Dodgy black and white science fiction films

[Crystal A]

I've seen a few of these and would like to see more. I get a kick out of the so-bad-its-good type of movie in this genre. Can anyone drop a few names? Nothing that's too rare or hard-to-find though, as I would actually like to seek the titles out and watch them if possible.

Thanks.

There was another thread on this just recently -

Post #23 has links to clips of some b&w bad movies.

Anything by Ed Wood is worth a look -

Night of the Ghouls
Glen or Glenda
Bride of the Atom
Plan Nine from Outer Space

I really enjoyed the 1957 sci-fi B horror 'The Amazing Colossal Man'. This was a great film, but the sequel 'War of the Colossal Beast' was dire

Sorry about that! I'm still getting used to the forums. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

No apology needed! The other thread was on dodgy films in general, not old b&w ones, but it does mention a few that might fit your requirements, hence the link.

It'll no dount help me find some "hidden gems" I otherwise might not have!

'Them' probably counts as a good film in its day (well before my time)....but it's a bit laughable now.

Have you seen The Incredible Shrinking Man [1957]? It's a black and white B-Movie, but it also happens to be one of the finest Sci-Fi films ever made.

It is! I was quite shocked when I saw it recently!

If you want a really bad ant film (not b&w though) you need to see Empire of the Ants!

Ray Harryhausen's 50's sci-fi films are worth a look.

I think some of them have even been colourised on DVD.

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956).

 

[.!.!.!.!.!.!]

Devil Girl From Mars (1954) is worth a watch!
