Dude you deserve more subs:I loooved this video, as a passionate short stories Sci-fi reader hope to hear more about "vintage" SF or just vintage surreal cinema in general on your channel! Great editing as well!
Thank you! As you can see, I'm very passionate about Sci-Fi too and I'm open to recommendations, if you have a Goodreads account we could add each other, my handle is the same as the name of this channel. Thank you for watching!
I watched Forbidden Planet last week and was blown away by the storytelling craft. The professor truly not knowing who the monster was-what an incredible twist! Rarely does a movie pull off a big reveal like that, with the visual spectacle spent in the middle act. The plot turned completely on itself with no visual help. No new aliens, just expository dialogue and new insight into the characters, almost like a noir ending. Clever and very effective; I was thoroughly impressed. Reminded me of the sci-fi one-shot comics from Steve Ditko in the ‘50s, which always end with a cheesy twist. “The alien-investigator was the alien all along!” This was less cheesy, but in the same spirit of posing psycho-philosophical questions about humanity. Anyway, nice list, I’ll check out some of these others. Day the Earth and War o’ Worlds look interesting. My mom showed me Invasion of the Body Snatchers when I was 11 and it messed me up real bad, I had nightmares for weeks.
Forbidden Planet is a film that has definitely stood the test of time. I also love that the professor has very Shakespearean levels of cheese that somehow work perfectly with the tone of the film. Thanks for watching!

That black scorpion movie looks awesome!
It is indeed a lot of fun!
I've seen most of them, not the scorpion or spider ones. What's great about the early Godzilla franchise is the Akira Ifukube scores.
You’re right, the score of that film is awesome, what did you think of the list overall?
All these new CGI monsters got nothing on the classics
Definitely, these monsters beat watching polygon-made creatures fighting any day.
