    Cheating on Svengoolie 2nite: TCM Out of this World marathon

    Do feel a little guilty tonight watching some of the great original sci-fi movies:

    *War Of The Worlds 1953

    *Forbidden Planet 1953

    *Invasion Of The Body Snatchers 1956

    *It Came From Outer Space 1953

    *The Thing From Another World 1951

    *Earth vs. The Flying Saucers

    This were the movies that helped launch many of the latter sci-fi movies and tv series (Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica etc)

    I always felt Forbidden Planet was the direct ancestor of Star Trek. Yea its a loose interpretation of Shakespeares Tempest and its slow and way too serious for its own good and the effects are laughable even by Treks standard...but Trek kind of had that same DNA.

      I totally disagree with your opinion of Forbidden Planet, but yes Trek borrows from it.

        I'm mostly comparing it to Star Wars and more adventurous sci fi.
