Awesome / The Blob (1958)

• The Gondor Calls for Aid scene where the teens make as much noise as they can to call in The Cavalry. The best part? It actually works. While at first reasonably confused and irritated, the adults do eventually listen to the teens.
• Unlike everyone else with sense enough to run away, brave little Danny heads straight at the Blob and tries to attack it. Admittedly he only had a toy pop-gun, but he gets points for trying.
• The fact what is seen as a typical cheesy drive-in B-Movie was apparently good enough to qualify for The Criterion Collection.
