1. I love the 1950's scifi movies

Of the ones you listed I'd recommend watching the following:

Them!
Classic scifi film even if there are some major errors in the film lie the policeman who happens to have a machine gun in the trunk of his car and the general who is firing a bazooka (an enlisted man or junior officer would do that) as well as flying a helicopter.

The Thing From Another World
Excellent film. Shows a real relationship between officers and enlisted. Margaret Sheridan, who plays Niki, does a great job holding her own against the male actors. Also, future stars in this movie are James Arness, Leonard Nimoy, Fess Parker, and Clint Eastwood.

When Worlds Collide
Decent telling of the book. I wished the studio followed up with the second book After Worlds Collide.

I'm glad I have each of these movies on DVDs.
