Some old movies I could binge watch, over and over, and over again:

“The THING from another world” 1951 BW Horror, SciFi
This is the Casablanca of SciFi.

Yeah, it’s a circle. This must be a flying saucer.

“THEM” 1954 BW SciFi
The film has James Arness.

Everybody is wearing clear Paulson Bubble Goggles.

“Forbidden Planet” 1956 C SciFi

“The Invasion of the Body Snatchers” 1956 BW SciFi
I like Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter. They portray a quintessential 1950’s couple.

“The Fly” 1958 BW SciFi

I thought it unusual for a first film to be filmed in color, and the sequels to be filmed in Black & White. I then noted that they are wearing dark Bubble Goggles to view the tele-transportation.

“The Bat” 1959 BW Mystery, Thriller
This movie has Agnes Morehead and Vincent Price.

“The House on Haunted Hill” 1959 BW Horror, Mystery
Another haunting film with Vincent Price and others.

“The Time Machine” 1960 C SciFi
I like Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux.

“Quatermass and the Pit” 1967 C SciFi
This is a “creepy” good movie, with a neat story line regarding weird poltergeist-like appearances, and an underlying alien source.

“The Long Goodbye” 1973 Noir, Crime
Elliott Gould as iconic private detective Philip Marlowe, and we have a very young Arnold Schwarzeneger in his yellow underwear and good tan.

And once again I find myself watching “The Long Goodbye.” Having read the Connelly’ BOSCH novels, I became more familiar with the Los Angeles area, including Catalina Island. I just noticed a tribute to Dan Blocker in the closing credits, and then found that he was to have played the role that Sterling Hayden performed.

The High Tower, has it’s small garages at the base of the Tower. And, watching the movie, Marlowe is living in an apartment at the top of the Tower and he uses the elevator in the Tower. But Marlowe also drives out to the Malibu Colony, which is still visible from Google Maps Street View.

I love the “cat feeding” vignette.
