So far this year I have watched Metropolis and Zardoz for the first time. What are some other must see SciFi movies?

    Forbidden Planet, Logan’s Run, Death Race 2000, The Day the Earth Stood Still, …

    What’s your cutoff for “classic”? Are we talking about the classic film era, or anything older than 25 years?

      All great picks. Forbidden Planet trips me out because young Leslie Nielsen, as a dashing leading man, in a non-comedy role is just wild to see heh. The plot is fun and the effects actually hold up really well for the age.

      Great picks. I’m not too concerned with the timing. Even more recent, soon to be classics, are fair game.
