To: P.O.E.
Outer Limits

A superb example of No to Medium Budget, Black & White Science Fiction perfection, P.O.E.

"Demon With The Glass Hand" is still a nearly unknkown gem.

Same with "The Chameleon", "The Invisibles" and "The Zanti Misfits". Loved the way the directors used light and shadow to heighten the tension in a scene.

A wonderful collection that directors should be studying in the genre of getting "The Most Bang For The Buck!"

Have the entire Original Series on DVD. The later, color version of the show just didn't work for me.

Jack.

Used to love this series, along with "Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery".

I just bought the Outer Limits on DVD this year. Must have spent about $125.

Suprised that nobody mentioned the best, imo, SCI-Fi movie of all time:

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Love that show - have a bunch of them on VHS from Sci-Fi Channel Marathons. Fun to play "how did they spend the 50 bucks this week?" :)

One or two clunkers, but mostly thought-provoking stuff. Too many good ones to mention.
