The Alternate Movie Title Game (1950s Sci Fi Edition)

Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a classic movie and ask you to name the actual film. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it!

1. Alien Nuptials.

2. Don't Go to Sleep!

3. When the Elevator Stopped.

4. Escape to Zyra.

5. Hooray for Bacteria!

6. Help Me! Help Me!

7. Infinitesimal.

8. Swimming With Kay.

9. Alien Desert Crash.

10. Don't Water the Rocks.

11. Carrot Creature.

12. Id Monster.

13. They Live in the Storm Drain!

14. Big Grasshoppers.

15. Gertrud (or Gertrude) the Duck.

    1. Very well done, Jerome! I thought a couple of those might prove to be difficult--but not for your movie brain.

    1. And I have to add "Journey to the Center of the Earth" for 15 because that's one of my family's all time favorite movies. "Heeeere, duck."

    1. beachgal, you're on a hot streak with correct answers on 9, 11, and 14. Beginning of the End isn't very well known, so extra kudos for that one!

    1. Well done, Sue, on 4 and 10 (which I thought might be the hardest one). #9 was already answered, but you still get credit for three right answers!

    1. 3 isn't Day the Earth Stood Still, is it? That's the only one I can think of that might be close.

    2. You are correct! And that closes out this game.
