First movie of the day is 1954 classic THEM!
Tumblr media
The film starts off with a little girl wandering in the desert in a state of shock. She's discovered by a sergeant and a soldier who take her to a nearby police station.

It's at the station that they try to get her to talk and realize how bad of shock she's in, they break out the smelling salts and the young girl begins to scream THEM!
They later find out that she was on vacation with her family, they go out to the camper marker and find it completely destroyed.
It's a creature feature so if bugs/insects aren't your thing I'd avoid it. It may be a classic but I've know people who are squicked out by it.

This one, like the other older films on this list, are all childhood favorites of mine and I never get tired of them

Them! (1954), poster, US
Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm).
Them! is a 1954 American black-and-white science fiction monster film from Warner Bros. Pictures, produced by David Weisbart, directed by Gordon Douglas, and starring James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, and James Arness. The film is based on an original story treatment by George Worthing Yates, which was then developed into a screenplay by Ted Sherdeman and adaptation by Russell Hughes.
Them! is one of the first of the 1950s "nuclear monster" films, and the first "big bug" feature film to use insects as the monster.
A nest of gigantic irradiated ants is discovered in the New Mexico desert; they quickly become a national threat when it is discovered that two young queen ants and their consorts have escaped to establish new nests. The national search that follows finally culminates in a battle with Them in the concrete spillways and storm drain system of Los Angeles.

December 28, 2023. 👍👍 rewatched on DVD. This is such an underrated movie. It always gets grouped together with all the B-movies of the 50's, when in reality, Them! inspired those movies. Damn, James Arness is frickin tall!

THEM!
None of the ants previously seen by man were more than an inch in length - most considerably under that size. But even the most minute of them have an instinct and talent for industry, social organization, and savagery that makes man look feeble by comparison.

all I knew going in was that the movie was called "Godzilla Minus One" and I was like "haha you mean there's no Godzilla in this? less than one Godzilla?" wrong, there was indeed a Godzilla. 11/10 movie
