Sci-Fi Aliens Night on TCM…

Updated on December 27, 2011 By Ken Begg 6 Comments

Almost didn’t notice this. All times CST.

7:00 Close Encounters of the Third Kind
9:30 Earth vs. the Flying Saucers
11:00 Man from Planet X
12:15 AM Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150
1:45 UFO
3:30 War of the Planets

All those, except maybe for UFO, are or at least were available on DVD.  Still, fun stuff.

    UFO? I know of a weird little number from the 70’s called UFO: Target Earth, is that the same flick? I wonder if it’s one I haven’t seen yet (tho obviously, I hope it isn’t since I can’t tune in).

    There must be six or seven flicks called War of the Planets, but I’ll assume they mean the 60’s Italian Gamma picture, as TCM was where I recorded my copy. I love those movies. Few series look so expensive and so cheap at the same time.

    I believe this is the 1956 UFO, kind of a cheesy documentary on the subject. War of the Planets is indeed, I’d have to think, the Italian flick.

    Hmmmm, sounds interesting (I’m sad to say)…..

    There’s no way an Italian film called “War of the Planets” can be anything other than torture. 

    “Is that the one that played at the last B-Fest?”
    “Yeah, or its counterpart.”

    I can understand why you’d be gun-shy if you saw the 70s flick with John Richardson. The film I had to note A) didn’t involve more than one planet, and B) didn’t really involve a war.

    Hmm, this still goes a long way towards explaining Donna’s grandfather’s obsession wth aliens, and why he encourages her to go after the Doctor.

    No fun if I have to explain, but for those who don’t know, that’s Bernard Cribbins on the right, as the handsome cop boyfriend, 40+ years before his next Who stint as a semi-regular.
