When I was younger, that is before the dawn of time when dinosaurs and Christian fundamentalists roamed the Earth I just loved the old 50's science fiction movies they'd show on TV. Flying saucers, mutant monsters and heroes with jaws of granite and nerves of steel fought to the death in order to make sure my Thursday evenings remained the highlight of my week.
So, imagine my joy when I found a site where I could see online some of the films that I enjoyed so much when I was a kid. Classics such as Forbidden Planet with its ethereal monster and amazing robot.

Also I was drawn to the story behind This Island Earth when top human scientists are whisked off to Metaluna to save their civilisation from the Zagons (no kidding).

I hope you enjoy watching these again as much as I did. Cheap special effects, stilted dialogue and acting so wooden you can hear it creak, kids today don't know what they are missing.

I found your blog through all that's been happening in Greece of late, and been really impressed by your citizen journalism - please do keep it up. And I was sorry to hear of the sad events in your personal life - my thoughts (as those of many others who have never met you, I am sure) are with you.
I love so many of those old movies! Thanks so much for the link!
I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I did. Great to find stuff you thought you'd never see again.
I'm glad you all enjoy flash-candy, I've worked hard to keep it clean and cool. More kids need to see these classics.
