Know of an old movie of guy driving around with something alien or radioactive in the truck?
Bwaa haaa haaa! You got that name! Nice!
I gotta watch it again...haven’t seen it in years!
How could I forget that scene?
Priceless. Thanks for posting!!
You know, I had to to go youtube...it’s all coming back to me now! I forgot how stupidly funny the liquor store robbery scene was! “I’ll make you a repo wife!”
What was in the trunk was hot hot hot. It was not Hillary. The real hell of it is she looks hotter today than when she was young, Bill made a major mistake. All he got was to be president, he could have done much better. :)
Vague memory of seeing it as a child (probably sneaked in the side door).
I will see if I can purchase it. Can always resell.

I was thinking of the older movie that I seem to recall - above , “The Wages of Fear”. Old black and white version I would watch in the 60’s. I’m guessing the “Sorcerer” is a remake of it. Transporting Nitro in a truck on bumpy mountain and desert backroads.
Well, there’s my list :) Thanks!
That’s just a selection from A to H. I didn’t want the list to become unwieldy. There are easily enough top notch surrealist films out there to have a different midnight movie every day for a year.
Here’s a bunch more, though many on this list I would not include as being too mundane.

It also really helps to have some descriptive reviews about them.
For example, most everyone who sees Robert Downey, Sr.’s “Greaser’s Palace” for the first time is convinced that it is a confusing POS. However, it stays with you, and with subsequent viewings it becomes obvious that it is a work of genius.
I was thinking about that movie just yesterday....
There was another one from the 50's that I couldn't remember. It involved some monster growing in a large vat in a laboratory. It turned into a giant worm like thing............
You call them worms but might they have been giant leeches?
There was a movie in the 50’s Called “Attack of the Giant Leeches”. No memory of who was in the cast and believe Gordon McClendon was involved in getting it to screen. It took place in the Louisiana swamp/Everglades I believe.
I’ll search and see what can be found; will try to help you find it. Drives me crazy to try to remember. Doing that this week with a music Video played on Canada’s MUCH MUSIC station back in the 80’s Still digging for that one!!
You might search for the movie mentioned for clips, pictures just to see if anything looks familiar, while I do the same.
Later, gator!
The monster movies you’d most like to be re-introduced to.
Hope you are able to find some old favorites and, perhaps, some new ones as well
