Rico,

I have a list of almost 200 sci-fi flicks from the 1950s, here
are a few that I've seen and recommend:

1-The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms-1953;
2-The Beast of Hollow Mountain-1956;
3-The Black Scorpion-1957;
4-The Blob-1958;
5-The Creeping Unknown-1956;
6-The Day The Earth Stood Still-1951;
7-Earth Vs The Flying Saucers-1956;
8-Fiend Without A Face-1958;
9-The Fly-1958;
10-Forbidden Planet-1956;
11-The 4-D Man-1959;
12-Godzilla-1954;
13-I Married A Monster From Outer Space-1958;
14-The Incredible Shrinking Man-1957;
15-Invasion of the Body Snatchers-1956;
16-It Came From Beneath The Sea-1955;
17-It Came From Outer Space-1953;
18-Kronos-1957;
19-The Man From Planet X-1951;
20-1984-1956;
21-Return of the Fly-1959;
22-Them!-1954;
23-The Thing From Another World--1951;
24-This Island Earth-1955;
25-20 Million Miles To Earth-1957;
26-20,000 Leagues Under The Sea-1954;
27-The War of the Worlds-1953;
28-When Worlds Collide-1951.

Note: There are four films on this list that feature stop-motion
effects wizard, Ray Harryhausen: The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms;
Earth Vs The Flying Saucers; It Came From Beneath The Sea and
20 Million Miles To Earth. These effects are outstanding. Harryhausen's mentor, Willis O'Brien, did effects for The Black
Scorpion, with variable results. This film features one of the
giant spiders that starred in King Kong-1933; unfortunately, the
horrendous, man-eating scene by giant spiders in the ravine was
cut(and later lost)by the producer&director as they discerned from
customer post-reaction that those spidies were stealing thunder
from the giant ape! ~AH
