Forbidden Planet is still a great movie today. While This Island Earth is a bit more dated and scientifically implausible, it is also a good movie.

As for production of B movies, the 50s were unparalleled, with classics like Them and The Monolith Monsters.

And it was when the Japanese got started with Godzilla and The Mysterians.

A good decade.

Forbidden Planet was the first big budget SciFi that was shot in color.
