TEN FILMS WITH LINKS!
Here is a page from which you can link to 10 different fantastic films (some with alternate versions). I'm kind of like your TV GUIDE!
gappa the triphibian monster 1967 90m
AKA monster from a prehistoric planet
https://archive.org/details/MonsterFromAPrehistoricPlanet_201701
4/25/2019 - Stupid people take monster baby from "lost" island, find themselves under attack in Tokyo by monster parents. Basically, a remake of Gorgo with some Rodan thrown in for good measure. This movie takes a lot of hate, but the effects and cameras took some doing, and most of the actors are suitably agog. Also, the love interest subplot is cutely done. The most annoying thing is the islander boy (in blackface yet) yelling "Gappa!" every two seconds. You could do worse, believe it! One more thing, Gappa is not from another planet, but rather a homegrown creature. (B) [Archive upload is the USA TV print, and is FULL picture, while most others online are cropped]
man in half moon street 1945 92m
https://ok.ru/video/677082172046
4/25/2019 - Slow methodical take on the Barre Lyndon play, wherein the secret to eternal youth is fleetingly held and felt. Gently acted, the sweet Helen Walker superb, the Miklos Rozsa score evocative. I really loved the ending, so casually offbeat. (A-) [ok.ru upload was very good, even if the print had been spliced many moons ago]
man who could cheat death 1958 82m
http://cafehulu.com/watch/zGWp5ldP-the-man-who-could-cheat-death.html
4/26/2019 - Hammer rendition of Man in Half Moon Street, this is quite histrionic, especially after watching the 1945 version, and even Hazel Court looks lost. If it weren't for Anton Diffring's monstrous makeup, this really wouldn't have anything going for it, not even Chris Lee as the good-guy hero. (B) [CafeHulu is a great upload with English subs, and the only rub is Cafe has buffering issues]
picture of dorian gray 1945 110m
http://cafehulu.com/watch/QG3EDPvo-the-picture-of-dorian-gray.html
4/27/2019 - Due to a wish to an Egyptian god statue, an aristocrat's portrait absorbs his sins, keeping the man eternally young, but his conscience eventually gets the best of him. About as classic a film and faithful-to-the-book as it gets. (A+) [CafeHulu a terrific upload, again with buffering issues]
the tingler 1959 82m
https://www.cda.pl/video/149930469 (Polish subs)
4/28/2019 - Fright causes a separate organism ("The Tingler") to break the victim's spine. William Castle vehicle. Vincent Price hams it up in this silly outing. (B/B+) [CDA superb]
the black sleep 1959 82m
AKA dr. cadman's secret
http://cafehulu.com/watch/OGgr11xR-the-black-sleep.html
4/30/2019 - A doctor convicted of murder by malpractice is rescued from the gallows by a seemingly benevolent scientist with a suspended-animation formula. Where else can you see Bela Lugosi (older, mute), Lon Chaney Jr (who also doesn't speak), Tor Johnson (ditto!), Basil Rathbone, Akim Tamiroff, and John Carradine chew the scenery so grandly, and also not cringe, because this is a pretty good story/film. (B+) [Cafe Hulu is more than adequate]
tarantula 1955 80m
https://my.mail.ru/mail/eng.sub.movies/video/4/135.html
5/1/2019 - Radioactive experiments on a nutrient to feed the world leads to a classic 1950's giant-insect flick with plenty of action, nice desert scenery, and decent writing. (B+) [My.Mail upload was full HD, a beautiful picture, but get ready for buffering if your system isn't attuned, and I enjoyed the English hardsubs]
five million years to earth 1967 97m
AKA quatermass and the pit
https://my.mail.ru/mail/eng.sub.movies/video/4/206.html
5/2/2019 - Renovations in a London subway stop lead to a discovery which could set the question of man's origin on its ear. The cleansing of the hive as a metaphor for socialism, or any forced society, is a powerful statement, even if not their intent. Excellent acting with many English quirks. (A) [My.Mail upload was full HD, a beautiful picture, but get ready for buffering if your system isn't attuned, and I enjoyed the Enflish hardsubs]
i walked with a zombie 1943 69m
https://gostream.site/i-walked-with-a-zombie/
5/3/2019 - Hired nurse travels to West Indies to care for catatonic wife of dashing young plantation owner. Nice creepy atmosphere by low-budget genius Tourneur, underlined with a magnetic voodoo ritual scene. (A) [GoStream using OpenLoad was a smooth and very nice print, even if a few age spots]
