No comments about stockings and suspenders, then? Let me guess, you're one of those ladies who dresses up as Dr. Frankenfurter("You're a hotdog, but you better not try to hurt her, Frank Furter!") aren't you? I thought there was something a tad kinky about you! (Elric salaams) "WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!" As for my 10 list, not in order of preference: 1. 2001 ASO(I'm sorry, Dave. But I can't do that.) 2. Star Crash(Caroline Munro in a bikini gets me every time!*wolf whistle*) 3. A Boy and His Dog(see comment on earlier post) 4. Dr Who and the Daleks(ok, it's not connected to the series, but I'm a Peter Cushing fan, sue me!) 5. Golden Voyage of Sinbad(John Philip Law, Caroline Munro and Tom Baker in one film!) 6. Barbarella(find out why Jane Fonda blushes when someone mentions that film) 7. Creature from the Black Lagoon(see earlier post) 8. Invasion from Mars(the original, not the remake(yucck)) 9. Quatermass and the Pit(for B7 fans: look at the scene where the "martians" are discovered, that's a young Gareth Thomas!) 10. War of the Worlds(the Gene Barry one is definitive IMO)

Stargate - the original movie - isn't bad, provided you switch your brain off so you can ignore the original premise!

*Likes Stargate, TimeCop, and The Monkees.* Yougottaproblem? ;D Stargate, what Chrissie said. Timecop - Van Damme SF-style(?) Need I say more? And I like The Monkees, too, as long as they just sing and bounce around on the SMALL SCREEN and leave the BIG SCREEN alone! Or did you like "Head" as well? They were stoned with Nicholsen when they wrote that, you know.

No, I just like the syndicated, small screen, on when I got home from school between the Brady Bunch and TOS, Monkees. And their comeback album, which was pretty good if you ask me.

Head was very good. It seem completely stoned and stupid until the very end where it all came together. The (just had to turn on the Porpoises Song).. Anyway, at the end you see that the room they keep getting stuck in is the box that THEY were stuck in. No one took them seriously and just kept pushing back into comical clowns, never taken seriously at all. Then finally when the take the big jump, and get away, we find that they are STILL in the box.
It was saying that hard as they try, they aren't taken seriously and aren't ever going to escpae their "Monkee" persona. How true it was, how right they were.
<singing>"The porpoises waving, Goodbye, Goodbye!"

I lost interest in the film before I could see that message. I take full blame for that. If they truly saw themselves as "Prisoners of the Idiot Box" I would say that it was mostly a prison of their own making. When they tried to break away, the best that they could do was parody themselves and their stormy relationship with Don Kirshner(remember "33 1/3 RPM (Revolutions Per Monkee)" as well as the numerous walk-on parts they had on a zillion sitcoms, Boy Meets World being among the most recent?).
It's one thing to say that their fans couldn't accept them as anything else, it's another thing completely when the Monkees prove that they're incapable of being anything else after 35 years!

I wouldnt' say that. Look at Jimmy Doohan. He couldn't get a post Trek job that wasn't a paradoy of Scotty.
People actually THOUGH he was scottish!
The Monkees made that movie during the TV series. No one bought it and so now, 35 years later, what are they suppose to do (and BTW, they DO do other things, those few appearances pay them enough cash to do whatever they want.)
Just like Stewart. He does Star Trek X and X-Men 2 for about 20 or so million combined. He hates filming, but with 20 million, he doesn't need to work again for years and can do WHATEVER he wants. Hell, he could fund his own broadway production, not make a dime and STILL be able to eat caviar.
