  First men in the moon

Post by Robby Amper »

Do you remember that movie? Where an crew, combined from a whole lot of nations land on the moon, and they discover an old british flag that says that the moon is part of the British empire and from now on is under the command of Queen Victoria. In the year of the Lord 1890. First they say: "That must be a fake!" But soon they discover that anyone must have brought it up there...

The film was made in 1964. Ray Harryhausen did all the stop motion effects and Charles H. Schneer was the Director.

Here's a video link. I hope it works... http://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi937952281


I remember Professor Cavor and his fantastic invention. "Cavorit" :)
Anyone else?

I remember the original , but not the second one you mentioned.
That would be a shock to discover something like that.

I haven't seen this one, but it looks like a very interesting concept! I would like to see it.

It's a bit before my time, I have not seen it. It looks enjoyable enough for a 50 something year old movie.

My first sci-fi movie experience at the cinema was The Black Hole.

I'm working on it!!! Actually, you guys, I rented it for 2 days and started watching it last night. I'll finish it tonight. It's good. Completely far fetched, but really fun. I think ill like it. Give it a shot. You can rent it on Amazon.

I tried renting a movie on Amazon recently, but apparently I reside outside the known Amazon universe and it would not let me even pay for it.
Quite frustrating because there are a few lesser known films on there I would like to watch.

What about the IMB website that Robby posted the trailer from?

Actually, I think I have read the book.
I always felt that Cavor and the Cavorite was a bit of a ripoff from Verne´s Zephyrin Xirdal and his Xirdallium.
Or should we say "inspired by"?
:P

Of course I remember! Sorry Robby, I missed this until today! The scene where the wasp is sealing the couple up in the hive scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. :)

Jessie, I was prepared to refute you but I looked it up and you're right. Please don't take away my nerd card! :p

You are a much more awesome nerd than me. I specifically went out and rented this movie and had just watched it because poor Robby had no fellow nerds to love this movie with. At first I thought I had missed something, but then I remembered Mysterious Island had wasps....Still a nerd. My nerd was just fresher nerd than yours this time.

Hi Robby, I know I’m a little late to the party, but as you know, I’m new here. Anyway, I LOVEDthat movie as a kid, and I still do. Once in a blue moon, it’ll come on TV, or I’ll run across it somewhere. Its so fun to watch every time I see it.

Never ever heard about that one which actually surprises me a little bit... Sounds like the kind of movie that should have been on TV in the 70s and 80s every other year. Like „The Time Machine“ (also based on H.G. Wells) by George Pal, that was one of my favorite childhood movies.

The George Pal version of the Time Machine is still one of my favorites. I hated the remake though.

Michael, for me it was the Morlocks that lived underground that scared me. I hated the glowing eyes in the darkness of the underground machine works.
Especially the one that decomposed with the time laps photography when he accidentally went into the future a little.

Oh yeah Ron, I remember that! That was awesome, especially for the time. I really have to watch that again.
