1950's Sci-Fi TV
Late 40 or early 50's Science Fiction. Look close at this movie and you might wonder if "Independence Day" made a couple of years ago might have been a updated version from this movie.
When a giant reactor explodes in a lab, a scientist and his crew are sent flying 5000 years into the future. A campy favorite.
Here's another little jewel from the not so golden age of B movies. This one has everything, submarines, flying (or swimming) saucers, cyclopian monsters from space, and of course the overly melodramatic acting one would expect from these movies. Sit back and enjoy!
Most people think of a B movie as something concocted by the denizens of post WW II Hollywood, so I thought to include this little piece of cheese to prove that other nation's can also be known for the ripe smell of Lingerger (sp) emanating from their TV sets. This movie is a prime example of why it is important to not Film and Drink at the same time. It has some of the most unbelievably tacky scifi hardware ever put into a movie. The writing is funny and it sometimes seems that the writers had just returned from an all night wine tasting festival when they shlocked this one together. I hope you alien robots of undetermined origin with bad taste in sound effects, Zombified (Is that even a real word?) dead people with light bulbs for eyes, and some of the most fake screaming you ever heard. Enjoy the flick and try not to laugh too hard. :)

Late one night on a rural road in the western US, a policeman sets up a roadblock and begins stopping all traffic. When several cars and a big truck have stopped, he tells everyone why: a nuclear attack on the US appears to be underway, and since they have the truck there, their best chance at survival is to use it as a bomb shelter. Time is short and tensions in the small group quickly rise. (1962)

Unknown World - Classic Movie www.nostalgiamerchant.biz
Dr. Jeremiah Morley is convinced that a global nuclear holocaust is imminent and decides to organize a team of scientist to search for a subterranean environment. Sort of a Journey to the Center of the Earth. I wonder if this was the original idea for that movie. (1951) Available on DVD from The Nostalgia Merchant.
