Favorite Monster movies...

[corporalcripp]

How could anyone forget this? Frank Gorshin was in it.About a bunch of amorous "teens" being set upon by aliens in the nightime.The aliens went up in smoke when a light was shined on them.
It Came From Outer Space-Richard Carlson as an astronomer who finds that aliens have taken identities of people.Turns out the aliens were only repairing their ship so they return home.Think it's from a Ray Bradbury story.
It Conquered The World-Think it's Roger Corman's work.About a giant turnip-looking alien that spits out bat-like creatures to....oh,just see it.
Monolith Monsters-nice twist onthe monster attacks Earth theme. Shaft shaped crystals from outer space grow to enormous size,crumble under their weight,start growing anew,crumble, crushing everything under them,repeat,..just add water-lot's of water.

The first flick that you mention with Frank Gorshin was "Invasion of the Saucer Men". Hilarious movie! "It Came From Outer Space" was from a Bradbury story, and directed by the great Jack Arnold. He is the man that brougt you "Tarantula", "The Incredible Shrinking Man", and "Monster on the Campus" among others. Who didn't love the Corman cheapies, which have been mentioned thruout this thread, with one of my favs being "Not of This Earth". You are the only other person besides myself to mention "The Monolith Monsters" in this thread. A truly standout fifties sci-fi movie. As they grow they suck the silicates from everything around them. Grant Williams, who was also "The Incredible Shrinking Man", was great in this old flick. Good script and good special effects by Clifford Stine make this a true classic.
