Any likewise creative old SF-Movies ???


Hi everyone,

I checked movies from early 1900's (from Metropolis till now) but there are so much good movies that you cannot see everything.

I'm asking to the movie-freaks out there, are there any other recommended old cult sci-fiction movies with a strong story like this one ?

Thanks,

I know this was first posted 11 years ago but I'll throw my hat in the ring for This Island Earth which also has a very moving ending and has a very well constructed plot. Some late scenes in the film were directed by an uncredited Jack Arnold, too. Another film I recommend is Roger Corman's X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes starring Ray Milland and totally worth it for his performance alone but it also tackles themes such as the nature and meaning of existence and is one of Corman's better efforts as a director.

I like two other Jack Arnold 1950s SF movies:-

Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)
Monster On The Campus (1958)
