Title: Creature From The Black Lagoon.
Post by: Charley Bea(EmeraldP) on July 07, 2013, 07:41:33 PM
I recently bought myself a copy of Creature From The Black Lagoon to add to my classic horror collection(sadly not very large) I have yet to watch it but I was wondering if anyone here has watched it and what their thoughts are on it?

I maybe 27 but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate classics ;)

That's a classic. I like the old war movies. Battle Of The Bulge, The Great Escape, Caine Mutiny, and I think my favourite is Stalag 17 or The Bridge On The River Kwai.

It was one of Ingmar Bergman's favorite films.  It was originally filmed in 3-D, but B&W!

I went to a drive in theatre once when I was I think 11 it probably isn't even there anymore. Well haven't watched it yet been a bit hectic around here but hopefully I can snuggle into bed tonight and watch it(wish I had someone to snuggle with :( )...certainly have the weather for it at the moment with all the rain.

Funny, I was just thinking about this movie yesterday. I remember watching it on "Creature Feature" on Saturday afternoons as a kid...classic 1950's monster fare, monster walks slowly, women scream, etc. (Although I remember very little of the movie itself, like most things 40+ years ago).
