I've watched several of his movies and I would have to agree.

It must have really stuck with you for you to remember it so well. It must be good.

Les Diaboliques, by Clouzot. Still can't believe Christina just dies cause she's scared!

House of Wax with Vincent Price last night. Is it blasphemous that I prefer Atwill?

A night of giant ape fun:

"King Kong" (1933)
-Fay Wray

Plot: A film crew discovers a colossal ape living on an island of prehistoric creatures, captures him and brings him to New York (really bad idea)

Phantom's Review: Like you really need to read a review of this film. We all know this is one of the greatest monster movies ever made. Great FX, acting and story, and they didn't need 3 hours to tell it. a true classic from beginning to end.

"King Kong Escapes" (1967)

Plot: IMDB
King Kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to do the task. This leads to the machine and the real Kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.

Phantom's Review: A not-so-classic (but still tremendous fun) Japanese sequel to "Kong". Goofy as hell, but lots of fun to watch.

"The Mummy" (1959)
-Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee

Plot: IMDB: In the 1890s a team of British archaeologists discover the untouched tomb of Princess Ananka but accidentally bring the mummified body of her High Priest back to life. Three years later back in England a follower of the same Egyptian religion unleashes the mummy to exact grisly revenge on the despoilers of the sacred past.

Phantom's Review: My personal favorite "Mummy" movie. A little more fast paced than the Karloff classic, but not an "Indiana Jones" style movie like the Brendan Frasier version. Good FX and make up. Stylish sets and costumes (of course, it's Hammer Films) and fine acting from the cast.
A highly entertaining movie.
