      Some of my favorites on here. Plan 9 is great to watch back to back with Ed Wood.
      1953 War of the Worlds was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Those ships were super cool. FX hold up really well.
      Barbarella is over the top, but still fun to watch… and credited with the band Duran Duran getting it’s name. :)
      1960 Time Machine was another one of my absolute favs as a kid… best Time Machine adaptation IMHO.
