_I Accuse My Parents_ was so good I had to buy a copy.

I have to go with “Outlaw of Gor” and not just because it’s a Gor movie. It had some spectacular opportunities for riffing and Mike and the gang were all over them. And “Toobular Boobular Joy” was hilarious. Not to mention the buffalo shots montage. And the Jack Palance diaries.

Thinking about it, I bet this is a Top 5 lister. I don’t really know which films make the top 5 lists …

Is Attack of the Giant Leeches usually listed as a top 5 episode? Because the song “I’m a Danger to Myself and Others” still makes me laugh out loud.

Pumaman, Horror of Party Beach, Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, and Godzilla vs. Megalon are some of my favorites.

_Samson versus the Vampire Women_ was one of the first episodes I saw and still a favorite. Seems to be an episode where people agree that it’s good but not in most people’s Top Five lists.

I saw this movie when it came out in the 70’s. It gave me nightmares!

I remember liking “The Girl In Gold Boots”, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.

I was coming in to nominate Werrwilf.

Cave Dwellers is a good one, too.

“Werewolf? No, I’m a squirrel monkey, OF COURSE I’m a werewolf!”

I love that line.

Red Zone Cuba is probably a classic.

That’s the problem. I’d say about half of the submissions here are classics. I actually thought Red Zone Cuba would fall just outside classic territory,but I guess not. It would be easier if someone defined the absolute classics.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s one of the best ever.

If anyone ever did that, it would start a chain reaction that would stop all molecular motion in the universe! :eek:

“Mitchell” for sure. I think Manos, and Space Mutiny always appear on top five lists.
