Forbidden Planet (1956,  G)
Forbidden Planet
no doubts, one of the best EVER!!! grrr my ID monster it's still around, it makes me crazy, sometimes i'm too good...grr..
2
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951,  G)
3
The Thing from Another World (1951,  Unrated)
4
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956,  PG)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
One of my faves, great plot and great actors. Believe me, i never cared about all those 'elucubrations' about the cold war. For me this is a movies to enjoy only. Some of my friends told me it was better the original End (not a happy end as it is) ...nah!! Why to be so negative, let's hope for a better future, always! And this is the meaning of the movie, for me. It is enough one FREE man to have some chance, evil enemies they'll never win.
5
Them! (1954,  Unrated)
6
The War of the Worlds (1953,  G)
7
It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958,  Unrated)
8
The Invisible Man (1933,  Unrated)
The Invisible Man
Is it a horror or sci-fi? For me it's just a classic movie!!! from H.G.Wells great novel, i feel Dr.Griffin as a loser man, a scientist who becomes a Madman under the effects of Monocaine drug. Really super special effects from the golden era of vintage movies. I'm a big fan of the invisible man!!
hahahahahahaha!!!!
9
The Time Machine (1960,  G)
The Time Machine
great, HG Wells is one of my favorite sci-fi writers. One the best doubtless.
10
Village of the Damned (1960,  R)
11
On the Beach (1959,  Unrated)
On the Beach
To see it and see it again. Australia is the last in line awaiting the NUKE Fallout. People try to live as usually (F.Astaire wants to race, A.Gardner wants love...) but they know there's no escape.
Last Usa submarine (commander is G.Peck) is looking everywhere to find some livin' people (there is the famous scene with coca-cola's bottle sending morse signals) but it can't find some other survivors. Who put the Bomb first? Doesn't matter anymore...this is the end of the world! ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES ABOUT NUKE WAR.
12
The Fly (1958,  Unrated)
13
Planet of the Apes (1968,  PG)
Planet of the Apes
It worth 5 stars, effectly. The plot it reminds me the Twilight Zone's mood (and casually i remember when Roddy McDowall is caged in a ET's Zoo and another episode when astronaut crew who landed back on the Earth...).
When Taylor smokes a cigar in the Starship, before of the long sleep, it's the sign of a raw adventure. Taylor is
an outta mind human animal.
He despises everyhing (and whatta laugh about Usa flag ...maybe Heston smoked some pot actually) but not sex.
The movie is full of ironic and cynical quotes. The make up for Apes it's fantastic. The 'God damn you' ending it's a classic.
14
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957,  Unrated)
15
I Married a Monster From Outer Space (1958,  Unrated)
I Married a Monster From Outer Space
She married a monsters..mmmm.. but i liked that monster! 'It ' wanted to fuck a babe and have some children!!! Fuckin' heartbreakers... they saved the earth but not our hearts ...poor Things!! damn!
16
The Damned (These Are the Damned) (1963,  Unrated)
The Damned (These Are the Damned)
A cult movie. Director Joseph Losey at his best (and this is one of my favorite b&w Hammer movies). Here it's a sense of death, a dark mood. Everybody who discover the truth they have to die. And the truth it's that military and politicics they have a secret project: a new race of mutants. The Children of the Radiations. A sick, great movie.
17
The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1962,  Unrated)
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
damn here it's another great one. Do listen to the news about Poles and changin' of our clima...and if??? No, no i don't want to think about the reality....here it's pure Sci-Fi: A-bombs change the Earth's axis, in uk the lack of the water it's greatest problem. The hero of this story he's a journalist and he wants to do his job, to know the truth.
Where are the Governors, the Scientists ? Is it too late?? atrocious revelation: the earth is goin' to met the Sun...nice matter, uh? What kind of reactions should i, you have if we should know the truth?
A great Uk movie, don't want to write more, watch it.
Ps: I would like to know if James Ballard (he is great British Sci-fi writer, i have his novels about cathastrophic situations on the Earth...) had to do smtg with the script or if this movie it had some 'ideas' from one of the greatest Twilight Zone's episodes: The Midnight Sun.

watched it in 1973 first and last time. I'm not a big fan of jap sci-fi, sorry. Sometimes they have the good dose of idiocy, which i like, but generally they are too naive. I'll review very few of those jap monsters!

A family during his week-end trip has to face an 'extreme' situation: there's the beginning of nuclear bombing ! Society and Order are collapsing. Other humans (young teddy boys are a main danger ,for sure) they are a continous obstacle in the race for survival of the Family.
Good,moral,peaceful father (R.Milland) realizes very quicky there are no other ways to survive, he's breaking his moral barriers as well: it's the jungle's law! Many high tension scenes and an excellent 50s vs 60s mood for a very nice movie.

The Fear Chamber (Torture Zone) (The Torture Chamber)
outta mind mexican fanta-horror. Here you see:
1) a Scientist (Karloff in bad shape) created complex theatratical 'scenes' and a '600 torture chamber just to scare (hey but masked executioners they put the babes on the grill ouch!) hot young women and to drain from 'em fear's hormons so to feed an alien llivin' rock ..
mmm is he a bit mad...or not?
2) a bisex female assistant full of lust and sadism but really kind with his Boss...mah!
3) a semi-demented male assistant -Roland- friend of the alien,murderer and ...next King of the world ! He's the maximum idiot of this world, not the king of the world !
4) a dumb daughter (of Karloff) and ,for our good luck, her man (a clever expert of computers who save everybody)
5) a demented midget + a weird indian (dark glasses): they are in charge to scare (not too much) poor babes...! Bad end for the two guys, anyway
6) a 60s strip tease from a hot babe ...but at the topic moment we see nothing because the rock arrives first and it 'sucks' her...
arghh whatta trash of a movie ! i liked it ! two directors for such movie (and one is mr Hill, of 'Spider baby' fame )??? hahaha !

It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955,  Unrated)
It Came from Beneath the Sea
Hey i watched a newest coloured version of this good movie..well, i must say that 'normal' scenes with real actors are great in colour but the scenes with the monster.. it's too much cartoon!! Definitely i prefer my memories of that good old b&w movie. The attack to the Golden Gate it's much better in B&W. I liked the heroine character, here the men are heros, ok, but SHE's much stronger, determined to advise the world about the danger of that monster (ahhh fellows who put the a-bombs on the deepness of the sea?) and She's a free-spiriit.
Atomic submarines and the courage of the Navy's heroes they won the battle vs the hungry octopus., obviously.
I liked a couple of good moments: one it's when a dumb sheriff is eaten from the monster (he didn't believe to our heroes) and the other one is a scene of love ..that babe (F.Domergue) acted very naturally when she enjoyed the kisses of our untamed and handsome hero K.Tobey...maybe she didn't acted at all, haha! Do not ask me to eat octopus salad for a while , please...

the outer limits tv serie it's a dream for me. I've read about it on books and it is unreleased on italian tv.
A guy here bought the complete serie in Usa and told me it's a great mix of sci-fi,horror,fantastic. It's similar and sometimes 'harder' than Twilight zone ... wow...i need to see it!

    Hows Creature from the Black Lagoon so low? That's a classic and one of my favorites.

    I love Atomic age B-movies, but i'm more of a gothic horror kind of guy. The classic Universal (Dracula, Frankenstein ect.) monster's are my favorites.

    I didn't even see CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON on there, just the second in the series. I must have skipped it somehow while I was rating the films.
