I voted for TIE but anything with Robbie the Robot is good.

War Of the Worlds- 1958? version (of course I havent seen the Spielberg production) The Thing From Another World was good,but the remake was a classic!

You're right, I forgot "Forbidden Planet" with Leslie
Neilson. As well as "War of the Worlds". I thought "War" was later. One of my favorites! I have the original radio brodcast on vinyl. Next thread will be "Giant Insect Movies" Chee ------------- Wearing feelings on our faces when our faces took a rest... |

War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide, Forbidden Planet, and, for goodness sake, where is Invasion of the Body Snatchers! Peace. |

Not to mention Anne Francis. The Theremin was used for the soundtrack of Forbidden Planet, if I'm not mistaken.

| I like the early Quatermass film 'The Quatermass Experiment' (1958?).One of the creepiest sc-fi films ever made and one that has been copied a great deal.(It's the one where an astronaut comes back from space having had contact with a mysterious asteroid and now something about him isn't 'quite right'.ie he stares into the distance and doesn't talk..later he mutates into a hideus monster that is tracked down and killed in Westminster Abbey by Professor Quatermass) |

Gotta agree with Maani here WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE( an Acadamy Award winner to!!) is one of my favourite sci fi movies(there is talk of a remake...... shudder..what politically correct angle will they put in...
Forbidden Planet is one of THE great sci fi movies
and let me put in a plug for two interesting but obscure sci fi movies from the late fifties or early sixties ATOMIC SUBMARINE(with Arthur Franz)..featuring an early "hawks v doves" debate forshadowing the turmoil of the late sixties(as well as being an interesting sci fi movie all round) BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER....ATOMIC WAR IS HELL!!! |

Damn! I knew I missed some great ones. "Body Snatchers" is actually a favorite of mine. Couldn't sleep for weeks. ------------- Wearing feelings on our faces when our faces took a rest... |

Didn't Mystery Science Theater 3000 make fun of This Island Earth? -------------
