One of my favourite sci-fi movies of all time. Chronicled many a time on The Pond. Why? It takes place on the frozen tundra of Anarctica in sub zero temps. So, a cozy setting. Two, it is from the 50's, and 3) it is shot in glorious black and white.
James Arness plays the alien carrot from outer space, long before he began his stint as Marshall Dillon with Chester and Miss Kitty. [ no relation to my wife of umpteen years ]
Seems John Carpenter the director of "Halloween" likes it, too. And he did his remake with Kurt Russell in the 80's. I like Carpenter's foray, but I gotta go with the original.
Gimme shelter, v.c.
