I grew up with all of these films. My favorite was (and remains) "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms." "The War of the Worlds" (1953) and "It Came from Outer Space," left me astounded! "THEM!" was stellar! Thanks, Retro Vault!
These movies had a quality that modern movies just don't. Modern movies seem to be all about visual effects and not a story. Also, don't forget "IT! The Terror From Beyond Space." That movie sort of got remade in 1979 as "Alien."
"It" has a much better script by the great Jerome Bixby than it's ripoff Alien, and mostly better acting. If the monster had been as well-created as the Creature From The Black Lagoon" it would have been hailed as a classic. Easily watchable. Pretty good flick.
Most of these films were originally released in Black and White. So, the clips you show must be from the colorized versions. Not a problem I just wanted to let others know.
I enjoyed every second of this video good clips and excellent commentary. Well done..

I just watched " Them !" again today !! 😍
And " House of Wax " has always been a favorite of mine !
I grew up on these awesome movies !
I saw so many of these when I was a mere 6, 7, 8, etc., years old. Now parents object to the offscreen shooting of Bambi's mother.
You had to list Mesa of Lost woman. Them was great to see in the theatre when you were a kid. Unforgettable. Thanks well done.
Growing up, these movies were my Saturday afternoons without fail. And I grew up OK, right?
I loved THEM!
Not all 50's Sci-Fi movies are B movies. The Day The Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds and When Worlds Collide were big budget movies. 😎👍
Isn't Rocketship X-M the exact opposite? It was a moonshot gone wrong with them landing on Mars.
Absolutely correct
"Them!" was remade as "Aliens."
Can't trust them aliens.😁
Good list, but sorry "War of the Worlds" is not a B-Movie. It was big-budget for its time, and even won an academy award for special effects I believe

@@BruceCarroll - i got MORE on my RUclips Page...
Half of these weren’t B movies
Cheap low budget movies ? Yeah they are 😂
@@peggyfillmore1971 War of the Worlds? A B-movie?
On Robot Monsters the Archaeologists are trying to chip cave art off the wall instead of taking pictures of it. Dugh?

That colonization of classic B & W films is horrid. Recomend watching in their original format, where possible.
You can adjust your TV set to show color films in B & W.
The crews of the ships made no sense a long trip 10 men and only 1women you could see nothing but trouble ahead
Great list, but please stop using the colorized clips
I get it, it really depends on where I can get access to the movie digitally. Sometimes the B&w version isn’t that easy for me to find.
@ that’s understandable.
