I saw about twenty minutes of that on TCM recently (as TCM was playing in the background as we chatted about earlier) and really want to see it from beginning to end.

John Wyndham, the author of the original story, The Midwich Cuckoos, also gave us The Day of the Triffids and Out of the Deeps. He and John Christopher were the 20th-Century British specialists in The Epic Disaster and How It Will Affect England.

"Diplomacy" - Inspired by the real life Swiss Ambassador to France's effort to prevent the German Commander from blowing up Paris... literally! Most of the action takes place in one room but it's well acted and briskly paced. The soundtrack is amazing... the crack and thump of oncoming Allied artillery keeping pace with the dialogue within... Worth finding on Netflix...

Five minutes of one of the Transformers movies which my housemates were watching as I left the house to grab me a bite to eat.

The Mummy (1959). Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in this rather typical retelling of the story--archaeologists find the tomb of Queen Hotsitotsi, recover the artifacts, and haul the whole kit and kaboodle back to whichever institute they work for. Unbeknownst to them, the body of her lover High Priest Rutintutin was entombed with her because he broke sacred laws by trying to reanimate her dead body. Some guy in a fez shows up, reanimates Rutintutin's mummified remains, and sends him off to exact revenge on the archaeologists for desecrating the tomb. If you like Universal's Mummy franchise (The Mummy (1932), The Mummy's Hand (1940), The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), The Mummy's Curse (1944)) you'll probably enjoy it.
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), also starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. According to IMDb.com, Cushing and Lee became friends (while working on this movie) after Lee stormed into Cushing's dressing room and complained, "I've got no lines!", to which Cushing replied, "You're lucky. I've read the script." It's not horrible, but the story tends to stray here and there, and a key element of the original story (i.e., Dr. Frankenstein's remorse and guilt after having reanimated his creation with no forethought about what to do with it or it's quality of life) is completely absent.

Watched it myself, yesterday. One of my favorites with JW and MO.

Such a classic!

My kids love those films. They are on the living room TV almost constantly. I don't get why the transformers talk to each other- why don't they just bluetooth or something?

Well seeing as how they were introduced in the 1980s, they didn't have that stuff back then so it isn't part of the lexicon.

The last one, IMO, was just awful. I mean, so awful even the handsome countenance of Mark Walberg couldn't keep me from shutting it off!

Yeah, true.
I irritate the hell out of my kids by singing the cartoon theme tune from the 80's. And don't even get me started on 'why has Optimus got scratched paintwork when he's a robot and not when he's a truck?' (I can almost hear my girls groaning while I type this).
