Unknown World (1951)
Cold War allegory as scientists travel to the center of the world to find a nuke-proof home.

Phantom From Space (1953)
Low-budget, overly-talky story of an alien lost in Los Angeles.

Crash of Moons (1954)
A movie mashed together from two episodes of the old Rocky Jones serial. Fun for the whole family!

Flash Gordon and the Planet of Death (1954)
An episode of the old 1950s serial, just a taste of what Flash Gordon was all about (that would be tight t-shirts and hair cream).

Killers From Space (1954)
Underrated sci-fi flim about bug-eyed aliens using cockroaches to take over the world.

Warning From Space (1956)
Above average story of aliens trying to help an endangered planet Earth to survive. One of the first color sci-fi movies from Japan.

Earth Defense Force (The Mysterians) (1957)
Outstanding Japanese sci-fi film, starring the cream of Toho Studio's talent pool and some nice special effects. Worth looking for the original Japanese version.

The Day the Sky Exploded (1958)
Nasty little b-movie cobbled together with stock footage clips and underlit sets.

She Demons (1958)
Nazis and island babes mix in this fun adventure flick. Did I mention the island girls?

Battle in Outer Space (1959)
Excellent followup to Earth Defense Force, full of sparky special effects and Power Rangers with rayguns.

Teenagers From Outer Space (1959)
Ultra cheap drive-in classic about an alien boy lost on planet Earth who finds love. And lobsters.

The Wasp Woman (1959)
Roger Corman thriller about an old woman doing unspeakable things to become young again. And bugs.

Teenage Zombies (1959)
Rich SoCal teens foil an evil Rooskie plot to turn us all into zombie slaves!

Atom Age Vampire (1960)
Fairly good yarn about an obsessed scientist who will do anything to keep his lover beautiful, even kill people and mess up his hair.

The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)
Cheaply made but engaging story of an invisible con-artist and the woman who loves him.

Assignment: Outer Space (1960)
Dramatic story of a newspaperman on a ride-along assignment to a distant space station.

The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)
Epically bad movie about a Russian scientist turned into a killer beast. Woof.

The Phantom Planet (1961)
Square-jawed Earth astronaut frolicks with busty alien babes (who are six inches tall!).

The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)
Due to the planet wiggling out of its orbit due to nuclear tests gone awry. Excellent quality movie, really.

Atragon (1963)
Classic Japanese movie about a flying submarine and a giant worm with whiskers fighting over supremacy of the world.

Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965)
Above average space exploration yarn from the glorious peoples' studios in Mother Russia.

Journey to the Center of Time (1967)
Failed TV show pilot about scientists lost in time and space.

They Came From Beyond Space (1967)
They (the aliens) came from beyond space (to eat our babies and steal our precious jewels).

The War in Space (1977)
Muddled confusing space opera from Japan. Sadly sans screen caps :(

Cosmos: War of the Planets (1977)
Mythically bad, horribly bad, just unspeakably bad Italian sci-fi movie. What was I thinking?

War of the Robots (1978)
Third of three interconnected Italian space epics, this one hideously bad, even worse than the others.

Eyes Behind the Stars (1978)
X-Files-esque Italian UFO movie with some way-too-serious actors struggling with a weak script.

Star Odyssey (1979)
Another Italian movie about spacefaring numbskulls, sure to entertain as well as incapacitate the weak and elderly.

The Day Time Ended (1979)
Lame ensemble piece about a time-traveling family with bad hair.

Raiders of Atlantis (1983)
Wow, what a movie! Atlantis, helicopters, tricked-out cars, sunken submarines, big hair, big teeth, just awesome stuff.

Creature (1985)
Cheap Alien rip-off, but it has some nice sci-fi cool moments and even a nekkid chick.

Endless Descent (1989)
Rip-off of The Abyss. And Aliens. And nearly every movie made in the '80s. Still not too bad.

Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe (1991)
Jesse Ventura comes to Earth to save the universe from the dreaded Anti-Life Equation (oh my!) and finds love along the way.

Alien Species (1996)
Campy cable movie about an alien invasion and the pretty people who defeat it. Lots of hairspray in this one.

Laserhawk (1997)
Luke Skywalker slides into b-movie hell, and he seems to be enjoying it. Love that emo girl, though.

Waiting for the Giants (2000)
Independent film that preaches about mutant rights while showcasing a nice Jeep Wrangler.

Neophytes and Neon Lights (2001)
Weirdass Australian film about a future where petty theives are the heroes and all suitcases are mysterious.

Final Days of Planet Earth (2005)
Miniseries about alien bugs taking over the world, one civil service job at a time.

The Black Hole (2006)
Judd Nelson fights the laws of physics to keep a black hole from eating the planet. Alien killer, too!
