Original Invasian of the Body Snatchers

I watched this as a kid and was afraid to go to sleep for days - the seed pods falling out of the back of the truck is a scene I still have in my brain and it has been quite a few years.

Yeah, it was creepy. I love the overtones of communism in some of those 50's movies, hilarious!

Body Snatchers is still one of my favorites.

I even liked the re-make they did in the 70's with Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy.

This is one of my all time favorites. When Amazing Grace is being played on bagpipes and the networking of the pods is shown at the boatyard? FREAKING GENIUS.

A SEED IS PLANTED, TERROR GROWS.

This film has a wonderful look at SF in the 70s that isn't as gritty as the rest of the film that was coming out at the time.

Jeff Goldblum isn't bad in this either.

I liked this movie, but the lead actor kinda distracted me, because whenever I saw him I thought of Innerspace.

I, also, liked the original, 'INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS'! It did put the FEAR in me of going to sleep!!! The second make with Donald Southerland was good,too, with the horror a bit different. Especially when he opened his mouth and let out that bone chilling screech! I like him anyway! Has anyone seen him in 'VIRUS'?

I saw him in Virus. He was a super a-hole but I thought he did good for he plays a good asshole. He also has one of those voices that gets stuk in your head, like Vincent Price.

Keifer can't compare though. I did like him in The Lost Boys, but I'm seeing too much of him. I prefer Papa Sutherland.
