[brucedavis76]

[only257]

scifi classic

[GODEYE270115]

Holy shit there was 3D back then?!!!!!!!

[Mality]

Lucky enough to see this in 3D in a theater a few years back...it worked really well, a lot better than the crap they got now!!!

[Beamshipcaptain]

THey used one red lens and one green lens in the 3D glasses back in the day.

[tobar1p]

@Beamshipcaptain Actually the first uses of 3D in films used polarized lenses like today. It wasn't until the mid to late fifties that they starting using the stereotypical red/blue lenses.

[HarlequinTheatreGirl]

"... with objects coming right out of the screen so real they almost touch you!" couldn't resist laughing a little bit. I can never keep myself from laughing at ironic things, but in this case mostly because I automatically compare the modern technology based on "It came from outer space" and other similar "3D-films" from the classic 50's. It's such a big difference! and yet it's only been about 60 years since then.

[Trakenite2]

I'm looking at this film as 1 of my 3 focus films on "The Development Of 3D - Fad Or Future?" & has, rapidly, become one of my favourite Black & white films

[mtanyc]

everyone is white!!!

[Mality]

Actually saw this in 3D...the opening scene with the ship coming right at you was fantastic, even today!

[flapdoodle64]

Better than "V", that's for sure.

[Edam3000]

This actually scared me as a kid.

[pathdaly]

@Edam3000

No bullshit! Des[ite the positive "aliens arent all bad" message it was still pant-wetting stuff for a kid!

[guenwyvar99]

@Edam3000 @ pathdaly

I saw this as a very little kid & the eerie tremulous wailing of the theremin at :30 creeped me out something awful. Chills up the spine & the hair on my arms stood up. I put my hands over my eyes & looked thru my fingers. I'm a music teacher now & am gonna creep my students out next week with theremin music from "The Day the Earth Stood Still".Bernard Herrman wrote the score for both of these movies.

[Edam3000]

Lol @ 0:28 :D

[jjeby369]

OOhhh one of my favorite films !

[Shawnster65]

The music in the opening of the trailer was later remastered and re-orchestrated by Dick Jacobs in 1958, and used for the opening of WNEW 5's Creature Features in the late 60's early 70's. WNEW 5 New York.

Some of you may remember that Creature Features hosted by "The Creep" Lou Steele.

[Beamshipcaptain]

I LOVED CREATURE FEATURES on WNEW-TV NY since the late 1960s! Also Chiller Theatre on Channel 11, Fright night on Channel 9, the 4:30 movie on Channel 7,and CBS-TV channel 2 used to show all the 50s SF classics on late-night.

[reluctantprophet7]

didn't realize it was done in 3D.... so were the glasses for it like grey... and uh.... let's see.... darker grey??? :)  Gotta love the old movies

[tobar1p]

Actually they were. They used polarized lenses just like we use today in modern 3D films.

[etiscool1]

@reluctantprophet7 I think they had the red and green ones back then.

[elevadon]

What was the movie with the UFO firing a laser at a spitfire, and it falls apart?

I rlly wanna know it caus that scene was awesome^^

[Beamshipcaptain]

EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS, F/X by living-legend, Ray Harryhausen. Get the DVD. Been enjoying it on TV since 1971.

[elevadon]

Thx!

Ray harryhausen is AWESOME!

[moviedudeinc]

please make this trailer IN 3D! Its so sad that this movie is not IN 3-DIMENSION on dvd ;-( . I liked the film in both ways but its 10 times better IN 3D!!!

[Beamshipcaptain]

I love the really fun movies like this from over a half-century ago. The beginning of the Atomic-Age, post WW II.

[Shawnster65]

Yeah, sadly there's nothing funny about the nuke situation NOW.

Almost everyone has a nuke. And God only knows who wants to use them..Great movies though.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Nukes have ot been used in warfare for 64-years, let us hope that they are never used, and that warfare among the brothers of our Earth shall be made obsolete, and we can concentrate on our little ET-foes, the EVIL greys from Zeta one and two Reticuli (there are GOOD greys, many species).

[Shawnster65]

Yeah, not to mention what will happen if the Zeta greys decide to upgrade the Iranian or N. Korean technology. I hope the Reticuli will be on our side...

[Beamshipcaptain]

Mny factions and species of greys, just as ther are many factions and species of people who basically look like we do in street clothes, traveling the universe(s), keeping the peace, still advancing and making new discoveries all the time, as we are doing today. Our hi-technology civilisation on THIS ISLAND EARTH is only 51-years old. We have to learn to live on the same Earth with those who are not in control of their faculties, or their emotions.

[Dark1Louie]

wow i cant wait til it comes out lol

[UrsTruely666]

lmao! aw, it was a classic movie though. one of the first 3-d mov.

[giantmont]

was this like one of the first 3-d movies ever made?

[Argony612]

I believe that Creature from the Black Lagoon was the first, or one of the first.

[EdwardStratton]

One of the best SF films of that era.

[michaeljayklein]

As I watch this trailer I am sitting in the very room that Richard Carlson (the star of the movie) taught drama at the University of Minnesota before becoming an actor. Now is that weird or what? I love this picture!

[tobar1p]

Woah, cool.

[GGE47]

Richard Carlson also starred in The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

[SpeedSword]

This movie is a total classic :]. Love It.

[synaps555]

haha :)

i like those stuff :P

[prayfertrey]

There are a lot of things wrong with this movie, but there's just *something* about it that makes it enchanting. I think it's the way it highlights the primitive, suspicious, paranoid nature of most, not all, but most of humanity. And it would be neat to make a living writing astron. articles and living in the desert with a cute young school teacher.

[GloomicalG]

I remember I saw this on Turner Classic Movies during Halloween. This is one of the movies that made me want to go into the movie industry. Love it.

[tobar1p]

Did you?

[GloomicalG]

Yup.

[tobar1p]

Cool, what do you do?

[moondoggy63]

a classic movie now----many directors watched this lately, to pick up bits.
