Mar. 17th, 2009 01:32 am[Error: unknown template qotd]Two favorite movies: First one, Wizard of Oz. I still watch this when I'm having a really bad day or sick.
The second one I've barely seen as an adult, and it doesn't hold up, but it made an amazing impression on me at eight. I had gotten up before everyone else that summer morning, gotten a bowl of cereal, and turned on the Turner station.
And I watched the original Creature From the Black Lagoon. I was stunned, watching the whole movie in fascination, without any interruption as both my dad and sister slept through the morning.
Of course, you watch it now and all the non-gilled characters are as dumb as a box of hammers and everything except the monster and the setting is lousy, but back then? Pure dark entertainment, and probably cemented my status as a horror fan.
