Don, you should pick up a copy of Hero With a Thousand Faces. Great read.

Back to IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, though... it's funny that while the film is heralded as one of the 3-D greats from the '50s (although in many ways, it is), as there are some fatal photography flaws in it. I only recently noticed that the opening shot of the spaceship crashing is in reverse stereo (ie. the left and right eye are switched), while the titles are correct!
I've always noticed that shot doesn't work, but didn't know exactly why - interesting!
Could that kind of thing be fixed digitally today?

I'd also recommend MYTHS TO LIVE BY.
