Brian Keith, Kim Novak, Guy Madison, Kerwin Mathews, and Alvy Moore in 5 Against the House (1955)

Every movie that I watch is listed here. I will also try to add movies I have seen in the past.

Randolph Scott in Thunder Over the Plains (1953)

Timothy Hutton, Andrea Piedimonte Bodini, Nicola Di Chio, Nicolas Vaporidis, Guglielmo Favilla, Cherise Silvestri, and Giuseppe Bonifati in All the Money in the World (2017)

Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

First of all, most movies on this list are not really bad. But they are not good either. In order not to bore you with every average movie I have seen I will restrain myself only to those of interest. That means you will find movies here that were successful at the box office but did not deserve that undue success or movies that did not stand the test of time. Other entries concern movies that are acclaimed by critics but to me are nothing short of being pretentious. Other titles could include films that were much talked about for whatever reason upon their initial release and therefore hold some kind of reputation that, however, do not qualify them for quality movies. You may also find movies here to which famous actors or directors contributed to but which are a let-down in the end nevertheless.

So, have fun browsing through my selection of the odds and sods of the movie world and let me know what you think.

PS: This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

Lynn Bari, Warner Baxter, and Andrea Leeds in Earthbound (1940)

Betty Grable and Sheree North in How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955)

Gordon Jones and Keye Luke in The Green Hornet (1940)

I want this list to be thorough, so it contains any film from 1920 through 1959 that: A) qualifies as horror, sci-fi, dark thriller, or dark fantasy, or anything else that a fan of late-night horror movies might crave; and B) Was was produced, released by, or owned by Universal Studios in the past or present.

This means it contains some movies that are lost, some movies that Universal no longer owns, and some movies (mostly Paramount) that it did not produce but has since acquired.

It also contains some films whose status as horror (or the other above mentioned genres and sub-genres) is questionable, or even doubtful, all in the name of thoroughness.

I hope to continue to update this list, adding new entries and describing the status of the more obscure ones listed.
