I suspect there has been something missing here, but I have been watching a lot of tv and things have been melding into one another...
So, especially because I know what is coming up in 2011 (having been there when I watched them), do we finish 2010 on a high?
CXX: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975)
Richard O'Brien's gender bending musical - with Hammer horror sets, now watchable with the opening in black and white - as interesting for its cast as anything else.
CXXI: The Abominable Dr. Phibes (Robert Fuest, 1971)
CXXII: The Incredible Melting Man (William Sachs, 1977)
CXXIII: Blackenstein (William A. Levey, 1973)
CXXIV: The Island of Dr. Moreau (Don Taylor, 1977)
So what is the finish the year on a high film?
CXXV: Saturn 3 (Stanley Donen, 1980)
It actually looks pretty good, but makes no sense - a hydroponics lab to supply Earth near Saturn, a man (Kirk Douglas) and a woman (Farrah Fawcett) as the gardeners, with one of them to be replaced by a robot who goes all Frankenstein's monster because he's been telepathically programmed by a dubbed Harvey Keitel. The script is blamable on Martin Amis (they should have got Kingsley) but I suspect they tore it up.
