Recently I watched an old classic that a friend of mine suggested called Creature from the Black Lagoon. Now from the cover it looked really cheesy and stupid but within the first few minutes I was hooked on it. I'm big into monster movies like Godzilla were it's a guy in a costume. Anyways this movie had a bunch of things that made it good. One thing was that scenery was amazing. The shots for that time period were amazingly good and most of my favorite scenes were the underwater fight scenes which were very well. Also the scenery above the water the rain forest scenes were good to but I still prefer the underwater scenes.
Another thing that is amazing is that when i heard that there were two people who switched turns in the costume because one was a great swimmer who had to hold his breathe for six minutes and the other one had to be strong enough to carry people around. another thing that was great was the acting which wasn't bad like some movies except for the women in it always constantly screaming when she sees the monsters and the fact that it is a high pitched scream to makes it all the worse.This had a pretty original idea for that time period and deserves it's rightful place with the universal monsters.
