“Earth Versus The Flying Saucers’’ “The Thing’’(1951)
In my opinion, the two most under-rated Scifi films are
“City Beneath the Sea”, with Stuart Whitman. Set in the future, it used some of the props from “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”, including the Flying Sub.
Doppleganger, called “Journey to the Far Side of the Sun” in the US.
Certainly can’t leave out the larger than life insect movies.
Grasshoppers -”Beginning of the End” in 1957 w/Peter Graves
Ants-”Them” w/Fess Parker and James Arness from 1954
Praying mantris - “The Deadly Mantis”- another ‘57 movie w/Craig Stevens(Mr. Lucky), & William Hopper (Perry Mason PI
Giant crabs, giant birds;
Giant squids seen in “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” Kirk Douglas, James Mason
and though not giants...’Frogs” with Ray Miland (not his best film)
Saturday nights meant great SyFi movies shown on the local channel in Dallas Popcorn, Coke, and a floor cushion would be all that was needed for a good Sat night watching the films
