It's just that I’ve become a monster since I was a kid. However, all of Pal’s films are still generally considered beautiful to look at, essentially fun to watch, and pleasant, family fun, with legions of fans. Okay, now I’ve just wasted three hours incessantly rearranging my N-flix list (there are no “queues” in The United Provinces of Ivanlandia! The citizen enjoy standing in line). (I need to see again tom thumb (yep, it’s all lower-case-’cause he was such a little guy!) and The Naked Jungleto make a proper decision-I’m actually hesitant to view these again because what if my cherished memories of Russ Tamblyn dancing with stop-motion Puppetoons Houdini (again: hardly flawless-and completely historically inaccurate, but a sentimental favorite nonetheless-Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh really bring the flick to life)

The Time Machine(hardly flawless, but a sentimental favorite- and loaded with special effects, with a quick pace and a good, solid action movie actor in Rod Taylor) (the pace and tempo of this flick is brilliant! Coupled with those exquisite effects? A winner!)

–Pal’s best film and it works b/c it’s full of destruction. Pal films that have managed to survive my withering gaze include (I’m especially looking at you, Conquest of Space!) Now that I’ve gotten to see most of them as an adult, their flaws are far too great to be forgiven-usually in the form of mediocre scripts, frequent examples of terrible acting, and often excruciating pacing.Īnd then there’s the non-specific but goody-two-shoes Christianity that’s Lot of George Pal movieshere-his flicks were definitely an influence on my tastes, especially for special visual effects.Īlthough, ironically, and perhaps sadly, I don’t like most of Pal’s films anymore.
One Major Factor: There are many films MUCH WORSE available on DVD so why not these? Some of these flicks I have come to love-and others I used to love, but now, not so much. I’ll admit that I will criticize some of these flicks, but they all have their good points and admirers. We figured we might as well champion flicks that we’ve at least actually seen! The National Film Board of Ivanlandia decided that while this latest DVD MIA listwould be films that are still unavailable on DVD, it would include those we’ve actually viewed at some point, under whatever circumstances.
