I wouldn't call them campy…perhaps nostalgic, earnest, innocent or just charming. A campy movie for me means something the cognoscenti amuse each other with by making fun of the movie, mainly because it's dated and awful. Well, everything becomes dated, one way or another. The better of the 50's science fiction movies were made with sincerity. If the acting wasn't all that great at times, it was the best the studios could afford. Computer Generated Effluvium was not around to take the place of human ingenuity and imagination. I find many of these movies to be not campy, but just…nostalgic, earnest, innocent and charming. For me, that makes them enjoyable, in moderation. At the risk of being hanged, films I consider campy have been made deliberately to emphasize style, directorial auteurism and with a need to be noticed. Two examples, which I think achieved campiness as soon as they were released, are Once Upon a Time in the West and Reservoir Dogs. I think both will wind up in 10 years on the TV show, "Robots Laugh at Human Films." **Departs quickly for nearest bomb shelter : - ) **
