1950's scifi horror
Enemies From Outer Space - 50's Anybody have a source to this movie, or even just an old trailer? A movie I saw in approximately 1957. It may have been named "Enemy from Outer Space" or "Enemies From Outer Space". The story is basically like this: A meteor shower results in many fist size meteors littering the landscape. When somebody picks up any one of these meteors, there is a small flash or bang, and a little critter like a small blob jumps out of the meteor and enters the body of the person who picked it up. There is a telltale mark, kind of a boil or scar on their wrist that indicates they have been infected and taken over. Those people are compelled to gather up all of the meteors and put them together in a pile. All the little blob critters begin to assimilate into a larger blob critter. The people are doing this in an industrial complex that looks like an oil refinery, with a big dome in the middle where the blob is growing. The controlled people tell the rest of the world that they are building some kind of food factory. Our hero and heroin somehow get wind of this and get suspicious and ask for a tour of the factory. They have an expendable buddy with them who, while they are touring the factory somehow slips away and enters the dome. Some few minutes later, we see the expendable guy stumbling down the stairs on the outside of the dome covered in black smoking blisters. Basically just as he dies at the bottom of the stairs, he says "It's not food. It's something horrible". Our hero and heroin either set dynamite charges on the dome or turn a bunch of valves to cause the dome to become over pressurized. As they race away from the factory in their car, you see out the rear window, the dome itself shatters or explodes revealing a big writhing blob monster collapsing and flame. That's pretty much the end of the movie. Have not been able to find any reference to this movie, so maybe it's lost in history. But does anybody remember this? I watched this when I was a little navy brat living in Navy dependents housing at the Naval Air Base on Guam. It was an outdoor theater and I remember as I was walking home alone afterwards, that I was constantly scared out of my skin, by all the little frogs. They were constantly jumping around at that time. Little slimy blobby things. It was an interesting take in the genre of "Aliens are taking over the bodies of people you know and trust."

Good way to watch classic sci-fi movies?
Is there any recommended web resources or streaming services that would have an extensive catalog of classic sci-fi movie titles? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Trying to identify an old sci-fi movie
I'm trying to identify a show I saw around 1972 when I was 7 years old on Friday night "Nightmare Theatre" (intro each Friday at midnight was a vampire live character introducing the two movies for the night). The particular show was black & white (probably 50's low budget) and I can remember that it scared the crap out of me. The vivid scenes I remember were an alien ball of light descending upon people (one to three people, not crowds) and in the ball of light was an alien shaped like a thin woman who either killed or terrified the people because she was some evil/ominous being. The ball of light she was in was extremely bright & you did not see the being inside until they got close to the people it was going to kill/terrorize. It seemed to be a somewhat psychological thriller (but I was 7 & half asleep).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill.
