On a recent trip to the local secondhand store, I was digging through the bins of movies and found a DVD of The Day the Earth Stood Still. I already owned Forbidden Planet and had joked to my wife about collecting all of the classic sci-fi films referenced in the song "Science Fiction/Double Feature" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This idea was vetoed at the time, but I have never let that get in the way of some fun nerdery.

The list:

Forbidden Planet

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Flash Gordon

The Invisible Man

King Kong

It Came From Outer Space

Doctor X

Tarantula!

The Day of the Triffids

Curse of the Demon

When Worlds Collide

The real trick is to see how far down the list I can get before my wife notices that's what I'm doing.

As a bonus, I really need to find another copy of the 1960 edition Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson as the dentist patient. It's not in the song, but I lost my VHS copy at some point and I want to have it on DVD.
