Plan 9 From Outer Space, a film so bad that I can't force myself to watch it all the way through (and I watched Pendragon's version of War of the Worlds).

PLAN 9 it is!

At least is has a lot less walking than Timothy Hines WOTW. Oh it's a howler alright, but you gotta admit, very few other filmmakers will ever get as glorious a tribute as Wood got from Tim Burton, Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander...based only on the secret testimony of the miserable souls who survived that terrifying ordeal.

Fifty years from now people will still be watching and talking(and laughing!) about PLAN 9....and something like the new 200 zillion dollar POSEIDON movie will be nothing but a mere footnote in some nondescript movie guide.

Anyway you're up Gas Giant.

The 1978 musical version of War of the Worlds?

If this has any relationship to Gloria Gaynor, it can only be "Noctura".

No and no. It's from a TV serial.

The one that comes to mind is Battlestar Galactica. Where Adama gives "I have a dream" screech.

You're right...I blame "middle-aged memory".

DR. WHO, sounds like the cybermen. I'm rusty on the more classic era episodes, but the instance I'm thinking of was during Troughton's era, waaaaayyyyy back when.

I think you got it. Of course, we would have nailed in one minute with "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!".

You have it! The Cybercontroller to Jamie in The Tomb of the Cybermen. It was brought to mind by a recent Doctor Who Confidential that followed the development of the Cybermen throughout the series.

Phew! Thank you Gas Giant. I was afraid you were going to want the specific epsiode, which in my mind has now probably blurred into about 100 other WHOpisodes.

In the interest of keeping it cheesy, here's one from the Infamous Last Lines files.

Isn't Gene Hackman a great actor?

That's it ggremlin.

I was going to bump the thread and tell you to guess if nobody else did. Maybe everyone's preoccupied with the "pizza-topping" discussion in O-T BABBLING.

Anyway, take it away sir.....

Well, if you guys would give something easier for us young-uns, maybe you'd get a few more responses. (Besides, I haven't watched a Superman movie in years and years. That will change in the next month, though.)

Mmmmm, Mozzarella, peppers, mushrooms & chillies .... Oh I seem to have wandered threads
I often get the answers via googling etc but never post them if so anymore, self imposed rule. Besides, coming up with new, non searchable quotes is really difficult now after 4 whole pages

I can't help it, I like off the wall grade B thru Z movies. But I also like class A movies as the following example:

A small classic, it should circulate for a while,
