As with all of the films in tonight's TCM lineup ( #WhenWorldsCollide and #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers) homages to #AttackOfThe%0FootWoman in future films were numerous and, in some cases, they were subject to remakes.

That’s the end? 🥴 Kind of dry after all that excitement.
Not gonna lie - I was rooting for the flying saucers in this one.

Did every film in the late 1950s end with a "From Here to Eternity" homage?

Harryhausen always delivers no matter the movie.

Yes, hit the saucers with that beam so they do a direct hit on the landmarks.

The U.S. military taking down the aliens is doing more damage to Washington, D.C. than the Brits did during the War of 1812.

There's Mike Johnson's office! #SorryNotSorry

The sound design here is really solid. #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #TCMParty
Some of those scratches will just buff right out, right? Right? #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #TCMParty
They’d better get Cousin Eddie in a plane really quick to take those spaceships down.

Has Carol Marvin (Joan Taylor) done anything productive yet?

Something else I love about this era of sci-fi is the films' run times. 75 to 80 minutes, and you have a complete story.
Action starts early on, and doesn't let up.

Dumping the dad and cop out of the flying spaceship was cold blooded 😂

The saucer effects in #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers are top notch, the music score and the rear projection .... well, they could be better IMO.

For an advanced race, these aliens certainly look uncomfortable galumping about. #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #TCMParty
I'm pretty sure walkway lights were invented by someone who saw

stiff-walking and faceless aliens are kinda creepy

First scientist: Mumbo jumbo disrupt magnetic field argle bargle.
Dr. Marvin: Of course! We'll have to bumble mumble gibberish!

"Let's use some pseudo-science to combat the aliens."
"Great idea! Just like on 'Star Trek'."
#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #TCMParty
Notice, that just before scientific explanations turn into total BS, someone always says "Of Course!!!"
... It's a sci-fi film rule 🤓

“Of course! <Excited, meaningless, unscientific technobabble> it just might work!” #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #tcmparty
SCIENCE!
