Should be on list:

[Overwatcher]

Unbelievable! Not one mention of “Plan Nine From Outer Space,” starring Bela Lugosi and Vampira and Thor, and of course narrative by the Great Cristwell, with supporting help from Bela Lugosi’s dentist who filled in for him when he died during the movie’s filming.

[RegulatorCountry]

The author doesn’t seem to have delved into the genre in any depth. Almost exclusively mainstream, predictable fare. There are cult classics galore missing, let alone various offbeat indy efforts verging upon artsy. “Enemy Mine.”. “Barbarossa” belongs if “Brazil” does. Comicbook superhero franchise movies don’t qualify, imho.

It’s a crummy commercial!

16. I don’t like sci fi.

[2CAVTrooper]

29 of them

If they listed a few others such as War of the Worlds (both of them), the other two terminator movies, and the other Matrix movies to name a few I’d have a better score.

[Beowulf9]

Btw I saw 34 of these and not all or by any means all of those were what I considered great.

I would put all of the James Whale Frankenstein’s in there.

[Jim from C-Town]

38 God I need a life. Some of them I read the book. Lord help me!

[Enterprise]

40

[Uncle Chip]

Where is “Rodan” on that list?

A giant pterydactyl is hatched out of a coalmine and wreaks havoc all over Japan [and American television screens].

[Steve_Seattle]

Missing: The Day the Earth Stood Still (original version), Target Earth (classic 50s “B” movie), The War of the Worlds (either version), and The Time Machine (1950s).

[Lurking Libertarian]

There were a couple I’m not sure if I saw or not, so my score is somewhere between 40 and 42.

[Conservative4Ever]

36

[Darren McCarty]

Where’s Demolition Man? That’s America in 10 years....

[Cold Heat]

aaaaaahhhh....Just a 41.....

[Toddsterpatriot]

43

[PLMerite]

I’ve seen 44 of them.

“Them!” and “The Thing From Another World” are missing. Probably several more if I could get my thoughts together this late at night.

[ApplegateRanch]

37

[Bender2]

Of the 50, I have not nor have any interest in seeing Akira, Cloverfield or Dark City while with Children of Men, A Clockwork Orange and Inception, I started watching them, but they did not hold my interest enough to finish.

Of the Science Fiction Films of the 50s, these came out during my childhood (3 to 13 years old) and I can say I saw all of them and of these, Them, The Thing from Another World, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and War of the Worlds stand the test of time as being among the best Sci-Fi films every made even with their special effects being no where near the CGI standard of today. They had plots, something seldom found in Sci-Fi flicks current produced.

Plus, 1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon made a man of me in my seventh year as I fell completely, totally in love with Julia Adams... and am still of that affection 59 years later today.

And while Plan 9 from Outer Space is touted as the worse Sci-Fi film ever made, it caused 1994's Ed Wood to be filmed and that makes it aces with me as Johnny Depp nailed Ed Wood's character and Martin Landau's Bela Lugosi is superb.

[Organic Panic]

There are a couple real stinkers there. AI was one of the worst movies I’ve sat through. Children of Men was hardly better.

Otherwise 44
