I am 70 and saw many of these in theaters in the mid-late 50's. Thanks for making this video.
This has always been one of my favorites. Still watch it today, along with the originals of War of the Worlds, This Island Earth, Forbidden Planet and The Day The Earth Stood Still. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.
I saw this when it was first released and then had to ride a bicycle three miles on a lonely Oregon country road to my home. There was NO moon, but relied on my young night vision. Many decades later still recall this memorable SCI/FY movie.
I first saw this on television when I was a boy, but two decades later, got to see this film in its 3D format at a convention on Long Island. A very enjoyable film.
Keep these videos coming, Jonathan! You’re doing a great job!
I love that this movie portrayed the aliens as just wanting to repair their ship and get home.
I saw this in 1955. Scared the **** out of me. Really enjoyed the background of it.
your channel is filled with great stuff. Much enjoyed.
I missed this one. If its your favourite from a decade that includes This Island Earth, When World's Collide, and Forbidden Planet, I'd best give it a look!
Great video, great film. Some 3D facts: some shots really change in 3D, eg. the telescope at 1:55 swings out over the audience, the rock fall (that covers the model spaceship at 2:12) is actually partly full sized and pretty scary in 3D, and at 3:09 the alien exudes a vapour that disturbingly wafts beyond the screen at you. Interestingly, the forced perspective stage set at 4:04 still works perfectly in 3D.
As well as the new UI 3D process they presented in this movie, it also had a new ‘3D’ sound using 3 special speakers placed around the theatre, you can still get a feel of it if you own a 5.1 or higher sound system and buy the blu ray, there are moments of silent darkness where you can only hear a tingling breathing right next to you, and it’s _very_ creepy!
In early eighties when I was still a kid, there was a repeat of a Space 1999 double episode called Bringers of Wonder. I'm convinced that Gerry Anderson's design for the Aliens in that story were influenced by the ones in this famous movie. Another fine video Jonny.

We saw the movie for the first time September 18, 2023 I was quite impressed. The story was very good. It seem to be ahead of its time.
I remember watching this as a kid back in day when they would show whole seasons of these wonderful old sci fi movies
As a child of the 70s this was in regular rotation on our local Creature Feature TV show.
Always one of may favorites. It has a weird and dark tone to it. A kind of Sci-fi film noir.
Thank you for such an accurate evaluation of this movie's message : Against mindless xenophobia.
I saw this movie in its excellently dubbed French version, at a rerun theater in 1964.
The copy was still very good, and I love absolutely the black and white photography.
The friend who watched it with me had his share of Hammer Dracula movies, and found the scene with
the false Helen at dusk even scarier than the Hammer vampire beauties !
I was at the time a little disappointed that the aliens were not nasty although hideous in appearance.
But over the years, with age and a surfeit of costly & senseless special-effects-overfed blockbusters,
I kept looking desperately for this movie to recapture the charm of a time when a good story makes the film.
I was so nostalgic that I bought the dvd of the remake uniquely to watch the title !
I love too "The Day The World Ended"(1955), ''The Quatermass X-periment"(1955)
and especially "Quatermass 2 - Enemy From Space"(1957) with Brian Donlevy as my all time favorite actor !
But that was before I got to see at last "Invasion Of The Body-Snatchers"(1956) on TV in 2005 !
I find its advocated vigilance the perfect complement to the tolerance of "It Came From Outer Space",
as an exhortation to reasonable vigilance without being paranoiac.
No remake has ever done justice to the original, which with ICFOS, remains one of my 2 best favorite scifi movies of all time.
How JonnyBaak manages.....to break.....up sentence into.....several unrelated....phrases....never ceases....to amaze....me.
Love this film first saw it on tv back in 1979 as a kid then many years latter re discovered it on DVD.
Thanks Johnathan
Barbara Rush was gorgeous in this film.
A good movie & excellent story. One of the best from the atomic age of sci-fi / horror. I consider both the 50s & 80s as the golden age of that genre. Thank you.
I remember once when you could look at some of these old movies for free. Now you have to pay for the Air that you breathe on UA-cam, thank you UA-cam a great improvement for you.
@jackcrow955 They’re tightening the noose on different things too.
One of my favorites.
Russel Johnson actually did quite a bit of Sci/Fi early in his career! There is actually a scene referring to it in the Making Of Gilligan's island TV Movie!
This is kinda creepy but I checked through your list of videos and discovered that you and I have the same taste in enjoyable programs love your videos Jonny! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you! 😁
Thanks so much 😊
The only thing I don't like about It Came From Outer Space is that I always confuse it with It! The Terror From Beyond Space, my favourite.
Always entertaining and informative. Love this channel👍👍👌👌👌🤘
@JonnyBaak. Interesting video full of facts and trivia which I love. One point: at 0.25 you describe “It Came from Outer Space” as “ more unique”. Nothing can be more unique; something is either unique or it’s not unique. Being unique is like being dead; nothing is more dead than something, it’s dead or it’s not. Other than that, good video.
You are correct. As an English major I find this particular locution grating.
Fantastic video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
On Svengoolie tonight!
Jonny you are missed very much.
Weird sounds are what I remember from this - haven't seen it since the 70s.
Awesome 👌🆒️🙌
I was watching the Creature from the Black lagoon the other Day In High Def, and Saw a Blooper that No One else that I have seen has reported it..........Waiting to see if anyone else Does.
It is the best I remember watching it as a kid!!! I had no idea that Ray Bradbury was in on it until just recently I used to watch Ray Bradbury theater too too bad they ripped Ray Bradbury off!
I Have 3 Editions On DVDs 📀, I Do Have This Movie 🍿 On DVD 📀 In 3D With 3D Glasses,I Really Enjoy This Movie 🍿 Very Much
Something about the alien suit reminds me vaguely of Kosh from Babylon 5.
My favorite 1950s Sci-Fi movie because of the John Putnam character.
Love this film.
This movie is basically a story of outsiders who's car broke down.
Then the problems to get it fixed.
The REAL problem is.....FORD has a manufacturing plant on the aliens home planet, Romulus;...their flying space machine was Formed On Romulus and soon found Dead!

There was no reason why they would make It came from outer space 2 and of course it's not gonna work because the original is a classic.
Space 1999 had a two-part episode that literally stolle this movie in a way the aliens were shapeshifters and look very similar to the monster here I think the episode was called the bringers of wonder
Ironic they rejected what would be the "This Island Earth" alien design, as it would be the more recognizably iconic of the Alien designs of this period.
From our lengthy suite of the classic score from IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE. Found on our "Monstrous Movie Music" CD... ua-cam.com/video/XLk2D8TVisE/v-deo.html
Love B movies
The alien eye effect was NOT created by blowing a bubble around the lens. It was created by superimposing an image of a bowl filled with oil.
Really? How did you find this out? I've seen both theories. Source?
@@greenandwhite101 Source: Tom Weaver, who did the audio commentary. You can even see he circular line at the bottom of the bowl.

You declared in your video here that this is your favorite 1950s science fiction film, and yet all you kept on basically saying is that you really like the idea that the aliens didn't want to hurt man. Is that it?
Don't you think Forbidden Planet was a little better? I'll watch this one again and see if my opinion changes.
Sorry. Forbidden Planet is my favorite 50's movie. But It Came From Outer Space is interesting.
It isn't a b movie it was released as a A movie
It had ray banbary behind it
Look
