I can recall actually seeing 34 of those, mostly in movie houses, some (like Planet of the Apes and Stepford Wives) later on the teevee. Never been a horror fan tho.

Was At the Earth's Core actually based on the ERB book of the same name and I somehow missed it? or is it something else entirely? I remember being entirely delighted when The People That Time Forgot came out.

We appreciate your attention to this matter.

Er never mind, the great interweb knows all sees all. Maybe At the Earth's Core missed Madison, or I blinked when it came through. Must see what can be done about that now.

If I had world enough and time, I'd link through to the IMDB. At the Earth's Core is one I probably would have assumed Verne or Conan Doyle over.

Yes, it is a version of ERB.

Are there two Damnation Alleys and Death Race 2000s?

[drasecretcampus.livejournal.com]

Well spotted (I'd write they were there as a test to see if anyone was paying attention, but I'd be lying.)

The first half of the list was from a book (Phil Hardy? Aurum?), the second from IMDB. I have spotted a year's difference between the IMDB and other sources before - say the Time Out guide.

I suspect here it's Video Game vs film - certainly that's the case in Death Race. Will delete.


Thanks!

You realize of course that your online filmographies are ripe for half-assed checklist memes. Personally I am tempted to post such a thing -- if only to demonstrate the cultural literacy conferred by my great age, which I share with the largest age cohort of the boomers. But how many people born after the seventies have casually watched such a comprehensive list? You are a professional, do not try this at home.

When I was small, I saw movies at a magical moviehouse in Norman Oklahoma called the Boomer theater (after the Oklahoma state land-rush character) (or maybe after the atomic bomb, one wonders). I can just feel a post coming on.

H'mm, depending how you count, I'm born just before the seventies...

Rough count of 45 seen, mostly on tv/video/DVD, with probably about 30 I want to see and 30 I'd much rather not. I'm hugely tempted by this (http://www.amazon.com/SciFi-Classics-Collection-Movie-Pack/dp/B0001HAGU6/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-5020818-0896635?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179158245&sr=8-1), but I fear it's 1950s and 1960s crud. This (http://www.amazon.com/Nightmare-Worlds-Movie-Pack-Collection/dp/B000H5U68O/ref=sr_1_2/103-5020818-0896635?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179158245&sr=8-2) isn't any better. (Not that I'm against 1950s and 1960s crud, I just want the seventies version.)

The reviews are helpful. I was going to say I hadn't seen any of those, such forgettable titles, but then realized a number of the Italian Hercules Steve Reeve ones probably ran on television in a series as Saturday Afternoon At The Movies. Saturday Night? something like that. The Buster Crabbe Buck Rogers definitely at a campus film society.

Madison had a dozen film societies on campus before the advent of video, so one could see 7 and 9 pm shows Thursday through Sunday, back in the day, for $1. I rather miss not only the social occasion, but having someone who knows the field, whatever field, to pick my viewing list.
