The Time Machine-Dream Works effort, great soundtrack + sound effectsMy favorite of all time, don't know the name, but a handful of surviving humans pursued by a single alien, in a gorilla suit, with a helmet with rabbit ears antennae poking out. Gorilla named Ro-Man lives in a cave blowing little bubbles. If you know the name of this movie, please let me know.
Follow Ups:
over 190 of them! I recommend some more for your consideration:
The Man From Planet X, When Worlds Collide, War of the Worlds,
This Island Earth, The Angry Red Planet, Invasion of the Body
Snatchers, Forbidden Planet, The Creeping Unknown, The Black Scorpion,
Them!, 20 Million Miles From Earth, Superman And The Mole Men,
Earth Vs The Flying Saucers and one that would rival Robot Monster,
The Giant Claw! The Mole People and The Brain From Planet Arous are
two more bad ones. Will add some more later that I can't think of at
the moment, especially the one where flying brains attach themselves
to the backs of people's necks and suck out their brains/spinal
cords! - AH
The Man From Planet X - saw it.
When Worlds Collide - saw it.
War of the Worlds - saw it and loved it.
This Island Earth - saw it.
The Angry Red Planet - don't remember.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers - saw it.
Forbidden Planet - oh yeah!
The Creeping Unknown - don't think I saw it
The Black Scorpion - nope (was that a jungle tank?)
Them! - oh yeah! classic.
20 Million Miles From Earth - yup.
Superman And The Mole Men - missed it.
Earth Vs The Flying Saucers - classic.
The Giant Claw! Missed it.
The Mole People - missed it.
The Brain From Planet Arous - did it live in a cave also?Thanks for the blasts from the past.
The Angry Red Planet: worth seeing for the red color filter and the
giant rat-bat-spider-crab creature and the giant ameoba with one
rotating eyeball!
The Creeping Unknown: First in the QuaterMass Trilogy based on the
award winning British TV series.
The Black Scorpion: Set in Mexico; giant scorpions live in underground caverns. Great effects by Willis O'Brien, mentor of
Ray Harryhausen. The scene where a scorpion strikes a telephone
pole lineman is an alltime classic!
The Giant Claw: a must see for the near zero-grade effects!
Fiend Without A Face: the film with the flying brains.
Others Recommended: The Incredible Shrinking Man; I Married A Monster
From Outer Space; Quatermass II(Enemy From Space); Kronos; The 4-D Man; The Beast of
Hollow Mountain (also set in Mexico with O'Brien effects, creature
is not a T-Rex, rather an Allosaurus; The Brain Eaters: The Original
PuppetMasters, shunned by Heinlen, featuring Leonard Nimoy!; The
Blob-with Steve McQueen,The H-Man (Japanese);Invaders From Mars;
Not Of This Earth; Rocketship X-M; 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
Of course, you've probably seen Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space.
BTW, I've seen one you like, The Crawling Eye with Forrest Tucker,
decent with suspense, only falters at the end with Z-Grade effects.
- AH

Rocketship X-M - good looking rocket ship
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - great images! Loved the Nautilus.

Mission to Mars was great.
Rodan.
Here's a link.
For the love of God,
NT!
