Title: Favorite sci fi movie from the 50s? Post by: Scott123 on March 02, 2021, 11:51:48 AM What are you favorite Monster/UFO type movies from the 1950s?
A couple I've watched over and over are The Giant Gila Monster, and Killers from Space. Title: Re: Favorite sci fi movie from the 50s? Post by: pacman000 on March 02, 2021, 02:07:23 PM First to come to mind was Day the Earth Stood Still.
Other good ones: Godzilla: King of the Monsters Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Blob Forbidden Planet War of the Worlds Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers When Worlds Collide Killers from Space is better than it's FX will have you believe; look past the goofy eyes & back-projection, & there's a decent abduction/invasion story.

Of all time. Of course, my tastes are not as refined I suppose by other folks. (https://i.imgur.com/nLnOkrN.jpg) (https://lunapic.com) Title: Re: Favorite sci fi movie from the 50s?

The remake of INVADERS FROM MARS (1985?) is better than it should have been. The original is a classic! Check out NOT OF THIS EARTH - my favorite '50s SciFi / Horror. It may still be at YouTube... well worth a look. Title: Re: Favorite sci fi movie from the 50s?

Post by: RCMerchant on March 03, 2021, 01:10:59 AM Being I'm an old weirdo Monster Kid you know I seen every one of those films. That makes it real hard!
I like good stuff like FORBIDDEN PLANET and garbage like the HIDEOUS SUN DEMON. I love them all. (https://i.imgur.com/9YRV1yG.jpg) (https://lunapic.com) Title: Re: Favorite sci fi movie from the 50s? Post by: Dr. Whom on March 03, 2021, 01:57:52 AM In normal circumstances I'd say The Day The Earth Stood Still, but as this is the Bad Movie Forum, I'll have to go with Robot Monster. Hard to beat that.

Post by: zelmo73 on March 03, 2021, 05:08:49 AM I've never grown tired of War Of The Worlds (1953). I've been watching it frequently since I was 4 years old in the late '70s. :cheers:

Post by: pacman000 on March 04, 2021, 12:10:18 AM Since this is the bad movie section, my bad sci-fi faves from the 1950s: I thought “This Island Earth” was usually well thought of. Even if it’s not, I’d recommend it. Sorry I forgot about it earlier.(Movies I own are marked with ***) Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) This Island Earth (1955) *** Bride of the Monster (1955) Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958) The Killer Shrews (1959) *** Return of the Fly (1959) *** The Wasp Woman (1959) (seen about 80%) The Crawling Eye (1958) The Giant Gila Monster (1959) The Monster That Challenged the World (1957) *** The Giant Behemoth (1959) *** The Amazing Colossal Man (1957) (MST3K version only) Attack of the Puppet People (1958) *** The Alligator People (1959) *** |
