PHANTOM FROM SPACE (1953) retro sci-fi movie 

I grew up with "Sci-fi" in the 50's 60's and now in my 70's...I can watch as much and as late as I I want without parents yelling its bed time 😎

Another good one from the 1950's, what a great decade for sci-fi entertainment. For me these lower budget movies are so much better than the mega-million dollar movies that have been playing the over-priced theaters for the last few decades.

Science fiction movies were so great to watch on tv in the late 1950s and early 1960s and then what happens, we get in my view the greatest science fiction tv show of all time The Outer Limits. Star trek was just space soap opera but Limits was so well done , like watching a feature film in one hour.

I love these historical documentaries.

"The Forbidden Planet". Still one of my all time favorite Si-Fi movies!

I never get tired of these old science fiction movies. I think that one of the best things is the b&w film. The imagery and use of shadows at various points during the film are for me great.

Great classic ❤grew up watching theses movies even till this day still watching them 😊

They don’t make movies like this any more. Great fun.

I love watching 50's Sci-Fi films so much more entertaining than the films on the telly

What a delightful blend of early Atomic Age paranoia, Ed Wood plot line, film noir dialog/costumes , and DW Griffith continuity . Great !!!

Okay, not an expert - but the moment a Geiger Counter is that insane, I'm bailing out of that shack and running down to the next county on my courageous and heroic way out of the state.

I can watch films like this and never get tired of watching them

When I was a kid (1000 B.C.) we called these "15 minute monster movies." The creature shows up in the last 15 minutes of the film & boy did we look forward to that reveal. We'd have waited patiently through the first part just to see the bones come through the skin! Loved 'em. You had to.

The super fun-to-watch movies of the 50s and 60s - gotta love it.

Love all the old RDFs. No cell phones. A little bit of “The Invisible Man”. Throw in some Theremin for good measure. A simpler time, for sure. 👏👏

50's science fiction is like a old friend you call every once and a while. When all the technology and microwave generation starts to get to you, watch a 50's science fiction.

The police lieutenant was doing his best Rod Serling imitation in a couple of scenes and he lived to be 96. Not bad for a guy who was puffing them cigs like they were going out of style. The very attractive actress Noreen Nash is still alive and kicking at age 97. Good for her. I guess.

"Do you know where we can get a lead lined box?" "Yeah, I think I've got one out in the car."

No matter how hot the weather suits hats and ties were the manly attire of the day.Movies or not!

I still love old scfi. Thanks.

Nothing like a naked invisible man running around. Also, I always carry around a lead lined box…just in case. This is so funny.

How can you not love the classics :)

LOVE THESE OLD MOVIES AND THE OLD CARS....JUST THE BESTT......

I wish I could be 6 years old again to enjoy this. Every modern sci fi drama is based on this edge of seat fun>

Always remembered this one. I thought I would never see it again. Haven't seen it since 1960s.

OMG One of those old movies with unexpected chuckles here and there. Some of the situations are hilarious, like standing over the disintegrating radioactive suit as they all breath in the fumes! What a hoot! Thanks for posting!

Another golden oldie that I will binge-watch... 👽

Excellent movie! I love the old black and white sci-fi movies. Thanks for sharing.

I’m 76 and have seen all these Si-Fi movies at least 2 or 3 times. The movies cost .50 cents for the whole day on Saturdays including cartoons and serials like Roy Rogers, Buck Rogers and Rocket Man

Thank you so much for posting these classic science fiction films that we have never been able to see before. Much obliged to you

This film was made for a drive-in movie theatre. You wouldn't want to miss it at the Drive-in. I thought I saw Clark kent chasing the Phantom.

Where would fifties sci-fi be without the theremin?

This is an under appreciated gem. Not Top Ten, but enjoyable.

First time watching this movie , these old sci fi movies always fun to watch . Thank you Broken Trout .

Love these old sci-fi movies.

Betty sure looked great in those shorts.

these movies made it possible for a cinematic career without bothering to go to acting school

THANKS FOR POSTING! i love these old movies!

Mrs. Evans is quite the looker☺

1950's B&W TV SCIFI is all I need & want 👍

Yikes! The phantom goes cammando.....no underwear. 29 minute mark. Aw those crazy phantoms, always going for the wild side.

The big, "damatic" final reveal of the alien: a shot of some guy in a silver suit walking on the roof of a building way in the distance - filmmaking doesn't get any better than this! 😛

Thanks again, so can enjoy these great movies all over again!!😅

Mystery Theatre 3000 stuff! - Love it!

I watched all sorts of "B" movies on Saturday nights after the 11 o'clock news and stayed up until 3 AM when they stopped broadcasting. I don't remember ever seeing this one. But it does bring back fond memories of Shock theater.

I love watching these hokey 1950s B movies while blazed at 11 o'clock at night lol

That was a pretty good movie with some very good special effects too.

Very good low budget 1950s movie. I enjoyed it. And, Barbara Randall played by Noreen Nash, was kinda pretty.

Ooh lookie here. They have Clark Kent of Superman running around in this movie looking for the Invisible Space Man.

"I need an ambulance." "Sorry this is a communications vehicle." Haw!

i am 68 but I can tell you this by far is the best science fiction movie I have ever seen bar none.

Holy foxy assistants Batman, Mrs. Randall is FINE ☺. This flick suddenly just got even better.

I always liked this movie. Had it on VHS when I was a kid.

Silly & fun !! very entertaining

Long Live Retro Sci-fi .... thanks for the upload "BT"

Efficient use of Los Angelis' Griffith Park Observatory, and it's Art Deco back drops was a good choice to add dramatic effect. No expense was spared for special effects and prop budgets.... Classic...with obligatory cop banter and dames in danger. And a lethal rad dose for the entire cast and crew...enjoy the ride!!!

I like that hula hoop radar on that woody really high tech lol

Wow! Theramins were around in 1953 as well! And in the 1950's radiation was the big scary thing. While nonstop cigarette smoking was not scary at all... The amount of cig smoking in this flick is scary indeed. Most Sci-Fi flicks of this era were just as horrible as this one, with only a few exceptions. On the other end of the greatness spectrum, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" runs rings around this one, for example.

Quite a thoughtful film; an alien who apparently meant no harm, only defending itself. Clearly a very low budget but used very effectively.

The car with the directional antenna pointing upwards !

If you like running and barking, you’ll love this film.

All I noticed was how these guys at the car near the beach just threw all their trash on the ground with NO regard to the environment.

I haven,t seen this movie for a long time on TV. An over look type of movie that doesn,t get play at all. But its quite good with the plot. An invisible alien in a space suit runs around the place.

another good watch from broken trout, thanks !

And the dog laments "he actually liked me, bummer"...

The Phantom was acting more like an escaped convict than an outer space alien. When he put that 2x4 against the door to keep the chasers out, I was too done for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Then, they counted to ten before breaking down the door 🚪 🤣. I'm loving this.

Just watched this. On researching the cast I find that Noreen Nash (Barbara Randall) died on the 6th of June aged 99. Amazing what you learn from what went before.

It played out like a crime drama... with a sci-fi adjunct!

Now I can have scotch & cigars with these movies and don’t have to wait for “Shock Theater” on Saturday nights!

Some of these old creakers are quite enjoyable. Some of them aren’t. This one is an are. Thanks for sharing.

I should add this to my next movie night!

Love the title. 😇

Now, you know the meaning of grindhouse films. This is one of them.

He’s dead Jim. The alien hombre died, evaporated, and the Rod Serling wannabe lit a smoke and threw the match where the guy died and vaporized. No love there.

Great movie 🍿! Thank you!

I hope the dog was paid well he did most of the acting ...

Great film, i love it !!

Another great one. Poor space guy couldn't breath. That's a new one.

good stuff keep it rolling

The strangest mystery in this movie that I saw was the antenna on top of the car randomly changing, more than once.

Take a deep breath of that alien scented air!

Yet another great Scin Fi film uploaded by Broken Trout!

I was 11 when this came out but I never saw it then. Interesting movie.

If I had a nickel every time Griffith Observatory was used in a scifi film I'd have a lot of nickels.

This was really good, thank you!

I loved the triangulation equipment they had back then a car with a giant antenna and a degree compass to find aim at the strongest radio signals. It still works the same way as it did then just no fancy cars with hand rotating antenna or radar dishes sticking through their rooves, otherwise same exact principle LMAO. "THERE WAS NO HEAD INSIDE THAT HELMET" Guess that's what makes it a Phantom lol? Oh boy good stuff! 👍 I love it. Thanks for sharing this movie, my father was in his teens around the time this was made and he said he still remembers hearing it first on the radio shows they had then. Then he saw it in the theater as well.

I love this movie and watch whenever I see It. I do like the color version better

old movies are great & the old vibrato sound effect is excellent

I'm imaging Tom, Crow and Mike's banter

The dog is good. Difficult to decide whether it is supposed to be day or night during many of the scenes around the 30 minute mark.

As if news reporters ever hung out with cops and discussed cases...LOL

One of my favorite old syfys💖

That monster runs faster than Jesse Owens ☺

I use to be a fanatic about horror and sci-fi movies but I must have missed this one . never saw( hahaha) an invisible alien. cool. one for the books

Love the 1950s B films....

The poor Alien fellow only came to our planet because he saw a film broadcast into space called " Earth Girls Are Easy ".

One of the best films I ever seen, thank you

Good 1950's Sci-fi. The most horrifying moment, however, was the casual littering at 11:15 & :20!

Actually, it’s not “retro”. It’s just an older movie. A newly made movie being stylistically “older” would be considered “retro”. It IS a good film, though, so you get applause for posting it. Despite many things that can be viewed as ridiculous through today’s lens, this film is actually a solid investigative procedural. It’s good science fiction. 🙂

I love the great space movies with other planets and creature's
