366,479 | 3,109,237 | 60,457 | 6 | It may be stupid , but it's so much fun | I realize that most people who have seen The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini will look at my rating and decide I need to have my head examined . I readily admit that it's one of the stupidest movies I've seen recently . I am perfectly capable of seeing all of the same problems in the movie that all of the other reviews o... |
366,083 | 3,109,237 | 60,531 | 6 | I've never thought much of Robert Goulet , but he's good as David March | I Deal in Danger is not really a movie , but a couple episodes of a television show called " Blue Light " that were edited together . The show told the story of an Allied secret agent named David March who has defected to the German side . March has , for the most part , been accepted by the Nazi high command . In real... |

366,587 | 3,109,237 | 57,280 | 6 | I'd like to see a restored Region 1 release of this one | Crypt of Horror appears to be one of those films from the early 60s that has been cut , re-cut , and released under almost a dozen titles . To me , it's a shame that this movie has been treated this way over the years because I found it to be a fairly effective Euro-Gothic treat . The plot deals with Count Karnstein an... |
366,017 | 3,109,237 | 45,533 | 6 | Payton's personal life may be sad , but that doesn't make her an actor . | Bad Blonde is a great title for a very average movie . It's also the first of the Hammer noirs made in the 1950s I've had a chance to watch . I've always been a fan of Hammer's horror output , so it's a treat to get the opportunity to see what the studio was doing pre-1957 . The movie tells the ( somewhat unoriginal ) ... |

366,305 | 3,109,237 | 39,800 | 6 | Pardon me , Professor , but didn't I just see you outside baying at the moon ? | Most of the reviews on IMDb for Scared to Death give it a good trashing . And , while I understand it has many flaws , I didn't find it to be as bad as some of the reviews would lead one to believe . Maybe I was just in the right frame of mind or something . The basic story : A women is slowing being driven mad . So ma... |

Gene Tierney's presence alone should have been enough to make it a sure fire winner with me . While it's not bad , I can't give it a full endorsement . As... |

366,787 | 3,109,237 | 55,408 | 6 | A big , heaping serving of cheese | I've only seen a handful of the Santo films , but Samson vs . the Vampire Women is so far my favorite . It's a cheese-filled extravaganza . The state of Wisconsin is jealous of the amount of cheese on display in this movie . What do you expect when you mix Santo , the masked Mexican wrestler , with a bevy of beautiful ... |
365,992 | 3,109,237 | 69,291 | 6 | A fond childhood memory | I was nine years old when Disney's Snowball Express first came out .

366,510 | 3,109,237 | 73,609 | 6 | Unintentionally , Rattlers is a funny movie | What a completely ridiculous movie . Rattlers ' plot is so nonsensical it's hysterical .

365,976 | 3,109,237 | 51,570 | 6 | One Small , Sleepy Town vs the Spider would have been a more appropriate title | When it comes to giant bug movies , Earth vs the Spider is one of my favorites . Yeah , parts of it are definitely corny and unbelievable , but for me , these things only add to the movie's charm . What's not to like about watching Fred Ziffel getting backed into a corner by a giant spider . And the special effects , w... |

366,236 | 3,109,237 | 278,634 | 6 | Wonderful setting , but a ridiculous plot point | Summoned to Baghdad at the behest of a Russian Countess , Hercule Poirot ( David Suchet ) instead finds himself mixed up in a murder at a nearby archaeological dig .
