Where To Watch
Are these sci-fi movies from the 1950s or the 1980s?
Both decades were great eras for science fiction and horror.
A quick glance through the movies of both the 1950s and the 1980s shows some immediate connections. There were nostalgic films from the eighties like Stand By Me and Back to the Future which harkened back to a time thirty years earlier. There were also direct remakes like The Blob and Invaders from Mars.
Here are the titles of 20 movies from both decades. Some are true science fiction while others are horror movies with a science fiction element. Can you properly label which ones are from the 1950s and which came out 30 years later?

9 out of 20 Scifi is just not my genre!
Just remember what George Francisco said in the movie "Alien Nation": "We're only human". LOL!
The King of sci fi not even listed the Thing from another world 1950's version with your favorite Marshall Matt Dillion as the Thing
Didn't include " Invaders from Mars" or "It came from Outer Space" either. The 50's were a great time to be a sci-fi fan
13/20 - Crazy! LOL
17/20 very cool buckaroo banzai is one of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time. A true cult classic
14/20?? I'm disappointed in myself.
You're still amazing in my book, UnicornPrincess.

19/20. Missed #12.
18/20! Missed 12 & 18! The second one confused me because there was a shrinking man in the '50's and a shrinking woman in the '80's!
Lily Tomlin was the shrinking women and it was a comedy.
13/20. Most were guesses
18/20
20/20 And I have seen every one of them
Would loved to see "War of the Worlds" in 3-D. How cool would that be watching the war machines coming at the camera firing their heat rays?
