Welcome Back Sci-Fi and More Galaxy, and thank you for joining us for our third installment of the Top 10 1950's Sci-Fi Movies: Underrated and Under Appreciated. Just like in Part 2 of our series, none of the videos featured in our previous 1950's Sci-Fi videos will be featured and the list for this video was build off of the number comments per movie featured I received over the last two videos. If you have not seen Part 1 of Part 2 of our Top 10 1950's Sci-Fi Movies videos, I have posted the links below. Thank you all for watching, and have a great Galactic Day.

@dokaos924, Thank you for your comment and we are glad you enjoyed our video. I agree with you, movies from the 50's had such an appeal to them. It's interesting that the movies from this era get remade on a fairly consistent basis. My belief for that is because those movies had to rely on delivering a much stronger story than just delivering special effects that too many of the newer movies depend on. Again thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated, and stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great day. Mike

The second film, Revenge of the Creature is pretty good as well. The third one, The Creature Walks Among us, thats a tough one. Let's just say it's an acquired taste. Not good, not bad, just different. Thank you again for your comment, it is a greatly appreciated. And stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great day. Mike

@detroitdan8487, Thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed our video, and I apologize for my late response to your comment. I had to be an "Adult" for a couple of months. I agree with you, "IT" is the 1950's Alien. I saw both those movies when I was a kid, but I saw them in reverse. I saw Alien first, then one good day on the local Detroit Creature Feature in the 70's I saw IT, and the kid version of me thought, I've seen this move...This is Alien. I have a draft I'm working one right now for an Alien vs IT side by side comparison video. I don't have a title yet, and my research is very limited at this point. But coming soon because this conversation has come up a few times throughout all the comments in our 1950's Sci-Fi movie videos we have done, so I thought it's time for a side by side comparison video. Anyway, thank you again for your comment it is greatly appreciated. And stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi on the way. Have a great day. Mike

@scifiandmore Місяць тому
@howardmandel7930 Thank you for your comment. I have to say out of all the comments I have received over all three of these videos, you are the first one to point that out. And you are not wrong. When I did the first one, I knew 10 was going to be very light. But the idea with the first one was to just gauge interest, so I went with the top of mind favorites, or more specifically, titles that are easily recognizable. I had no empirical information to go on when generating the list, so it comes across as more of a personal opinion. After the first one, the comments came in with some really great suggestions and then I built the lists for the next two videos with the viewer and subscriber suggestions in mind. I totaled up how many times each individual movie were mentioned and based the lists on those numbers. I'm glad you enjoyed our video, and thank you for watching. And stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi on the way. Have a great day. Mike

@ThomasWLalor, Thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed our video. I agree with you, these movies, even today are a great diversion. I have always felt like the best part of the 50's and 60's movies were the fact that the special effects were not what they are today, forcing a greater emphasis on a much stronger story. I've always appreciated that from all of these movies. Not all of them from this era have compelling stories, but a lot do. And thank you so much for subscribing. Once we get through the holidays, we will be right back to creating videos with more regularity, but until then, stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come.

I included the Maze, because when I was making the list for this video, The Maze, along with the other movies that were represented in the video, came up a number of times in the comments. So based on the number of times each movie was mentioned in the comments, thats how they fell in the ranking. It's very difficult to respond to all the comments just due to the shear volume of comments. So I thought, we can make the comments have some real weight by taking the viewer and subscriber comments and suggestions, and preparing a video based on what the viewers suggestions were. For people that did comment that I couldn't respond to, I wanted them to feel heard. Again, we hope you enjoyed our video, and thank you again for your comment.

@randyflynn6402, Thank you for your comment. The old Monster Movies, are just special and just resonate. I was toying around with the idea of exploring the old monster movies a little closer with stand alone videos highlighting either the monster itself, or just one movie that features a specific monster. And, we do live in an interesting time with fresh movies continuing the classic monsters. There is a new Godzilla/Kong movie coming out in the American Monsterverse series, along with the Monarch series on Apple TV, which seems to be a direct sequel to the 2014 Godzilla movie that took place in San Francisco. And Japan has the new "Godzilla: Minus One" movie coming out soon. That Minus One movie looks fantastic. Lately, I've been wanted to check out Ishiro Honda's two 1950's Sci-Fi films, The Mysterians, and Battle in Outer Space back to back. Today might be a good day. It's Halloween, and it's raining. Perfect movie day. Thank you again for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. And, I'm glad you enjoyed all three of our 1950's Sci-Fi videos. Stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi on the way.

Most of these films were part of my youth. Usually viewed on WPIX NY channel 11's Chiller Theatre or WORTV NY channel 9's Fright Night. So much of my adult life would be shaped by my experience of these films. Modern films don’t take many risks (although short original independent films on UKposts such as DUST now fill that gap) the way these films did. I just rewatched George Pal's classic When Worlds Collide. The powerful emotions rendered by the superb script, ground shaking effects, and enthusiastic performances by the actors make this film a great experience. When John Hoyt as the unpleasent Mr. Stanton is seen getting up out of his wheelchair as he stumbles to get on the departing spaceship he paid for, you can cut the tension with a knife! And I simply MUST site the absolutely NEVER-equaled scene where the surface of the earth is RIPPED away by the gravity Bellus. As a kid, this one scene left me with my jaw dropped every time i saw it!!!

Another great Quatermass movie was called "Five Million years to Earth", and it is SO well done that I watch it every chance I get and I am 72 years old! I have enjoyed watching most of the movies on this list (the Mysterians was, I believe, the first movie, certainly the first sci-fi movie, I ever watched), and I will also check out your other two videos to see if 5MYTE is on any of them. I doubt it's underappreciated. (Edit note: I see it's from 1967, and thus probably not in your list. When will you start on the 60s movies? There are some real jewels there!)

The Maze may not be the best 3D movie ever but the gorgeous monochrome photography means it's definitely one of the most beautiful. William Cameron Menzies spent much of his career bringing a 3D look to 2D movies. Eventually he got the chance to direct an actual 3D movie just a few years before he died. Kronos is great and only let down by the unconvincing animated legs on which he goes walkabout.

The creature from the Black Lagoon is the one that comes to mind as being the one film that was consistently aired on TV in 3D. And it has been a number of years, but I don't really think I've ever seen the Maze in 3D. But now I want too. Kronos, was interesting. It is a great movie, no doubt there.

The 50s classics and, indeed, most other 3D movies were originally meant to be seen using Polaroid glasses, a vastly superior format. Although anaglyphs work OK with monochrome movies, they're not much use with color movies. Modern passive 3D TVs also used a form of polarisation.

While I agree with you overall, The Lost Continent is about as rated as it deserves. There are far better examples of this sort of "lost world" movie, even from this decade. I also have to say that the popularity and significance of the TOHO studio contributions are as much a result of American International (and other US studios) as the creative minds of Japan. The Maze is a genuine addition to your list as it seems too "sophisticated" to have been a staple of independent television station's Monster Lineups, though I would categorize this more as Horror instead of Sci-Fi. Put it on the shelf with The Wolfman and not Frankensteine. Great post and thank you for all your hard work.

Someone had to say it. Like you I appreciate the effort put in to promote these movies, but The Lost Continent is just terrible. The effects and fake sets (camouflaged with tinted film stock) are so poor that they are more likely to kill off the genre than drive it onwards into 'groundbreaking' territory. I realise there is room for opinion and subjectivity, but the descriptions used in the accompanying narration are hyperbole or just plain wrong.

I was born in 1965 so by the time I started noticing, watching (and reading) and appreciating science fiction, new scifi movies and books were set in an era where space exploration was well established. So the more silly or impossible aspects of older scifi didn't make much sense to me: life on Venus, women (but no men) on the moon, monsters who are obviously people in rubber suits, etc. But if you can suspend your disbelief and see the old movies through the eyes of people who actually lived in the 1950s you can enjoy most of them. By the way, silly impossible scjfi movies are still being made atm - like "'The Core"'. Thanks for this overview, I might want to watch a couple of the movies.

I distinguish between color and B+W because they are so different in how we remember them. Color is about intense visuals that sometimes over-ride even the story. It is the visuals that stay with you years later. The flying cubes in 2001as an example. B+W, like a charcoal sketch or a dark memory, more easily allows the viewer to suspend disbelief. It is the story that stays with us on these low budget gems. Full credit to you for this series but it is my belief the B+W and color should be in separate categories.

I watched When Worlds Collide online several times, and while I can see the elements that clearly fell victim to studio meddling and budget cuts - most evident in the ending with a rushed matte painting and awful Wizard of Oz choir music - most of the movie is very enjoyable, particularly the rebelliously carefree but ultimately noble lead character David Randall. Definitely an underrated movie! The writing overall is pretty decent for an early 1950s flick, once we're passed the dated opening narration telling us that "there are more stars in the heavens than there are people on earth". (A little like saying there are more grains of sand on Earth than there are french fries on your dinner plate). My only other gripe is the imprint of the Billy Graham era on the film. George Pal was a producer par excellence but he was also a religious man.
