Satan's Cheerleaders... Geez - John Ireland and Jack Kruschen - how low they stooped; must have had a house payment due. Highly respected actors at one time.

My favorite title waay back when was How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (followed closely by The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini). I think the latter had no substance...

Because there are no longer any drive-in theaters around to show them at? Seems like that was where those kind of movies were always playing.

I love Leslie Neilson! Boy did he have a long career eh? When the naked hottie in the lake says "what's a bathing suit?" he just mumbles "murder" under his breath. Classy :)

That's a great list of movies there, I've only seen maybe 10 of them tops. Many are hard or impossible to find these days.

Gort! Klaatu nikto barada!
I've never forgotten that phrase! I saw the movie in a first-run theater in 19__ and was convinced it was a documentary...
And for those unfamiliar with the phrase:

I saw Forbidden Planet in a drive in and later read all the sci fi I could find.

A couple of friends made this doco.. Interviewed Quentin Taratino and George Lazenby - Australias James Bond!

Brilliant piece of work.
