Right, I'm trying to make a list of all the monster/bug/alien invasion b-movie type things from the 50's. Or anything similar. I need the title, and what the 'monster' is.

So far, I've got the following:

Ants
Them
Empire of the Ants

Spiders
Eight Legged Freaks

Alien Invasion
Earth Versus The Flying Saucers
The Earth Dies Screaming

Plants
The Day of the Triffids
From Hell it Came

Anything at all would be helpful. It's for a good cause, honest!

That one with the wasps or bees is kinda good. might be called wasps, but then again may be called bees. and more likely called something completely different. i don't know, stop asking all these questions.

You should check out the film/documentary 'It Came from Hollywood'.

Dan Ackroyd, John Candy & others present this compilation of all the best(worst) bits from hollywood monster B-movies of the 50's & 60's.

It's really very funny & interesting.
It lists every movie it features in the end credits, There's easily over 100.

There was one with bees in it as it stared Michael Caine. It was on Channel 4 not that long ago, but I can't find out what it is called on IMDB.

I'm after anything that has that 50's B-movie feel. So I guess that includes all the Japanese Godzilla's as well.

Thanks for all those suggested so far.

You want the names of all the godzilla films?

Well, probably too much to list here (there are 28 of them), but my little brother is a Godzilla nut so for info on Godzilla films, as well as other kaiju (giant mosnter movies), you could try these he's bookmarked:

The BBC web site had a small bit up about the films as they celebrated 50 years of Godzilla.

They listed all the Godzilla films on there. I'll see if I can find the link.



EDIT:

Here we are.

Godzilla gets a Hollywood walk of fame star

Every Godzilla film
Starscream`s Ghost
Can`t believe no one`s mentioned The Birds, yet.

There was also Lifeforce, a little gem of a film from the 1980s I think. All about vampiric, lifeforce-sucking aliens who turn most of the world into zombies.

One of my faves, that`s for sure.

i cannot believe noone has said..


attack of the 50ft woman

it has everything - a 30ft alien man attacked her for a diamond she was wearing to power his spaceship. then she started to grow...

classic stuff

The People that Time Forgot
Warlords of Atlantis
Badger

The Phantom
That film 'Swarm' about the bees used to scare the shit out of me.
