Earth vs the Flying Saucers (1956)

Newlyweds Russell (Hugh Marlowe) and Carol Marvin (Joan Taylor) work together putting artificial satellites into space for scientific reasons, but each time communication with the rocket is lost. It's gotta be aliens! The US military typically shoot first and ask questions later, putting the entire world in peril.
It has its fair share of corny 1950s dialogue, clichés, pseudoscience, and stock footage, but I'm a big fan of the film, nevertheless. I adore the classic design of the flying saucers and how they're brought to life by Ray Harryhausen.
The only thing that I'm not keen on is the suited alien design, which lacks the childlike wow factor that the better aspects of the FX have.
