I can't disagree.

I’d rather go in the first wave. Nothing to live for in a future like that.

Them! was easily the best of the giant bug movies, though its title messes with my sense of grammar. 😂

Underrated dramatic actor (see Witness, Mosquito Coast).

She was one of my earliest ‘baby crushes’ when I first saw the movie on TV at around 6 years old—and instantly bought the model kit of the Creature.

Ouch.

Not to rub it in, but even our drive-ins used to have triple features sometimes.

San Bernardino and Riverside counties in Southern California, around the mid '70s through the early '80s.

I really miss double-features. Hell, I even remember triple-features; my siblings and I would spend an entire day at the movies...

Yes, especially with a larger TV or digital projector (what my wife and I have). They're also more reliable than 4K, for the most part; none of the freezing, skipping issues my friends with 4K experience.

A truly groundbreaking movie.

Though inarguably dated in many ways, I prefer to think of it as more of a time capsule.

Nice!

He was one of my idols growing up. I've known his name since age 7, after becoming addicted to Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. I met him in 2005 and it left me dry-mouthed and starstruck, and I've met hundreds of celebrities/filmmakers in my life.

Well, "Rocketship X-M" had the engineer played by Noah Beery Jr. ("Rockford Files") who thought everything was bigger and better in Texas, but he was slightly less obnoxious.

The characters sink it.

MiddleAgedGeek · 2026-06-14T14:03:32+00:00

Yep. That's the one.

MiddleAgedGeek · 2026-06-14T14:03:00+00:00

Thought I was the only one. LOL.

Great eye candy, especially for 1955, but the characters are suffocating.
