@Pouncer: I tried to watch this last year too, and it was too bad even for the kitch fun, at least after about 10 minutes. Natalie Wood = least convincing Russian ever.

I haven't thought of this movie in YEARS, since my dad ran across it on the satellite one day and we watched it, and I kept asking "what the heck is going on, Dad?"

My TiVo decided to record this last fall. It was hilarious. So anachronistic in all the details, with bonus Cold War-era paranoia amidst the cooperation to save humanity.

I have a strong, indelible memory from my childhood of this film being shown on TV. What's such a strong memory is the announcer's deep, ominous voice on the commercials saying "METEOOOR!"

@MasterOfPastures: Meh. I've heard worse. Do a search for "9/11 Marketing" That came out about a year after the attacks, and they were ten times worse/funnier than your "Joke"

*yawn*

The best part of this movie is the musical sting used every time we saw the meteor cruising through space.

I had Connery on speed dial anyway, so I'm half ready.
