A few years back I "rediscovered" the Creature from the Black Lagoon films. I had forgotten how much fun they were and even the one I liked the least, the third film (The Creature Walks Among Us), I began to like. Now I think all three films are pretty good. And the creature suits created for the films stand up incredibly well today, even with all the tremendous advances we've seen in creature effects. It's just a great monster design, and beautifully realized.
