I'm planning on watching a lot of science fiction films from the 1950's since that's probably the decade that science fiction started getting more serious treatment on screen compared to the monster fare of the previous decade. I've seen some of the classics and will be re-watching them, but I'd appreciate recommendations for more obscure titles that are worthwhile, too.
The ones that are already on my re-watch/watch list are the following:
(1950) Destination Moon -- Irving Pichel
(1951) The Day the Earth Stood Still -- Robert Wise
(1951) The Thing from Another World -- Christian Nyby
(1953) Project Moonbase -- Richard Talmadge
(1953) The War of the Worlds -- Byron Hoskins
(1953) Spaceways -- Terence Fisher
(1954) Them! -- Gordon Douglas
(1954) Gojira -- Honda Ishiro
(1954) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- Richard Fleischer
(1954) Riders to the Stars -- Richard Carlson
(1956) Godzilla -- Terry O. Morse & Honda Ishiro
(1956) Invasion of the Body Snatchers -- Don Siegel
(1956) Forbidden Planet -- Fred M. Wilcox
(1957) The Incredible Shrinking Man -- Jack Arnold
(1957) The Monster That Challenged the World -- Arnold Laven
(1958) It! The Terror from Beyond Space -- Edward Cahn
(1959) Journey to the Centre of the Earth -- Henry Levin
What have I missed? I'm also looking to watch good 'B' movies. Do you know of other non-Anglo SF films made in the 1950's? And are there any SF titles from earlier decades that you think are worthwhile?
