This was another studio who was not exactly known in the early days for horror/fantasy films, however, things picked up in the '40 and '50's with the release of some well-known hits..

Lots of great movies from this studio...tough choices, but i went with Day The Earth Stood Still.

For many reasons, but obviously Gort showing the U.S. Military who's REALLY in charge was a great scene:

Klaatu's "field trip" through the capitol comes to mind, as does his final speech at the end:

I went with Hound of the Baskervilles, but I too love their 1950's si-fi very much. I also have a special fondness for The Gorilla!

Invaders from Mars, imo the best scifi/alien movie made ever.
