Quatermass and the Pit (1967, Dir. Roy Ward Baker)

Archaeologists dig up a mysterious object in London — and accidentally uncover evidence of an ancient alien influence on humanity.
Part horror, part cosmic speculation, Quatermass and the Pit is pure ’60s British brilliance: eerie, talky, and smarter than its low-budget roots suggest.
It’s Lovecraft meets BBC Science Hour — proof that terror doesn’t need CGI, just ideas too big for comfort.
