THE GIANT CLAW (SONY)
Goofy but fun 1957 thriller about a giant buzzard from space that comes to earth to lay an egg!! Yes, that is the plot. And the monster looks like Big Bird on crack!! The leads all play it straight as they were originally told that the special effects were going to be done by a top notch team. Needless to say the monster looks silly and the actors were embarrassed by all of this when they later saw the movie.
However, it has gained a cult status and is beloved by 50's sci-fi film lovers. it's a great film to watch on Thanksgiving. Highly Recommended.
