The SciFi Movies Less Watched

Fantastic Planet is another good one.

+1 dat. It's in my top Scifi Five.

I wracked by brain but didn't come up with it... and it's my avatar all along!

One of my favorite old movies is The Mole People. It definitely has that Merritt or Haggard lost world thing going for it.

It's a fun, albeit really low budget, John Agar pic. With some reworking it could be a good summer flick with CGI effects and action, although the whole "Sumerians living underground" thing is pretty silly. IIRC the high priest dude later played Alfred in the Batman series.

A couple of horror-themed cheese-balls right here:

This House Possessed

- an automated house goes nuts and tries to "keep" it's former owners' daughter

Invitation To Hell

- This one's got literally everything going for it: Robert Urich stars as a NASA scientist working on a super-suit for the exploration of Venus (complete with a flame thrower weapon in case astronauts encounter hostile alien life. On Venus. A planet with a surface temperature equivalent to molten lead) whose life takes a detour when he and his wife (played by Blade Runner's Joanna Cassidy) and family move to a different neighborhood and he starts working for another company whose health benefits include a spa headed by the sinister Susan Lucci (Days of our Lives)...

The Intruder Within a cheap but effective Alien rip-off set on earth on an oil derrick off the coast of Antarctica (ignore the shoreline in the background and headlights of during night scenes, please). Cameo by then-unknown Michael "Saul Tigh" Hogan.

The Bermuda Depths - a surprisingly good "sea tale" horror/sf movie. Won't spoil any details.

Satan's Triangle which is a little like The Exorcist meets any number of ho-hum docudramas from the 70s about The Bermuda Triangle.

The Lost Continent: I promise, the last nautically themed one on the list. You could make a good D&D adventure out of this one.

Frankenstein: The True Story because fuck yeah Jane Seymour!

and I'm done.
