    Hmm, most of these aren't really 'forgotten".
    First one that came to my mind is "The Legacy" (70s horror flick w/ Sam Elliot, Katherine Ross, Charles Gray and... Roger Daltrey)

    i remember The Legacy. filmed at an English estate.

    Yah I have the DVD but I haven't actually re-watched it. I wonder if it has held up well with time???
    Whoa, was there something about a really old guy dying, and at one point he reached out and grabbed someone with his creepy bony hands and put a ring on someone's finger? Because if so that gave me nightmares as a child when I saw part of it without my parents knowledge.

    Great topic!

    Does anyone remember "Night of the Comet?" That was probably the first sci-fi movie I watched when I was younger--wish I could find it to see again.


    OMG, this was just on a few weeks ago on TV. I think it was on AMC and I sat and watched the stupid thing!! I watch it every time its on!

    Did anyone mention Trilogy Of Terror yet? It was on TV in the 70's when I was a kid and gave me nightmares.

    For me, I would say High Tension and Martyrs (although I dont think Martyrs really qualifies as "yesteryear" it is kinda hard to find since my Blockbuster went out of business... Should have bought both of these movies then when I had the chance :cry:

    Martyrs! Did you hear they are making an American version? Sure to ruin it. :-/ And now I dying to watch Logan's Run and Point Break.

    Hmm, I don't remember that part. I remember choking on a chicken bone (I think that was Roger Daltrey), someone swimming in a pool and while underwater the top layer turned to glass, and something about a guy being fed to dogs. Oh yah, these were the types of movies I saw as a small child..
    Oh speaking of which-- Phantasm anyone?
    Now that one gave me horrible nightmares as a child but has not held up well with time.
