''Invasion of The Body Snatchers'' (1978)

By Crusader1307

 Possibly no film of The mid-1950s has created more fans (and thought provoking ideas), than the 1956 American film ''Invasion of The Body Snatchers''. Made at a time when Science-Fiction was King and the skies were  full of UFO sightings - this movie advanced the terrifying prospect of an alien invasion of Earth (one that made somewhat sense). Set in a small California town, our hero is the local Physician. He starts to notice that seemingly normal people in Town are slowing beginning to change. They are completely devoid of all human emotion and appear to possess a singular hive-like mentality. Other than his small group of friends (one a love interest, of course) - it appears that alien parasites have invaded Earth. Developing in large seed-like pods, they are placed and grow near their victims. While asleep, they duplicate the entirety of their Host. The aliens feel that human emotions are Man's undoing (so they remove all traces). Devoid of this handicap, they assume their role as worker-bee type of robots. Our hero is able to escape this fate (everybody else is taken over with large scale plans by the aliens to take over the planet -  one pod at a time). Authorities thinking him insane, they listen to his fantastic tale as trucks filled with pods make their way across the Country! The film was remade in 1978 (in color), with a far more terrifying (and classic film ending), that is easily a candidate for top scariest moments in Film History.
