September 18, 2009Forbidden Planet is by far the most intelligent sci-fi movie made and its impact on modern cinema is vast. It's like the Citizen Cain of sci-fi movies. I always wanted a Robbie Robot growing up.

September 13, 2009For me, this is the quintessential sci-fi film, second only to 2001. It's got everything you'd ever want from a good science fiction classic. There is a menacing alien, ray guns, a space ship, the best robot ever to grace the silver screen (sorry C-3PO), and it's all set...( read more)

The spaceship and robot were used in movies and tv shows for decades after. Love this movie and the special effect of the invisible monster creeped me...( read more)

November 10, 2009The Sphere is eerily similar to this Nielsen classic. Quite innovative for the fifty's and a lot of fun minus the lack of a "true" alien monster.
