Invasion of the Body Snatchers: 50's Original & 70's Remake

[irishfury187]

they're just jealous of his glowing white teeth lol, they're whiter than the screen itself :-P

[FilmFanTV]

LOL... Thank you for the compliment ... and they're all real and original teeth too. - LOL !

[ratlover35]

good lord it was funny to read tha little dissing contest between youtubers and tha tv host!! :D

[FilmFanTV]

LOL - not half as funny as it was for me... as the TV host... dealing with the ones worried more about me looking "Grey"... than the story itself.

... hey, sometimes ya just gotta laugh... and roll with it.

God bless.

[cjdaweasel]

Didn't know about the Kevin McCarthy thing. Personally I like the 78 remake the best even though it came out half a decade before I was born. The 93 one was *yawn*

[Leadwerks]

It's funny how we are told that communism was a "big scare" yet if you look around you the proof the communists won is everywhere.

[olbear303]

Isn't that the guy from Animal House?

[tenmuchocuidado]

Arrogant human race thinking that they are they only race in the Universe when we are nothing in the eyes of the creator !

[BLUTONIUMBERRY1]

The ending in the 1978 version of Invasion of the body snatchers came out unexpectidly and was scary beacause I thought the ending was going to be normal

[TheXtro101]

They forgot the 3rd version of,"Invasion of the Body Snatchers".The 1990's remake,"Body Snatchers"('94),starred,R. Lee Ermey("Seven"&"Texas ChainSaw Massacre"remake)and Forest Whitaker("Panic Room"&"Phone Booth").

[Tbonyandsteak]

funny how simular it reminds of cloning

[fan0frammstein88]

cool im reading the book invasion of the body snatchers

[TheCyberToad]

When that perpetually corny and cheery presenter says "Pod people... with absolutely no personality," it freaks me out. It's like a twist of the plotline of the movies where instead of emotionless drones people become braindead, constantly smiling whitetoothed tv presenters who speak every sentence like they're telling the punchline of a joke. Almost more horrific.

[FilmFanTV]

Thanks for your input.... as the perpetually corny and

( happily ) cheery TV presenter - I am amused by your opinion.

... it is an entertainment show we do. To deliver the intro as false gravitas and seriousness... as if it were the evening news, would be even more ridiculous. It is simply a movie !

... as for the constant smiling - I'm a happy guy !

... as for the white teeth - good genes and simple flossing.

However, both me... and my two Emmy awards thank you for your input. God bless.

[Eldeecue]

For such a happy guy, you come off as sounding remarkably snide with this reply.

I enjoyed the clip, and thank you for posting it, but I have say I'm less than impressed with your presentation, now that you've drawn my attention to it here. You come off as quite disinterested and unnappreciative of the content, like you could just as easily be talking about dog food brands and are just going through the motions.

[FilmFanTV]

Thank you for you comment... and may God sincerely bless.

[Eldeecue]

It's doubtful that you'll allow this comment to see the light of day, at the very least perhaps you'll read it.. For some reason your snide response to CyberToad's comment has really struck a nerve with me.

New England Emmys. You won two _regional_ Emmys, which I think you should clarify. Just throwing out the term "Emmy" by itself makes most people think of something _quite_ different than what it is you've actually won; not trying to disparage your awards, though;it just seems dishonest.

[FilmFanTV]

Sorry to ruin your expectation of dismissal... but I will allow your comment to remain.

First, I was not "snide" to CyberToad. I responded politely... yet, in kind to his unnecessary personal attack on me. I post videos meant to entertain - the CONTENT is what's important.... not me.

If you don't like ME - don't watch the videos. As for the Emmys - yes, I'm proud of them. Regional Emmys are as distinguished as a national one - as a recognition by one's peers for a job well done. God bless

[TheRC120]

These movies are the best! I own them all, and am terribly addicted.

[misjahnner]

Nice, love Snatchers! I`ll try to find 50`s version.

[Legion153]

The 70's version is the best!

[lokeydaniel]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 remake)

Strange Invaders (1983 parody)

Body Snatchers (1993 remake)

Invasion of the Body Squeezers (1998 parody)

The Invasion (2007 remake

four movies all told

[tall32guy]

I'd forgotten that Veronica Cartwright was in that movie! Right before she started filming "Alien" I'm sure.

[Matanumi]

this has nothing to do with commueism anymore, and everything to do with the term, and the very idea of the "masses" and the "sheeple"

everyone who is still asleep is infected, and those who do not aecpt the new ideas coming around will remain so, only to become a pod person.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

The 1978 remake blows the 56 version off the screen...and the 56 version is one of the top 3 SF movies of the 50s.  Kaufman's reimagining is genuinely frightening, beautifully acted, and directed by a genius. The 1994 and 2007 versions are just meh IMHO.

[chrisizq]

This look back is terrible, the original wasn't about communist paranoia, because the protaganist is right. It is a warning of the evils of communism, not the paranoia. History vindicated the anti-communists of the day...look at the Alger Hiss trial. Thank God the US won the Cold War...I think if the Soviets would have won there would've been a lot more bloodshed.

[FilmFanTV]

Thanks for your opinion.

God bless.

[sonoki82]

Excellent point. I would also say that it doesn't really ring true that the 1978 version was a reflection on Watergate. Watergate was a sloppily run conspiracy within the Executive Branch for political ends. The pod invasion took place from below, i.e., among the general population, and had no political objectives. More likely that the 1978 movie was implicitly commenting on creeping cultural conformity.

[Eldeecue]

Hrm. The 78 remake's allegory was always a little hazy to try and pin down, whereas the original is very much communism/Mcarthyism, and the '93 remake is very clearly about the military.

As for the 70s remake, I always interpreted it as more of a paranoid take on psychiatry--given Leonard Nimoy's character, To say it's "about conspiracy" is kinda overly broad, I think. The entire Body Snatching process is a conspiracy just as much as it is about aliens.

[cochranexyz]

I saw the remake when it came out and never knew Kevin McCarthy was in the original. I kind of likeit when they do that kind of thing well in movies.

[000266617]

This and original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" are the only invasion movies I know where some people are rooting for the aliens, saying their ideas makes sense.

[DANNSKLUB]

4:32 So weird what happens to Nixon

[angehway]

i saw the '78 version last night; one of the best films i've seen in a while

not only did the ending scare the crap outa me (along with the man/dog...), it made me feel terrible (in that special, "makes ya think" way =D)

[platinumare]

I've not seen any of these movies, but it sounds like another movie borrowing the main theme has recently come out called "The Visitors" same thing when they fall asleep the alien takes over. Its got Nicole Kidman in it.

[thatrareguy]

love the ending of the 1978 movie

[luca89ilmigliore]

I love the end of the 1956 movie :D

[PatagonDane]

I think that the original story, by Jack Finney, is just great, so it makes all the movies, wheater better or worse, worth watching, jaja...i saw them all...and, they all scare the crap out of me, ja.

[qnznyc]

theres actually 4 versions of this film. one came out in the early 90's. took place on a military base.

[lilmommakc]

Could you please tell me the name of that one, I have been wanting to see that, its been so long since I seen it as a kid.

[noun12345]

the 1993 one? its just called "body snatchers"

[Chuichupachichi]

correction! There are 5 versions of that film. Since the latest and the greatest was just unleashed upon the unsuspecting world population about 1 hr. ago. You can find it on my channel. However, you should view with extreme caution and a security blanket also. I am not liable for any damages which may occur, neither to cognitive functions nor to physical sexual ones. Viewer discretion, indiscretion and a therapeutic session are all advised. So are welders masks.

[wardlemike]

While the scene at the end where Sutherland tries to destroy a cultivation plant was, I thought, gratuitous and not keeping with the aesthetic, I really liked how the '78 version was filmed. Genuinely dark and creepy. Watched it last night on Halloween.

[Johnabraytis]

Where are the body snatchers when you need them? I'll bet the presidential election sent'em running back to their cursed galaxy.

[gargara]

I loved this movie. I was6 when I saw for the first time! :D..in italian.

[only257]

the invasion of the body snatchers 1956 was the best!

[jagpanther777]

the scream in the end on the '78 film reminds me of john carpenter's "the thing"

[reereereer12]

I think the 50's version is the best, but the 70's was a little scarier. I own them all, they're my favorite movie series ever!

[mosherdude2k8]

at the end he has no teeth:)

[feckingbillgates]

I want a dog with a human face.

[Zobor111]

Me too, but to blast with a 12 Gauge scattergun.

[halfhigh]

hahahah, the ending was hilarious

[onion47]

Isn't there 4 versions. 50's, 70's, 90's and 2007?

[PreviewSubscription]

4 all together Invasion of The Body Snatchers 56,and 78,Body Snatchers 93,and The Invasion 07.The 78 version was arguably the best,if you ask me.

[xJimmyJonesx]

i think u mean the 56 version...

[conawillvlog]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg­hh!!

[conawillvlog]

the scream in the '78 one is freakin weird

[fusionhybrid]

Thanks for the upload. M. Night Shyamalan said the original was the inspiration for his film, 'The Happening' and know I have a better idea of what he was talking about.

[jpx08]

The pod people are already here! Case in point? Carson Daly!

[jazzyfayy1983]

always though kevin costner remines me of kevin mccarthy

[BeondaPale]

Not scary on a horror way -- Scary in a mental kind of way

[Caitlinroxx01]

saw it its SO NOT SCARY!

[bloodawn5]

I saw the 70`s one and it disturbs me specially the dog,the scream and how they transform

[allertonoff]

70's remake is MEGA ! profoundly disturbing.

[MalReynolds01]

Me to,there is no coparision in the Film World. Even the Alien Scream didn top it ;)

[CaptainPie5]

that scream at the end is retarded yet scary. it freaked the hell out of me.

[lentajohn]

Merry Christmas Donald

[JuniorX]

the original is a classic

[ardent94]

i saw the new movie with nicole kidman when it first came out

[DavidEmage]

I love the Body Snatcher films (the first two) and the novel was great.

This segement rocks!
