Year: 1956
Director: Fred Sears
Plot: Anyone who's seen the 1996 science-fiction lampoon Mars Attacks may have trouble watching Earth vs. the Flying Saucers with a straight face. Hugh Marlowe plays scientist Russell Marvin, who is on-hand when an alien spacecraft lands on earth. The saucermen at first insist that they've come in peace, but Marvin suspects otherwise. Sure enough, the visitors eventually declare their intention to take over the earth within the next 60 days, adding that the military's weapons are useless against them. The two-month window gives Marvin and his cohorts plenty of time to build-up superweapon, and thus stave off the seven-saucer invasion force. Special effects maestro Ray Harryhausen does a nice job laying waste to Washington DC in the film's memorable finale. The supporting cast of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers includes those two sci-fi flick stalwarts of the 1950s, Morris Ankrum and Thomas Browne Henry. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I recently rewatched The Valley of Gwangi and I was stunned (again) by what a good movie this is! When is the last time you have seen a T-Rex being burned alive inside a church? This got me thinking about how much I LOVE the stop-motion animation effects of the great Ray Harryhausen... He began his historic career working on the amazing film Mighty Joe Young working under the tutelege of his mentor Willis O'Brien who was the effects genius behind the original King Kong . Harryhausen went on to perfect his own method of stop-motion animation that used both rear projection and front projection to import his creations onto any background... He called this technique "Dynamation" . Besides the films mentioned above, here are some GREAT monster movies where you can check out the craft of this master in action... The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms It Came From Beneath The Sea Earth vs. the Flying Saucers 20 Million Miles to Earth The 7th Voyage of Sinbad Mysterious Island Jason and the Argonauts First Men in the Moon One Million Years B.C. The Golden Voyage of Sinbad Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger Clash of the Titans ... Monsters Rule!
