(1929) Jameson Thomas, Benita Hume, Basil Gill, Humberston Wright.  This two-disc edition features 35mm transfers of both the sound edition and the silent edition (with music score) of this forgotten sci-fi classic.  An incident at the border of two futuristic countries leads the world to the brink of World War...

(1959, upgraded 8/31/23) Horst Frank, Michel Simon, Paul Dahlke, Herlmut Schmid, Christiane Maybach, Michel Simon. Another must-see film! A serum that keeps severed portions of the human body alive is used by a mad doctor on its own inventors decapitated head. Horst Frank, as Dr. Ood, is a total nut-job and gives what is easily one of the best mad scientist portrayals of the 1950s.  The insane purpose of his experiments is to give his hunchbacked nurse assistant a new body.  Creepy and atmospheric. A very gothic sci-fi horror film and one that we highly recommended. Please note that our version, which is completely uncut and in English, has the original U.S. Trans-Lux opening and closing titles.  From a beautiful 35mm print.

(1939) Aleksandr Shchagin, Sergey Martinson, Olga Shaganova-Obraztsova, Georgiy Uvarov, Mikhail Dagmarov.  This marvelous Russian fantasy is similar to Pinocchio.  It’s a combination of live action and animation and it’s filled with fantastic characters and magical moments...

(1966, Upgraded 12/10/20) Sonny Chiba, Emily Takami, Osamu Kobayashi, Andrew Hughes.  One of the most over-the-top schlock-infested Japanese sci-fi movies ever made. The world appears doomed when Nazo, an insane alien causes the planet Icarus to leave its orbit and rush headlong toward Earth.  Chiba and his scientists plan to destroy the onrushing globe with their “super destruction beam cannon,” which can literally blow a planet out of the sky...

(1934) Hans Albers, Brigitte Helm, Michael Bohnen, Ernst Kachow, Friedrich Kaybler.  This is a great early sci-fi thriller.  Albers (The Man Who was Sherlock Holmes) is terrific as the lone survivor of lab experiment for creating gold that was sabotaged by Bohnen, a power-mad industrialist.  Much later Bohnen persuades Albers to help him with his own gold experiments in a massive laboratory deep beneath the ocean—a laboratory filled with gigantic equipment and generators...
