Where Tom Corbett, Captain Video, CMDR Corry and Other Spacemen Still Live

Picture of a Classic Rocketship of the 1950s

Below is a list of classic space travel movies listed by the decades. For this original publication I am including classic space travel movies from the 1950′ and 1960′. I will over time in later publications add additional decades. In later revisions I will update this list to include classic space travel movies produced as early as the first decade in the 1900′s and even movies right up to 2010 and (over time) beyond.

Once I add a decade in this list I believe I have a fairly comprehensive list, but, if you see a movie you know about is missing from the list, please use the comment system to tell me and the other visitors about it. This list is a work in progress because I am constantly finding some new gem I either had forgot about or never new of to begin with.

From my earliest days as a young boy in the 1950′s I was a science fiction fan, correction, I was a science fiction NUT. A lot of the movies below, especially those made outside the USA, are movies I saw many years after they were originally released. Since I was a science fiction NUT I would go out of my way to watch these movies which means that there are very few of these titles that I haven’t seen at one time or another.

The digital age has been a real boon for me. I have subscriptions to NetFlix and Blockbuster which has allowed me a greater access to these classic space travel movies more so than anytime in my life. But that is not all, now that streaming movies from websites such as YouTube.com, Hulu.com and Sling.com are also starting to provide streaming of space travel movies both new and classic.

One last comment, I plan to watch as many of these that are available and provide plot summaries and reviews here on the Spacemen’s Luck website.
