..I remember seeing the first Quatermass series (before the films were made) on the BBC when I was a kid - very frightening!
I believe I've seen all on your list, being a total sci-fi film freak, especially the '50s.
My favourites on your list are Invasion of the Boy Snatchers (the scene where Kevin & the girl are walking through the town of 'zombies' and she sees the dog run across the path of a car...)
The Incredible Shrinking Man with it's uncompromising end.
Them! the best of the 'giant radioactive insect' movies...
And the classic, Forbidden Planet.

You're welcome. Would like to add "The Black Scorpion" to that list
of recommendations. This film has the honor of Willis O'Brien
effects; btw, the giant spider in the cavern is one from King Kong-1933. The producers of KK deleted the giant spider-man eating
scene because they felt it was so horrific(due customer responses)
that it distracted attention from the big ape! Subsequently that
deleted footage was lost, so it is a thrill to see one of those
giant spidies! ~AH
As apart of the upcoming restored version of "King Kong" some stills of the spider sequence will be included.
