  1. Nathan Juran's 20 Millions Miles From Earth (1957)

    "The first spaceship to visit Venus - the XY-21- crash lands in the sea, freeing a small native Venusian creature called the Ymir. Eventually growing to enormous size, it threatens the city of Rome."

    Based on a concept by Ray Harryhausen, who once again demonstrates the magic of stop motion.

  2. Nathan Juran's Law and Order, a 1953 remake of the extraordinarily dark 1932 western of the same name, based on the W.R. Burnett novel Saint Johnson.

    With Ronald Reagan in the role played by Walter Huston in the '32 film. The '53 version is OK but nowhere near as good as the original.

    You should never remake a truly great movie.
