Slojo would have you shot down----over the ocean of course.  I went to see this movie when it appeared in theaters. It had the first fairly believable special effects and of course, the lovely Ann Francis. The theater was packed, there was a tremendous thunderstorm about three fourths of the way through the movie, and the power went out for thirty minutes or more. Almost no one left but when the movie was over we exited to find about six inches of hail covering the sidewalks and streets. I finally found a copy on dvd several years ago so I could rewatch it.

It was kind of the forerunner of Star Trek.  Fairly high tech for the 1950's.  Great movie.

I’m trying to catch up with disk ,DVD and Blu-Ray on those old ScFi movies. I had some of them on VHS tape once but that stuff is so old hat and so are the players. They also screw up a lot. Ive found a good place and a seller that has them and gets them to me in three days, good prices and free shipping. Forbidden Planet was only 10.89 brand new Blu-Ray. They sell just about everything not just SCFI. It’s a company up north called Declutter with a website.

Gone with the wind, Spartacus , about anything you can still remember , lots of westerns, war movies, they also sent us a magazine.
Wife buys chick flicks and religious movies among others.

The only real problem with VHS is the space they take up.
Five VHS tapes take up space for ten plus DVDs.
At that you can find them at antique and thrift shops for a couple of dollars or less. 8)

You can still buy a VCR but why bother. Blu-Ray movies are sharp as a razor.  And you can play a DVD in a BLU-Ray player, but not the other way around. But If you ever buy a DVD movie made in the UK, there is a lot of restrictions on it. If it will play at all. I have one of those here. Something about regions   :(  Frigging Britts.

We have a local store that can take DVD's, Cassettes, 8 Tracks, and transfer them to DVD's or zip drives.  Zip drives are smaller than DVD's and are probably going to be the future of stored movies, either that or a solid state hard drive. 

As far as sci-fi goes from the 1950's, there is also "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "War of the Worlds".  The old 1950's one, not the new ones.  The new ones try to push an agenda.  The Day the Earth Stood Still is black and white. 

Nothing wrong with "Ben Hur" or "The Robe" or movies like that from the 50's or 60's.  Then there are all of John Wayne's movies and Clint Eastwood's movies. 

There are also a lot of good movies from the 70's 80's and 90's, before all the agenda pushing crap that ruins a good movie. 

Good old sci-fi tv shows other than Star Trek series and the original 9 Star wars movies are Babylon 5, Stargate the Movie with Kurt Russel, Movie Origins, and Movie Stargate Katherine, Stargate SG-1 TV show, and Stargate Atlantis TV show, in that order because some reference the others.  Stargate Universe is dark and slow moving, and we quit watching it.  Other good TV shows are The Expanse and Firefly (only one season).  Another really good TV show is Terra Nova about humans in the polluted future travel back into pre-historic times to establish a colony called Terra Nova.  Lots of dinosaurs mixed with future stuff in that show, but again only one season. 

Anything that has been made after about 2010 pushes the gay agenda,

I saw "Settlers" touted as a great movie. It's found on Hulu and we watched it last night. I have to say it drags like a horse drawn middle buster with a constant electronic whine that varies in loudness for back ground "music".  I would give it 1/2 of a star rating.

The new ,the day the earth stood still DVD also came with a DVD copy of the old B&W one. Some of them do that so you don't have to. So did The new war of the worlds, but the old one was in color anyway and they put it in there also. I think i like the old one better.  2001 a space odyssey is a good one , the sequel (2010 the year we made contact) was well done.
Jupiter was converted into a star by the monoliths adding more mass to the planet. Making our solar system into a Binary system. One of Her moons ( Europa) was seeded with life with a warning for us not to go there.

Dixie-dude ,what would you call that kind of SYFI movie? Star Ship Queers lol. Starship Troopers had a multi sex shower scene. But it had nude women in it.
