But then none of you asked me.....but I still think it is my nomination. Based on the poll numbers usually, there does need to be more people involved in this, so if you are interested I think you can just ask or just watch for the new polls and nomination lists when they are posted. Anyone can nominate and vote on movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. The 50's were one of the most important decades of the genre. From Destination Moon being the first attempt at adding realism to science fiction to Godzilla being a direct reflection of the atomic bomb to Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and a host of others being directly related to the Soviet Union and the decade taking place directly after the golden age of science fiction in literature, the 50's is not only one of the best decades for the genre, but possibly the most important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it is the decade and what this specific genre produced, there is a reason few if any have seen some of the movies you nominate because they are not worth watching for the general public. The 1960s was great as seen below and there are some awesome movies, just really none of them being Sci Fi outside of the two that have been nominated here so far. To Kill a Mockingbird Psycho Cool Hand Luke My Fair Lady Breakfast at Tiffany's The Producers Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb The Hustler The Graduate The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Bonnie and Clyde Rosemary's Baby Night of the Living Dead Cinderella West Side Story The Jungle Book Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Magnificent Seven The Manchurian Candidate The Sound of Music Spartacus And the 1950s was great with some absolutely historic films, but yeah nothing Sci Fi is even close honestly. It will do great in Drama and romance though. You seriously think one of the crap 1950s Sci Fi films is better than On the Waterfront? Yeah right. 1954 On the Waterfront 1951 A Streetcar Named Desire 1954 Sabrina 1957 Twelve Angry Men 1954 Seven Samurai 1958 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 1953 Roman Holiday 1955 Rebel Without a Cause 1953 Shane 1956 The Ten Commandments 1953 House of Wax 1957 Paths of Glory 1959 Some Like It Hot 1959 Ben Hur 1951 Ace in the Hole Just seeing obscure movies that few have see and saying they are great do not actually make them great.

Just like you saying they’re not great because you didn’t like it and don’t know anything doesn’t mean they’re not great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listing the 15 total movies you've bothered to getting around watching because they are on TCM doesnt make them all great or the best. You have an odd fixation on quality as being measured by anti-obscurity. Did you see my list includes Barbarella? I mean that's the literal opposite of obscure. Except maybe to you.
