Mystery Science Theater 3000
« on: May 05, 2008, 11:25:52 PM »
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.

One of my all time favorites.   The best being the Ring of Terror.

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 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:

Quote
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.

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.
