Classic, somewhat low budget horror film made in 1967 involving the famous Professor Bernard Quatermass. The IMDB description can be found here.

From IMDB:
"While digging a new subway line in London, a construction crew discovers first: a skeleton, then what they think is an old World War II German missle. Upon closer examination the "missle" appears to be not of this earth! This movie examines the age old question of how we came to be on this planet. It is suprizingly scary."

Actually quite an entertaining film despite the absurd plot.

The video can be viewed via Google Video (to the right), but is also available for download in mp4 format for the iPod Touch and iPhone on this page:

Quatermass and the Pit

One of those films that nobody seems to have heard of and fewer have seen. Starring Charles Bronson as a bare knuckle street boxer during the depression in New Orleans, and James Coburn as his loud mouth, con-man, manager type. One of the better movies both did towards the beginning of the end of their careers. Bronson did this just after the original Death Wish and Coburn went on to do Cross of Iron just a year or so later. Worth a watch if you can find it, it's available on DVD but probably needs to be ordered. The trailer below doesn't quite do it justice...

I am just as perplexed that everyone else hates this movie as I am by how funny I think it actually is. Normally one would assume that the majority (say 98% of the people who have seen it) would be right, but I'm not going to buy that. No, they are wrong and we 2% are right. They just didn't get it. "Man oh man do I hate them fancy lads.."
