I love old 50's sci-fi movies. This is a good one although I've never understood why Kathleen Hughes was on the posters, she's in it for 30 seconds and her character never encounters an Alien! Never mind, this is a good film, directed by the brilliant Jack Arnold.
Classic monster flick penned by Ray Bradbury that's a cut above the usual 50s sci-fi fare. Strange how all scientists in the 50s were perfectly coiffed square-jawed americans in zoot suits...
for an old movie it's very good. made me think of the original war of the worlds. very good on atmosphere

A pure classic, i spent many hours watching this and other classics such as Them, Day The Earth Stood Still. Not seen it in years so it's probably quite naff by todays standards but i'l stand by it
Another 'Red Scare' Sci Fi classic. Came out the year Joe McCarthy was elected to office. Still, Lots of fun!

No. It's not your old English teacher, but it does have the classic, I-told-you-so element. Good fun, but definitely genre.
The Horror.. the horror... :)
The monster is ofcourse redicilous, but some scenes are quite beautiful
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "It Came from Outer Space" !
