I never got a chance to see the fifth PotA, but the fourth film was probably my favorite. Ricardo Montalban ruled, and Roddy McDowall has always been a favorite of mine.
If any of you are Roddy McDowall fans, I'd suggest watching Fright Night (the first one is the best). And while I don't particularly care for Charlton Heston, his film The Omega Man (also a book by Richard Matheson) is worth watching. Scared the gose out of me as a child.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Quote:The book's title is I Am Legend, one of the most unsettling and excellent books I ever read.

Matheson also wrote lots of original Twilight Zones, The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Night Stalker (doing the absurd vamp thing well before Buffy), and Bid Time Return, a book that was made into the movie Somewhere In Time- turned out pretty good, very close to the novel.

He also wrote A Stir Of Echoes and What Dreams May Come, both of which were turned into excellent films. I particularly enjoyed What Dreams May Come. It was visually stunning, not to mention the fact it has Max von Sydow in it.
