I have been looking for titles of films I saw when I was young. This one particular film, from what I can remember had astronauts on a planet doing some exploring and came across what looked like a circular tower that had holes on the sides of it with a ramp spiraling upwards. As they made their way up,what I think was black slime or oil came out of the holes and hampered their progress up. Any ideas?

    when were you young? 1950 or 1999? What language was the film? Black and white or color? Country of origin / viewing?

Maybe a bit of a long shot, since I don't know if you would have watched German movies, but this might be "Der schweigende Stern" (English "First Spaceship on Venus"), a 1960 coproduction between GDR and Poland after Stanislav Lem's "The Astronauts".

This Youtube trailer has the spiralling towers with holes at about 2:25, and astronauts wading through oily stuff.
