It Came From Outer Space (1953)

When you hire Ray Bradbury you know you're getting a good science fiction story and that's what this is.  It still holds up for those who like retro '50s film making.  If you find that kind of thing "cheesy" and "dated" then you probably should skip it.  It's the story of a writer and his girlfriend witnessing the crash of a meteor only to learn when they investigate that it was an alien craft that fell from the sky.   Soon the visitors are stealing people and causing a havoc in town.  It's kind of funny how much of a big deal the "Alien" costume was back then, they actually burnt it after filming to keep it a surprise from the press.   Grade: B+
