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! - Missed it.The Creeping Unknown: First in the QuaterMass Trilogy based on the
award winning British TV series. - Missed it, darn!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! I remember that one. O'Brien effects were a bit jerky.The Giant Claw: a must see for the near zero-grade effects! never saw it. Did it come with butter and lemon?
Fiend Without A Face: the film with the flying brains. Nope.

The Beast of Hollow Mountain (also set in Mexico with O'Brien effects, creature is not a T-Rex, rather an Allosaurus; Big meat eater.
The Brain Eaters: The Original PuppetMasters, shunned by Heinlen, featuring Leonard Nimoy! - terrific!

Invaders From Mars - oh yeah!
Not Of This Earth - don't remember it
Rocketship X-M - good looking rocket ship
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - great images! Loved the Nautilus.
Of course, you've probably seen Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space - yes, unfortunately.
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.
Yes, but the sleek Canberras were beautiful warplanes which closed those darn eyes.Others
Mission to Mars was great.
Rodan.
