I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
The Quatermass Xperiment (1955)
The Amazing Colossal Man (1957)
El Vampiro (1957)
Good Honorable Mention set. Teenage Werewolf isn't a particularly good film (I didn't even think much of it as a teen seeing it the first time), but the hypnosis story is interesting, and it's iconic as first of the 'I was a teenage...". Plus, you have to love Michael Landon. But I don't know that I know of a better film to replace it with. The Killer Shrews is a special film, but not particularly good either. I think Tarantula is a bit better film, and iconic too, but it got the axe. I'm cool with the six we have.
