A trio of great science fiction movies from the Golden Age of Sci-Fi — three of my favorites, in fact.
Even though the posting activity on All Sci-Fi is way down for some reason, I've noticed that each of the "Featured Threads" posts continue to get about 40 "views" per week.
I was also surprised to see that the older Featured Thread posts continue to get more and more views well after the day on which they were posted!
So, I'm not wasting my time adding these each day. But I wish our members would do more to help All Sci-Fi be more active.

Beyond the Time Barrier (1960)
Custer wrote: | In its way, this is a very interesting science fiction movie; it may have been shot over only ten days in Texas (or so Wikipedia says), with its producer as its star — but, in 1960, it must be very near the end of an era. 1960 was different from 1952, or 1956, or the other years when black & white science fiction films were so popular.
The print on this 4-in-1 dvd is great — I've not tried the other three yet. |
Well, said Custer. I agree completely.
This is indeed the last low-budget-but-enjoyable science fiction movie of the 1950s era. The Time Machine kicked off the 1960s in the same year, and movies like Mysterious Island and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea were highlights of the 1960s, with 2001 raising the bar to a whole new level.

The Time Machine (1960) - Part 3
This has some nice info I didn't know. For example, George Pal originally wanted an older man for the starring role, but he changed his mind (thank goodness) and went with Rod Taylor.
An audio clip of an interview with Rod is included.
Enjoy!_

Gord, those are amazing videos, every one — especially the first one. It's so awesome I'm going to "call it back for an encore" right here, just to encourage our members to enjoy them all.
