The seminal science-fiction movie Forbidden Planet, starring Leslie Nielsen as starship Commander Adams and Anne Francis as Altaira, premiered on the big screen in March 1956 and celebrates its 50th Anniversary this month. In the movie, the crew of the United Planets starship C-57D goes to investigate the silence of a planet's colony only to find two survivors and a deadly secret that one of them has.

I like Leslie Nielsen, he's such a fine actor... and funny, too.

Now I'm regretting not getting all those autographs at the Hollywood Collectors show - Warren Stevens, Ann Francis and others from the film appeared there not that long ago. For a fifty year old film, it's amazing how many of the cast are still around (Lord willing, for a lot longer too).

One of my all-time favorite cult movies is Buckaroo Banzai. Lithgow made the film memorable but there were others...

I loved MST3K. I think what your sons did is great. Thanks for the info on Sinister Cinema. I will have to check it out. "Cheezy" are the best! LOL! Thanks again.
