I reactivated my Netflix account recently. One of the reasons I love Netflix is they have a TON of Mystery Science Theater movies to check out. I really miss that show.
So, are there any MST3K fans here? If so, which movies should I check out first?
I've already have Manos: Hands of Fate. :-)
-
The Beginning of the End is the pinnacle of MST3K. (Peter Graves and Giant Man Eating Grasshoppers)
Though I do admit, I never saw Manos.
-
I sure miss MST3K, sadly at the end it seemed like they couldn't get any more films, I gather it had something to do with even the people with the rights to the cheapest and schlockiest films took offense at being openly mocked.
-
I have Manos too. :-)
My favorites episodes are.
Boggy Creek II: The Legend Continues
The Creeping Terror
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
and
Prince of Space.
-
One of my all time favorites. The best being the Ring of Terror.

I don't remember that one! I will look for it. Thanks, Mr Mann.

They started mocking short films, new feature film previews...that's when you knew MST3K was on it's out.
It's sad because I haven't laughed as hard as I have when watching these movies. Which is why I love Netflix. I can still occasionally get my fix this way.

I don't remember the Santa Claus one but I have it in my queue. I remember Prince of Space! That's a great one.

I don't remember Ring of Terror either. Although, I'm sure if I see it, it will come back to me. *goes to check Netflix for this one*

The one where the people are on an island and there are giant spiders everywhere. I don't know the name of it, but, it was funny.

I've got that one in my queue! It's called Horrors of Spider Island:
Mike, Crow, Tom Servo and the gang unleash their furious -- and hilarious -- critical powers on the lost "classic" Horrors of Spider Island, in which a group of go-go dancers fend off a menacing giant arachnid while stranded on a tropical island. The 1962 fright fest was also known as It's Hot in Paradise. Meanwhile, back on the ship, Mike finds himself entangled in a giant spider web, while Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy audition for a dance show.

One of the best shows ever! Love MST3K! (H5 for all the fans, lol)
Favorite? Hard to say, but 'This Island Earth' was a great one. ("MST3K the movie")

Yes -- get the Gamora ones (I think there are 2).
Also, Teenagers from Outer Space if they have it.
Dang -- I never thought of getting MST3K titles -- I fly (or will be flying) 15-20 hours a week -- what a great way to kill time.

Netflix has a ton of them.

Always like that show.

OMG, we'd watch tapes at work during lunch back when Joel Hodgson was host. A good friend of mine turned me on to that show.... probably in the late 80s. Joel was well known in comedy circles in the twin cities. A very talented young man.
