I vote for **Space Mutiny** , featuring [the many names of David Ryder](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFHlJ2voJHY).

Other honourable mentions are Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and the Gamera films.

“Ah, Corman’s theory of directing - light, then get away.”

I thought about that during the recent outrage over the Affluenza Judicial Sentencing.

The robots said it themselves - Ed Wood’s The Violent Years, about the girl gang.

Some girl gangsters wearing bullet-bras & ships abduct a man & drag them into the woods…

“This is the greatest film Dr. Forrester have ever sent to us!”

I just saw this one recently. Wood wrote the script but didn’t direct the movie, which explains why it’s better than his other stuff.

I would legit enjoy **The Amazing Colossal Man** without the commentary.

You know, I appreciate a 1950s D-list horror movie that is willing to explore a bit of philosophy.
