Invasion Of The Body Snatchers could have been a Mystery Science Theatre dud, but because it had good directing, writing and acting, it's a 4 star film. I wonder if Manos Hands Of Fate could've been a 4 star film if it had Orson Welles directing it?
  1:13pm
Nick Melucci:

The 70's remake is better.😄
  1:16pm
dan:

@Nick
I guess because it had Philip Kaufman directing it, and he went on to do "The Right Stuff", "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being" and "Quills".
  1:16pm
Eugene Bentley:

The original was historically more interesting than the remake, because it reflected the paranoia of the Red Scare at the time.

@Eugene...
Perhaps...but I prefer the dark ending of the 70s one.😄

Hey, Bob. Body Snatchers was filmed in Sierra Madre, just a few miles from here!

I saw The Dragon Brothers playing Pink Floyd type music live in front of a surfing movie at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in the early 70's. I do believe the band was simply called Dragon.
