time to travel back to an era where
flying saucers strange creatures and
exclamation points were invading the
world or at least our movie screens
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
science-fiction movies of the 1950’s
for this list we’re taking a look at the
most iconic films from the 50s that
shaped science fiction into the beloved
jaar it is today without them
popular culture not to mention culture
in general would be missing a beacon of
imagination and inspiration oh this is
part of a series of videos spanning the
decades of sci-fi flicks from the 1950s
to the 2000s if there are no objections
please start the drawing number 10 them
if you watch them without knowing
anything about the plot beforehand
you’ll probably be taken aback to learn
the vehm in question are giant ants
these two empty egg cases contain queen
ants even if insects weren’t what you
were expecting though the monstrous
insects are still pretty awesome
technical achievements constructed
through the finest practical effects the
50s had to offer
them works wonderfully as a big bug
movie notably being the first of its
kind they say they’ve never seen
anything like it
needless to say this black and white
horror film isn’t for anybody who
suffers from entomophobia is this it dr.
Daniel positions your Queens
yes this is the egg chamber the same as
we found it mixed number nine the blob
combining elements of sci-fi and horror
the blob produces the kind of popcorn
charm only 1950 cinema could deliver
come back come back the film takes place
in the classic small town setting in
which a meteorite lands
from within arises a gelatinous monster
that grows larger with each human it
consumes what does it he’s got in his
hand well I don’t know doc it was kind
of like a well a big booster on his
finger the town’s only hope is a 28 year
old Steve McQueen playing a character
almost half his age mmm I told you I got
to leave now the blob provides exactly
what one would want from an
old-fashioned monster movie
while also supplying a giant wad of
jelly with an intimidating presence
number eight the sing from another world
watching everybody and things out of the
greenhouse assuring stay together this
Christian naívi film follows an Air
Force crew stationed in the Arctic that
finds what they believe to be a fallen
plane an airplane alright instead they
uncover a flying saucer frozen in the
ice where a malevolent creature awaits
you I’m not your enemy I’m a scientist
I’m a scientist who’s trying
hiding this wild alien in the shadows
for much of the running time the thing
from another world is almost a
psychological thriller in its pacing and
tense plotting moving pretty fast wasn’t
it just as much as it’s a science
fiction horror flick
snowy backdrops only add to the isolated
tone amounting to one of the 50s eeriest
films which still has us watching the
skies few minutes from now we may have
the key to the stars a million years of
history are waiting for us in that ice
let me know who I want to get a picture
number seven
Godzilla Harini por lo Toma no tents a
sunny start a Madeira Gujarat o.o
joshimus retitled Godzilla king of the
monsters for the 1956 Americanized
version the original Japanese Godzilla
pioneered the cashews on many people
these days view Godzilla as nothing more
than a big silly monster but what’s
striking about the first Godzilla is how
seriously it takes itself drawing
inspiration from the atomic bombings on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
what’s more hitch this short on camera
though be back to when I do on you it
goes to show that while Godzilla might
seem like a simplistic character there’s
more to him than senseless violence –
aru
Shivaji Kineo pic career nautical Congo
that being said the action here is still
kick-ass cementing the prehistoric
monster as the ultimate beast yokai huh
I don’t know number 6 Forbidden Planet
something funny down a skipper where
many sci-fi movies of the 50s focused on
aliens coming to Earth Forbidden Planet
had the audacity to take mankind to a
foreign world beyond our wildest dreams
commander if you set down on this planet
I warn you that I cannot be ansible for
the safety of your ship or your crew the
film travels to Altair for which is a
bit like a planetary Garden of Eden full
of beauty and lurking with temptation
what
through this journey into the unknown
our heroes discover a wondrous lost
civilization ancient technology and let
us not forget Robbie the robot that is
correct sir for your convenience I am
monitored to respond to the name Robby
it’s an adventure that would impact
every interstellar exploration tale for
generations to come
number-5 Journey to the Center of the
Earth
wonderful to look at with a terrific
sense of adventure what really
distinguishes Journey to the Center of
the Earth is its delightful humor don’t
think of it but it must be true man took
some tools and went where no human being
had ever set foot alone went into the
interior of the earth the film follows a
band of witty heroes brought to life by
several charismatic actors and one duck
and Gertrude the duck providing a
welcome alternative to the blank slate
protagonist most moviegoers were used to
at the time although the film isn’t
afraid to be suspenseful and dark at
times – Journey to the Center of the
Earth mainly concerns itself with being
flat-out
fun oh they’re warning you’ll never find
your companions all your way out need me
as much as I need you stop and come back
number four 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
we got away is always the biggest one
Walt Disney was undeniably one of the
most influential visionaries who ever
lived the whale of a tale octo fish and
the girls I’ve loved on nights like this
with a moon above taking stories
everyone deemed unfilmable and making
them reality why didn’t you say so this
is what I’ve been waiting for so it was
only natural that he would eventually
tackle the science fiction genre I know
there would be a catch to this Disney
couldn’t have selected a more fitting
sci-fi project for his studio than
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
thank you baby along with director
Richard Fleischer Disney adapted the
classic novel by Jules Verne into a
sophisticated steampunk adventure with
inventive sets splendid visuals and the
most memorable giant squid ever put to
film
number three invasion of the body
snatchers when they finished what
happens to our bodies this is definitely
one of the most unique alien invasion
movies of the 50s plants from another
world taking over human beings matt is a
March Hare the audience virtually never
sees the aliens or their technology
excluding the pods from which they
emerge the whole town’s been taken over
by the pod
this just adds another level of suspense
to the narrative though reminding us
just how effective the unseen can be but
if you’ve seen it you’d understand why
we wait
throughout this science fiction horror
flick the filmmakers also provide an
open-ended allegory that hints at the
dangers of conformity and communism as
far as low-budget B movies go invasion
of the Body Snatchers is great a movie
magic number two the War of the Worlds
super-science menacing all mankind and
every creature on earth comes the wall
of the world fifteen years after Orson
Welles all too convincing radio
broadcast hg wells the War of the Worlds
was adapted to the screen through the
skillful direction of Byron Haskell the
Martians in this version are among the
most distinctive of the time do you
think they come from are oozing with a
colorful flair the film not only looks
great but sounds fantastic too summing
up the majesty of 50s sci-fi with a
single laser zapped
this is arguably the definitive picture
about aliens attacking man further
popularizing the formula and archetypes
we’ve all come to know and ripoff before
we take off to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
here up the whole town till she finds
Eric and until Tara Perry I know
stop antennae he’s close enough
turn off your electrode gun Oh
number one the day the earth stood still
got Moringa most space invader movies
from this period put an emphasis on the
destructive nature of aliens
I’m all good
in this Robert wises classic however
aliens aren’t humanity’s inevitable doom
but a voice of reason we have come to
visit you in peace and with goodwill the
black and white movie makes intelligent
commentary on mankind’s greatest flaws
that have led to war and Prejudice I am
fearful when I see people substituting
fear for reason in doing so The Day the
Earth Stood Still proved that science
fiction could be more than just a can’t
be good time at the movies buddy agrees
there is grave danger the question
remains what can we do to protect
ourselves the genre could also be used
as a vessel to tell meaningful stories
about Society your choice is simple join
us and live in peace or pursue your
present course and face obliteration do

sci-fi movie from the 1950s for more
