's like a grandma telling a tale. And because it does take itself too seriously (or does it?), this film employs talents such as Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, E.G. Marshall and Ed Harris for a more classy vibe. Even Stephen King has a little role as the Weed man (I bet that pun was intended by himself too).
Must watch this :  ideally on a rainy November night (or on Halloween), wearing your pajamas and holding your teddy bear real tight! Order a large pizza and a Diet Coca Cola to accompany!

Airplane! (1980)


































  Ex-fighter pilot Ted Striker is traumatized from the cruelties of the war he was in. Unable to fly again, he loses control of his life and he gets dumped by his girlfriend. To get her back he gets on a plane, despite his fears. When the crew gets sick, he seems to be the only one who can safely land the plane. Or is he?
  David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker team up and bring us this classic 80's comedy. And what a comedy that is! Reeeeeeeally high on whatever they were on those days, this film brings another meaning to the term of slapstick comedy! Satirical enough? Yes! Offensive much? Hell yeah! Down right stupid? You bet!
  Robert Hays is out main guy. His facial expressions are hilarious and (for me) make up half of the film. The other half is the script and its unexpected turns and Leslie Nielsen. Anything we say abou this crazy motherfucker just won't be enough to express his class.So, just watch this and see for yourself.
Must watch this : with the dudes and a good amount of beers or weed. You will find yourself laughing and wondering what the actual fuck. It is better to watch this back-to-back with another crazy stoner film!
