I think it's still free to view. emeraldcityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944171047574404495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-8165672403964830772019-06-07T22:31:31.829-04:002019-06-07T22:31:31.829-04:00I dug up a few Best SciFi Films lists to get some ...I dug up a few Best SciFi Films lists to get some ideas, there are quite a lot of really good ones.

Goodness, I haven’t seen it in decades!

DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL works on so many different levels. And it's hard to believe that GODZILLA has now spawned 32 additional films and a huge merchandise industry!

To my surprise, no one mentioned EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS on Twitter, but the scene where the saucer crashes in the Capitol building is one of the most iconic moments in 1950s sci fi.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-92007600800488538692019-06-05T12:15:27.529-04:002019-06-05T12:15:27.529-04:001.
