The Dudes get blasted with radiation in 1957’s The Incredible Shrinking Man! What first seems like a silly tale of nuclear danger turns out to be so much more, tackling philosophical issues about what it means to be human, and how we too often take for granted the small things in life. Great special effects, and a compelling story will leave you talking about this gem long after the credits roll. And you’ll never look at your cat the same way!

The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) – Directed by Vincente Minnelli
Bug (2006) – Directed by William Friedkin
