I was trying to find some random movie that I remember from my childhood. I don’t think it was a good movie. It takes place in space, some astronauts land on another planet, I think it’s Uranus, and as they are walking around they find this large sphere, if I remember correctly it looks like it’s made of crumpled foil, and it eats them. I don’t remember what happens while they are inside of the sphere but I remember seeing this on TV, probably in the early 70s. Anybody have any idea what it is?

Could it be “Journey to the 7th Planet”?

although those look kind of interesting. It was low budget and the premise was stupid but it didn’t have silly elements. It had a lunar lander type ship and the planet looked plain like the moon. There were I think only 2 crew members and they had very nasa looking spacesuits.
There are some other movies I’d kind of like to find. I remember seeing a fairly long and serious made for TV Frankenstein movie. It was on CBS. I remember a 3-5 part Dracula series on PBS, probably from the UK, also fairly serious.
Actually I guess those are easier to search for.
unfortunately the comments say that half to the series has been cut for the video. WTF?
The other movie looks like it’s probably
I’m guessing it’s that one because the user comments say it was shot in a kind of Masterpiece Theater style.
You seem to be describing two different films. Your vague description makes me think of two different films.
As for the FRANKENSTEIN bit – it was cut for video so it would fit on a single tape and thus save the distributor money. Perhaps DVD will rectify that. I’m gambling that you are talking about the Dan Curtis production. The sci fi channel showed it uncut but with commercial interruptions about 10 years ago or so.
