This is a classic movie, love it.
Such a classic film…some of it was goofy, of course, but the Harryhausen spaceships scared the bejesus out of me as a youngster. I was 3 years old when this was released but by age 7, I was watching this on TV every time it was on. This movie along with The Day the Earth Stood Still will always be my fave classics.????
19:50 that sounds like friking StarWars Laserbeams ???? I think i know where Lucas had the idea from hehe
Carol lost her beloved dad and he was dumped out of the saucer at 0:59:00 Nine minutes later shes canoodling her man without a care in the world. Go figure.
The Best ! and in color!
"We are your friends Dr. Marvin", lol,
strange that is the same as the police
and the gov´nment says to us all.
"Shaken" ? Lol, one would be sh₶less if a saucer like that hovered so close over ones car !
Wow. Never saw this one.
Super quality colorization.
GREAT! Thanks. ????
Including an endangered species of bird that is not immediately identified
Good show! And I love looking at old cars too!
Thank you for posting these!
This is really good for colourisation.
This movie was great … so cheesy, like Swiss cheese with all the plot holes. Color print was great, special effects not bad especially when the saucers were attacking
Just the Best!!!!
What a Great Film!
Those were the best flying saucers I’ve seen. Ray Harryhausen was the best.
Great color of good scifi
I wonder if Dr. Marvin ever got to 1st base with his new wife?
