Terrific post.

The =movies that first lept to my mind when I thought of 50's films were The Day The Earth Stood Still (I haven't seen it in too long -- that will be fixed within the day), Plan 9, and Donovan's Brain, the latter didn't even make your cut.

Terrific list, though, I'm not the sci-fi fan it sounds like you are, but I've seen your top 10 (+ Plan 9) so I guess I haven't missed anything.

Plan 9 probably either deserves to be a lot higher (or a lot lower) as it's horrid ... but so much so it's a cliche which almost makes it the poster child for bad greatness.

Anyway... If you haven't seen Donovan's Brain, you might want to grab it if you see it in one of those $4.99 discount DVD bins.
