The Green Slime comes from Japan, and so may be of interest to some members for that alone, but its SFX are just hilarious! My highest recommendation!
Soylent Green is really the only horror film of the buch, as it has the only plausible plot. Some may argue that 2001 & 2010 also have plausible plots, & that may be so, but you must be an astronaut for them to 'get you.'
