Horror express. :emoji_grimacing:Probably not what you are referring to, but I liked "The Tingler" and "The Blood Beast Terror" (What a title!)
Basically anything with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, or Peter Cushing is good.
"The Blood Beast Terror" has the bonus of featuring the beautiful Wanda Ventham.

And also Roy Hudd of course providing the comic relief in a cameo part. Saw it at the Empire when it was first released as part of a double-bill with Witchfinder General.Probably not what you are referring to, but I liked "The Tingler" and "The Blood Beast Terror" (What a title!)

Really? So many classic movies made before the 1960's. The golden age.No, in fact I rarely watch any film made before 1960 but that one intrigued me because I'd seen the later version and not the original.
I have access to a large number of older films and just lately I've been watching one almost every day.
However, I must admit I enjoy older films so much more than modern ones.
My favourites are mostly from the 1960's since I believe that was the most creative period in film making.
Of course? I had no idea.Wanda was in UFO and looked gorgeous! Benedict Cumberbatch's Mom, of course.
Very attractive for sure, as were many of the ITC ladies. My all time fave though was Alexandra Bastedo - absolutely stunning.Wanda was in UFO and looked gorgeous! Benedict Cumberbatch's Mom, of course.
Yes, remember her as Marty Hopkirks wife and guest appearances in a couple of other ITC programmes, but not much else.

Interested to then read that Clint Eastwood no less reckoned she should have won the Mary Ure part in Where Eagles Dare.
Me too Otis, a bit off the wall having a ghost as a leading character but very watchable. Also enjoyed the other ITC shows from that time...Danger Man, The Baron, Department S, The Champions, The Saint, Man in a Suitcase and The Strange Report.I used to love Randall and Hopkirk. Obviously not the Vic Reeves incarnation.
Yeah. Only when Ant and Dec did Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads. That was much funnier and better than the original obviously.Me too Otis, a bit off the wall having a ghost as a leading character but very watchable.

Also agree with the Vic Reeves comment, you can rarely improve on the original.
That's me cheered up on a Monday morning, can face the week now!Had to look her up. Here's Alexandra Bastedo (left) and Wanda Ventham (right):

Yes they areI didn't think anyone liked Elvis musicals past diehard Elvis fans.
They're all a bit awful aren't they?
Think they all got pretty much panned, but if you're a fan you are going to love watching and hearing him sing aren't you.Yes they are
Yep-long live the King!Think they all got pretty much panned, but if you're a fan you are going to love watching and hearing him sing aren't you.
From Wikipedia:I didn't think anyone liked Elvis musicals past diehard Elvis fans.

I wasn't watching Elvis; I was watching Jocelyn Lane.Think they all got pretty much panned, but if you're a fan you are going to love watching and hearing him sing aren't you.
Yep, like I say, not great reviews at all. Popular is something completely different though isn't it. Been some films universally panned that have done well at the box office.From Wikipedia:
Tickle Me is a 1965 American musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley as a champion rodeo bull-rider and bronco-buster.
Presley won a 1966 Golden Laurel Award as best male actor in a musical film for this role. It is the only Elvis film released by Allied Artists Pictures and saved the studio from financial collapse, Tickle Me helping to avert bankruptcy thanks to a song from its recycled soundtrack, "(Such an) Easy Question", which was a Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart in July, 1965.[3] The film made $5 million at the box office.
The film was popular at the box office, making over $3 million in the US and $5 million worldwide. It became the third highest-grossing film in the history of Allied Artists and saved the studio from bankruptcy
"The Beginning or the End" from 1947 with mostly actors I'm not familar with but film buffs might know.
The story of the Manhattan Project and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Interesting film but not one of the best I've seen lately. Made a loss at the box office.

It's an excellent film. I remember it scaring the living daylights out of me when I was a child. I have always only known of it as Night of the Demon."Curse of the Demon" (US) aka "Night of the Demon" (UK) from 1957 with Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall MacGinnis.
Occult investigator attempts to probe a secretive cult and the cult leader unleashes his devious powers upon them.
Pretty good suspensful horror film, even though the horror is tame by today's standards.
I thought the 'Demon' was a very well done special effect, very creepy.

Shelly Winters was in Alfie with Michael Caine. She played a horny American woman seduced by a young Alfie.Watched a great old film last night "Lolita" from 1962.
James Mason, Shelley Winters, Peter Sellers, Sue Lyon - all brilliant.
