I've never seen The Bob. What's it about?

 

[Benchrest1]

I think he meant The Blob.

Queen of Outer Space. Zsa Zsa Gabor in the lead.

Y'all list some good ones. However, it seems everyone misses the best one-"The Thing from another World"with James Arness as the thing.Other good ones - Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Second vote for “The Thing-From Another World”. A really good movie. And “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. Two of the best.

The original 13 ghosts ........ Scared the do-do out of me and the re-make was even worse!

Can never get enough of "The Crawling Eye," AKA "The Trollenberg Terror" in Britain. It was featured on that Mystery Science Theater 3000 (correct title?). Laughed uncontrollably when the robot said: "You shake the snow globe and the heads come off." Forrest Tucker, star of "Eye" later did a giant insect flick in which the French scientist advised a woman to boil an insect egg she found to kill the embryo. The egg was over a foot in diameter...

"The H-Man," Japanese flick I saw in 1959. Couldn't sleep to save my life. "Kronos," about a giant robot from outer space (where else?) that emanated destructive rays (what else?). Horrible flick. Remember Lee Van Cleef's cameo in "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" ? Add many of the movies other posters have cited.

I don't know why, but this jumped straight into my head...
Must have made a "Big" impression.

The original "Thing From Another World," and "Day The Earth Stood Still." You can keep the remakes with all their special effects.

The Day The Earth Stood Still...... Let's hear it for Klaatu...

Gort was the bad@@@ in that flick. "Klaatu barada nikto", a phrase that saved the planet. Joe

The first horror movie I saw was "The Thing". I rode my bike to the movie house for the last show. When I got there it was still daylight. When I came out it was dark. I was so scared I must have rode my bike so fast I was just a blub.
