The Monster Movie & Its Discontents
Our next theme, Monster Movies, opens up to us a vast and rich field of films -- from The Mummy to Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster to Alien to Nosferatu to Gremlins 2. (Happily, many of these movies do in fact lend themselves quite readily to Marxist critiques.) Also, our new theme brings the club full circle: recall that we began in January of 2006 with the original King Kong (1933). (Everything has been pretty much downhill since.)
You all have a while to come up with your three picks for our next meeting, but here are some lists of greatest monster movies ever to help you out:
Also worth checking out: some opinions on the psychological appeal of monster/horror movies.
See you in May!
