Zontar Top Shelf Classics 1950s Sci Fi films part 2

Zontar Top Shelf Classics are the best of their kind. Not a tiresome numbered best of list, but an acknowledgment of quality that lifts it above the grey sea of mediocrity.  It is not a fixed document as The Editors and their Master from Venus are a fickle lot, reassessing  and rethinking the vast interconnected flows of Earth HuMan culture. 


Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956)  Ray Harryhausen brings life to flying saucers, and the destruction of Washington DC.



Forbidden Planet (1956) Eastmancolor and CinemaScope, the first electronic musical score by Bebe and Louis Barron, epic effects, and the inspiration for Star Trek TOS. The "Krell Arch" shows up all over the franchise. 



Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) classic brain control cold war paranoia. 




It Conquered the World (1956) Corman brings us the classic visage of the then unnamed Zontar.



The Brain from Planet Arous (1957) John agar is controlled by a lusty Space brain.



Quatermass 2 (aka Enemy From Space) (1957) Industrial bleakness enhances the horror of the discovery that the Aliens are well on their way to control. 



Invisible Invaders (1959) Edward L. Cahn's fevered dream has an Alien resurrected John Carradine foretelling the Earth's doom.

The Thing from Another World (1951) By far the best version with the hand of Howard Hawks showing with overlapping dialogue and striking cinematography. 




The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953) Hans Conried shines in the best adaptation of Seuss.



Invaders from Mars (1953)
William Cameron Menzies' masterpiece of childhood paranoid nightmares with incredible imagery.




Robot Monster (1953) One of the great Bad-Films.



Godzilla (a.k.a Gojira)(1954) The original Japanese movie is a moving anti-nuke statement. Zontar Magazine released the first subtitled home video of this back in the VHS days.



Them! (1954) The first and best of the big bug flicks.  



This Island Earth (1955) Technicolor and widescreen its like a 1950s Sci Fi short story come to life. Interocitors and the destruction of an alien world are but a few of the delights.
