Encounter with the Unknown (1972)
Listen You
Highly entertaining! Emotionally charged! Riveting! This is a great campy attempt at Twillight Zone. One interesting twist in one of the stories is you will actually see a flashback within a flashback! You don't see that a lot! Kudo's to the filmmaker! To top it off it stars Robert Ginnaven, from Day it Came to Earth and he's teamed up with his partner from that movie, Lyle Armstrong. My friend and I find constant entertainment outta this one. Best skit in this movie is the first story involving three twitty looking dudes being told of a curse in which they all might die! I would suggest viewing this and then The Day It Came to Earth right after.
The Day It Came to Earth (1977)
Waffles! WAFFLES!
For cheese ball movies, this one's great. Heck, you can't beat a lame actor such as George Gobel to play a freakin astronomy professor! The stars of this movie aren't the kids, but the sergeant and his partner! To boot, Gobel even acts as if he's gonna dive in to the pond to search for a mysterious meteorite. C'mon, that ol' fartknocker would bust his hip before even getting close to the pond. The music is awesome and the acting is worse! Fun movie for anyone with a good sense of humor. I originally saw this movie on Elvira's Movie Macabre and cracked up at it when I was 13 years old. You can find the DVD on Amazon or almost anywhere else. Well worth the cheap price for cheap fun.
