Forbidden Planet is still my number 1 fav. Sci Fi flick.<br />JohnJohn Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002975017152562232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155795730371115005.post-79707703147272101592013-05-19T02:19:16.038-07:002013-05-19T02:19:16.038-07:00If I had to say what my first Ah-Ha

In 1931 a young girl of 9 years old , living in a gas lite apartment went into the scary dark basement of the 5 floor walk up to shovel coal in a bucket and send it up the Dumb Waiter,and I saw this 30 years later and it was scary, in New York City, went to see Frankenstein.<br /> Unprepaired this innocent saw the Horrible face of the Frankenstein's Monster, 20 feet tall on the screen, she screamed and jumped under the seat.<br /> The girl is my Mom. She me this. She and Dad loved these Movies. He had not been to a Movie in many years but in 1977 The New Sinbad Movie came out and he said he had to go. I remember him a man who survived WW2 smiling.<br /> Thanks. By the way Forbidden Planet is my favorite and <br />Harryhausen's films are my close second. never forget jason and the Argonaughts. WOW.
