Well, middle aged classics would certainly include the aforementioned 'Forbidden Planet' (1956!!!). Yes, it was 'Tempest' inspired but the film was very mature when compared to it's contemporaries and, even, modern films. I have to say that 'The Illustrated Man' (1968) and 'Colossus, The Forbin Project' (1970) were films that I still have fond memories of.
Other still excellent films, in their middle age would be:
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
The 27th Day (1957)
Aside form those other excellent ones mentioned above!
