"This Island Earth" 1955. One of the iconic 1950s sci-fi movies I saw when I was tyke.

That and Forbidden Planet.

Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite films. I’ll have to dig out the DVD for Thanksgiving!

and then there’s the remake rumors: http://www.scifimoviepage.com/upcoming/previews/forbidden_planet-remake.html

And War of the Worlds, 1953. The special effects in those films are awesome. I think today’s special effects suck for the most part.

“Forbidden Planet”

I read the book before the movie came out. ...Yeah, I was a sci-fi freak when I was a little kid and I still like it now that I’m in my 70s.

I watch the movie every time I can find it on a cable channel. It set a standard for the early sci-fi movies of the era and most of them failed; but were still entertaining.
