What's your favorite 1950's sci-fi movie?

[Creepy Green Light]

Seems like it would be difficult to manufacture and fly the flying saucers by beings/occupants that have no elbows, lol.

PS - I like the way they thought the saucers should be spinning back then.

I know there are a lot of great choices, but I especially like This Island Earth. That and War Of The Worlds. Love those two amongst many others. What about you?

Forbidden Planet

Earth vs The Flying Saucers gets my vote.

Damn those aliens! They took out the Capitol.

Remember, the song from The Blob?

The theme song was a jaunty little number called, what else?, the Blob, sung by the 5 Blobs (I kid you not). Most significantly it was written by Burt Bacharach and helped launch his career.

Ya, like it's not enough to just crash into national monuments, they had to saw their way through them ... LOL .

Anybody catch this one? Just watched it the other day.

I just watched "The Thing From Another World" for the first time last night. I've seen the remake 100x, but never the original. I actually jumped (which never happens with me during a scary movie) when they were up real close to the door and when they opened it, the Thing was on the other side of it and started roaring while taking swipes at the men, lol. I paused it for a second and chuckled to myself thinking "damn, you were expecting that, eh?"

Also, I noticed that Robert Nichols is in this movie. I knew him as "Joe", Dr. Mechums assistant in "This Island Earth".
