  40. Zeta One (1969)

Under my new system of studying “old” sci-fi movies, I have decided to reject all of the following movies:

  1. Kiss Me Quick (1964)
  2. Wanda the Sadistic Hypnotist (1969)
  3. The Astral Factor [AKA: L’Étrangleur invisible] (1976)
  4. Cosmos: War of the Planets [AKA: Cosmo 2000 – Battaglie Negli Spazi Stellari] (1976/1977)
  5. War of the Robots [AKA: Reactor or Stratostars] (1978)
  6. Star Odyssey [AKA: Space Odyssey or Sette uomini d’oro nello spazio] (1979)
  7. Blood Tide (1982)
  8. The Galaxy Invader (1985)

Most of these are dumped for being too new, the others for being nudie-cuties that are not sci-fi enough. I feel bad about Blood Tide (with James Earl Jones) which is very “old” in spirit and The Galaxy Invader which is just plain crappy enough to count, too.
