I saw this at our local picture theater when I was 14, I’m 72 now, fantastic special affects for that era. Seen many sci-fi over the decades.. but this still remains one of my favorites.

This and "The Day The Earth Stood Still," will always be 2 of my all time favorites!

Another Ray Harryhausen movie is ALWAYS worth watching.

THE MORE I SEE THIS SCI-FI MOVIE, THE MORE I LOVE IT. A TRUE WINNER , CLASSIC.

These are the movies that my cousin and I grew up on! These movies and The Twilight Zone, One Sep Beyond, and all the other Sci-Fi movies of the era. Thanks for reminding us of our childhood, awesome!

My absolute favourite movie all through my childhood years. Ray Harryhausen managed to give the saucers a personality.

One of the better sci-fi flying saucer movies made. Another Ray Harryhausen masterpiece with a good script and ending. Thanks for the post. Joe S

Paul Frees should get a special Oscar just for all his voice work.

There was a sequel planned, but it never got going. It was about an alien chef who comes to Earth, and opens a restaurant. It is so successful, the other local restaurant owners attack him. Alas, Earth vs the Frying Saucer was never made.

Earth versus the flying saucers. Is a classic movie. I'm a 80's born person. I have always enjoyed movies like this. They are good. No one makes them like this anymore. This is good in color as well, in black and white. Hollywood's glory days. Even throw the movie studios acted like. They owned their actors and actresses.

Got to love ol' Mother Earth. One minute we are met with storms and floods, the next it's a calm summers day. All communication is at a standstill, the next the army have their phonelines up and running.....Wish BT were that quick....

I'm 49 and this film is really good. The combo of retro but capable film effects and cool story really works.

"You're starting something you're not going to be able to finish." 3:40 In Hugh Marlow's case, no truer words have ever been said 😂 😂 😂

The coloration in this film is excellent. Just the right amount of saturation. however. B+W has unappreciated virtues. At the time of this movie, B+W was the standard. Color was reserved for hi-budget films. Today it is a style like impressionism. It encouraged suspension of disbelief and it haunts dreams and memories like a charcoal sketch. Color is great for special effects but they are so over-used that it has become, ho-hum and secondary to the story.. That being said, B+W has its place and it is best represented some of these old movies

The great works of Ray Harryhausen

An Absolutely excellent film with good acting great special effects by Ray Harryhousen. Made in the 50s and better than most of the overblown modern SiFi Films that have crap CGI effects. The 50s were the best of all for some Classic SiFi movies.

A classic!! Thanks so much for posting such a good print.

31:33 she loves her dad so much but oh I got married but you weren't invited 😊

LOVE THIS SCI -FI MOVIE. ACTING IS EXCELLENT. DEFINITELY, THEY DON'T MAKE MOVIES THIS GREAT ANYMORE. HAS A SPECIAL FEELING ABOUT IT. TO THE PERSON(S) WHO UPLOADED THIS I WANT TO SAY GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Brilliant! I must have seen this when i was a kid back in the seventies. I saw all the rest. But i don't recall, so it was fun to see it as new.

One of my favorites growing up. I remember it being shown in the 60's when I was young, always watched it when it was on TV. They did a great job with the animation for that time!

A. Very. Good. Classic. Alien. 👽🤖 movie 👽🤖👍

I love how they use differential analyzer, which is an analog computer designed to solve differential equations by integration, as a means of translating the alien language..... I love these 1950s Science fiction films!

For decades I've wanted to communicate with aliens and to find out all I ever needed was a piece of toilet paper.

Before I die I would like to see first contact with an alien race.

I first saw this movie on its first release in April 1956, on a double feature bill with the first true life documentary about UFOs, titled "U.F.O." (UA, 1956). They boggled my mind and gave this boy nightmares of an alien invasion at age 8-1/2. Ray Harryhausen's saucers are incredibly animated, and the visual and audio effects are spectacular. Paul Frees contributed great voiceover work. Morris Ankrum is well cast as General John Hanley. Hugh Marlowe in his cigarette-edged voice is great star material, after his role as Tom, the Judas character in DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (Fox, 1951). Joan Taylor is good as his devoted wife assistant as well as her other co-starring role in Ray Harryhausen's 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH (Columbia, 1957).

This on the year I was born, those monsters didn’t appreciate architecture, odd how they didn’t destroy the White House, the humans appeared a little weak and ineffective to have made any impression, I except that all 36 actors this were now dead, and this film was a tribute to them.

Joan Taylor was a beautiful woman. Her style of dressing was perfect. I could look at these sc-fi classics all day long. Excellent movie. Just like in The Day the Earth Stood Still they start shooting almost immediately

Thanks a million for putting this out there. Great animation from Harryhousen. And it's always a pleasure to see DC destroyed. 😂

Thank you very much. One of my favourites is The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and I have many others in my collection that are fantastic as well. War of the Worlds (1953) was also very good. As was "2001 A Space Odyssey". There are almost too many good movies to "count" in the genre. I saw all of them in a theatre on the "big screen" and that made them very special. What I find interesting is that the common thread in (most of) these movies is almost identical. Thanks so much for this link. As another person commented (or something to the effect) "I do not do re-colourized movies", I actually enjoy both. It gives one a different perspective. I am not interested in endless CGI nonsense anymore. Humans are being displaced just as many of these movies state when you really listen to the dialogue. I watched "Star Wars" the day it premiered in 1977 and it was a good yarn. Lucas drew upon many "sources" for the "Force" and so on and so forth. No disrespect to CGI artists at all. CGI is both an art as well as a science. I find the "classics" including Metropolis (1927) spellbinding. We are always able to learn and movies, music, and many of our experiences and likes and/or dislikes are subjective. My advice is to enjoy everything that you are able to do in this life whilst we are able to do so. Again, thanks very much. Have fun folks. Carpe Diem. And further, seize the micron as well.

Love these old movies, ty for sharing them

I remember, as a kid, being truly scared when the saucers appeared in the sky. Great special effects for the time. Did Mystery Science Theater 3000 ever do this one? That would have been almost as great as the actual movie.

This is the time I would like to go back to. The 50’s

I loved the beautiful cars and trucks!

This was a GREATE Movie! It is my first time watching it. It is good to see a movie where there was no mention of a computer as far as I can detect!

Love how that B-29 Superfortress turns into a B-17 Flying Fortress as it explodes and tumbles outta da sky!

Thank you.

It is amazing how many of the "stars" in this movie were regulars on the Perry Mason show. This isn't even close to "Forbidden Planet" for story or special effects but I am having fun watching it.

Barbara Rush in those little white gloves.

If this was a modern movie, around 7 minutes into the movie,you would have heard a thousand ummmms, but Uhhhhh. I thought we humans are supposed to be more intelligent now and advanced. Classic movies never disappoint. Thank you for the upload.

Great Movie!

Absolutely terrific movie. You can certainly where Independence Day got all its ideas!

1st time I saw this was at dad's Base Theater in 1959, at age 6. Now I'm 71 and still watch it at least twice a year. Yeah the Military usually waited a while for film Rents to go down. 👍👍 10👑 1:08:55 Are actually 2 P-51's that collided during a training exercise being filmed. 🤠

Saw this movie 😊

Thank you very much

One of the best looking flying saucers next to the C-57D!

My favorite growing up wow

Beautiful movie

The alien outfits were comprised of "frozen electricity." They must have been pretty darned light to wear, given that electrons have no mass.

Pretty good special effects for 1956.

This is among the finest early ‘Flying Saucer’ films ever conceived. In the DVD set of the production, I found the audio commentary disheartening due to criticisms of Hugh Marlowe who also appeared in The Day The Earth Stood Still.

I always light up after a UFO sighting. I'm almost out of lighter fluid.

MAN. THE 50,S WERE SCI-FI CRAZY... BC THAT'S WHAT MAKE 💵. SCI-FI. IS AMAZING. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...

7:35 "Where a calculator like ENIAC today is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh only 1½ tons."

great movie

I've seen it in Black and White, always wondered how it would be in Color, I Enjoyed It!

Good show guys, keep her lit and no surrender.

AT 6:37 ZIPPO LIGHTER APPEARS . COOOOOOL😊😊

Thanks.

Can't beat Ray Harryhausen for FX and the voice of Paul Frees as the alien voice. Paul did Disney's Haunted Mansion narration as well. It's available on KZfaq.

Really nice SciFi enjoy watching !!!

I'm only here for the cars. 🤫

They should have made a pt 2 for this movie. The plot. Since all the saucers were incapacitated our scientist could have learned their inner workings. Use the saucers to fly back to their planet if it still exist or since the era is the cold war use the power of the saucers to mandate world peace. Hollywood give me a call.

Bring Back BENCH SEATS 🎉

In 1956 satellites were science fiction. In 1957, sputnik 1 was on the front page of newspapers. The future is rushing at us at break neck speed. Today's date is 11 July 2024. Who knows what fanciful idea will take shape in 2025?

I remember this originally in b/w .. and the 55 Mercury Monterey.

3:40 "your starting somthing you're not going to be able to finish". "Yeah, today I got a hot date with a three stage rocket".

I love the opening scene, all these clerks typing like mad. As if there hundreds of reports every hour. Bahahahahaaa

The Days of Coffee, Sugar, Dairy, Tobacco, Liquor, Red Meat and Guns..LoL

Hugh Marlowe , King of the " B " sci-fi flicks ....

It is Harryhausen's saucers crashing that made this a classic.

I like the extreme sun activity causing weather havoc on earth...just like we have been told these days. AI retro-future-past engineering of human perception today. yepper-pepper

I always loved these sci-fi movies as a kid, they got me interested in science and space travel and eventually i got a science degree, I watch every rocket launch and know a lot about how and why they function. Unfortunately, it's also dispelled my belief about flying saucers. What do they use for fuel? How do they work? What do they do for consumables like food, water and atmosphere? Don't know and it's never answered in these movies. In reality a spaceship travelling interstellar space would be massive and include some way to recycle food, water and atmosphere. These things are just too small. Still fun movies though.

i have seen this movie many times, first time colorized. not sure if i like it, but it does look ok. why did you upload at 360p? with your re master you should have it at 1080. paul frees voice is the best. columbia made this flick for peanuts, but ray harryhausen did a masterful job with very little bucks. love all the use of stock footage.

He said we had 3 1/2 million men in the United States military, today it’s about a million less.

Man'... I dig the way chicks wore their hair back then...... Yea!!!!! ♥

This is the first movie that I've seen Mr. Hugh Marlowe in, that he wasn't being a bad guy.

awww, so thats where ' people of earth your attention please' comes from

OH - Those pesky flying saucers!

This movie had the sun/meteorological connection pretty good. It's almost prescient.

Finally the mystery solved: Where do they get that sound for electric vehicles? The aliens brought it. 😆

still a better plot than any of the recen doctor whos

It seems to me that beings, capable of transiting between stars, would be able to stop their crafts from crashing into Earths monuments constantly.

The aliens couldn't wreck DC any more than it is.😂

Great movie, scared the grandkids to death.

Hugh Marlowe on his way to Mayberry to record local folk music.

No one lives forever, except on celluloid 🎥 🍿 🛸 My favorite scenes in this SciFi movie is when the evil alien fly saucers make bigger mess out of Washing D.C. then the politicians 🫢

Hugh Marlowe Rules!!!!

"So, let's go to Earth for another joyride." "And freak out the little Earthlings? Love it." "Yeah...you got their mind crazy juice from last time?" "B...bur...borr...Bourbon?" "Sure does improve my flying skills after drinking that!!" "Yeah...let's try that desert site this time." "That place they call Roswell? Sure thing."

I guess Ray wasn’t too fond of Classical columns, given how often he demolished them in his films …

AVERY GOOD MOVIE CALLED EARTH VERSES THE FLYING SAUSERES AND IT'S A GREAT SFI MOVIE 😁

5:15 Yeah, right. As cool as you like seeing a ufo....

It appears these saucer pilots are pretty bad drivers.😁 Still love this movie. Have watched it many times.

I think that flying saucer would have a serious dent in it if he hit that 56 Ford lol

The majors uniform is in style right now. The Army service personnell are wearing them.

Shooting down one if the satellites ". We didn't have satellites till years later????

Did y'all know... 21:15 that Basement Research area, was part of a Water Treatment Plant?

Working and pleasures of Northrup grew man.

"The Color doesn't penetrate!" - here's a Mandela Effect for y'all: I remember this movie being in Black & White! oh my god the glitch in the matrix, help us! 46:57 - clever clever... anyone else catch this?

The birth of early CGI made poor old Ray Harryhausen obsolete.
