    Forbidden Planet. It's so bad, It's good.

    Classic, but for it's day it was good at least if it is the one I am thinking of ? It was the one with Lesley Nelson of naked gun fame?

    I guess I'd have to say godzilla too. I'm not into monster movies, but when we were in Japan (for hubby's work) we went to Tokyo to see godzilla takes on New York!!! It was in english with japanese sub-titles and they served beer at the theater!!! I thought it was a hilarious situation we found ourselves in.

    That's the one. You couldn't see the monster and in the end it turned out to be mind created. The sound effects made it scary when the footprints started to appear. Robbie the robot was great too.

    Tossup between The Crawling Eye (big giant cool thing) or From Hell it Came (big walking tree with eyes and teeth) These were "Golden Turkey" movies from the 60's - made me what I am today. mrs.flipper mr.flipper here, my favorite was Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein. Poor guy never got an even break from soup being spilled in his lap, to having his finger set on fire from Gene Hackman.Poor monster. Edited to add very important info - the crawling eye had the crawling apparatus of a snail. very cool!!

    The Djinn from wishmater, The Alien from well alien, Predator, Rodan, and the triPODS from the new war of the worlds would be my others.

    I agree! I'd have to add Freddie Krueger because even as "an adult" I love the Nightmare On Elm Street movies. Actually there are so many great "movie monsters of horror"- It's hard to limit it. The Aliens from the Alien movies are probably my favorite. I'm a total Sci-Fi geek, anything alien is awesome in my book.

    I love him but only from what I have seen in parodies having never seen that movie.
