A quick glance through the movies of both the 1950s and the 1980s shows some immediate connections. There were nostalgic films from the Eighties like Stand By Me and Back to the Future which harkened back to a time thirty years earlier. There were also direct remakes like The Blob and Invaders from Mars.
Here are the titles of 20 movies from both decades. Some are true science fiction while others are horror movies with a science fiction element. Can you properly label which ones are from the 1950s and which came out 30 years later?
