That was just a remake.

Planet of the Apes. Not the crappy overrated remake by Burton.

...Which was a modernised version of Shakespeares "The Tempest". I voted for Forbidden Planet too, it's a classic. Robbie The Robot, Leslie Neilsen, can't argue with that.

I guess you didn't see the post I made a few hours before yours. Weird coincidence. A while ago imagined teaching a class on science fiction movies, and tried to come up with a list of what I'd show. Some of the ones above were on it, but I also decided I'd show an MST3K episode as an example of how bad things could be.

Most of these films are in my DVD library. I hear we might see 2-disc special DVD sets of Forbidden Planet and King Kong before the end of the year. If they don't have commentary by Fay Wray for Kong, they might as well not do it.

Actually, "Planet of the Apes" premiered on February 8th, 1968. "2001" premiered two months later on April 2nd, 1968. So there.

Originally posted by bankrupt: I'm a sci-fi fan, but sadly I haven't seen any of these movies. That's pretty pathetic, I better get to seeing some of these. At least I ain't the only one (ish) I must get round to watching Metropolis though, everyone rates it (not including the members of this board) so I'm suprised I haven't bought it yet. I'll have to go with The Time Machine, its still a good film to this day as is The Thing from another World.

"Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!, that was from Planet of the apes silent Bob, snoogins." That clerks TV show/planet of the apes quote in case anyone cared what I voted for.

Metropolis, yes! I thought I was the only one who'd seen that. It was revolutionary for it's time, and it's still pretty phenomenal now. All hail the digitally remastered DVD!
