Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Don Siegel, 1956)

7/10
There wasn't much not to like about this one...the "pods" haven't aged so well but the story is still plausible. I loved at the end where the main character is screaming into traffic trying to get people to stop and then he screams "you could be next!" into the camera. Great quasi-breaking-the-fourth-wall moment. I read they tacked on the scenes in the doctor's office that bookend the movie to make the movie more upbeat which is a bummer because it would have been better without them.
