The Blob (1958)
Director: Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.
1. Steve McQueen.
2. An oozing, all-consuming, evergrowing gelatinous mass.
3. A cheerful, catchy title song by co-written by Burt Bacharach.
What more could you ever want from a film? This is a work of pure genius. It manages to be corny yet somehow horrific, deadly serious yet deliberately OTT and ridiculous, and it may be an hour and a half of watching a small town being terrorized by a crappy piece of jelly but it's brilliantly entertaining.
