Screenrant: 10 50s Sci-Fi Movies That Are Still Mindblowing Today (+ a Couple of Mentioned Movies)

From www.screenrant.com:
"The thing about sci-fi movies is that they tend to age rather quickly. What was great special effects a few years ago quickly loses its luster with the next round of CGI updates. And movies based on theoretical hard science is often disproven soon after the movie is made (if it was, in fact, correct at the time the movie was made).

So in order to endure for nearly 60 years, a sci-fi movie has to have something else: the core of an idea that grabs hold of your brain and won't let go. Here are ten of those movies from the 50s that still have the power to blow your mind."
