1960's Time Machine...

[Vastator]

Event Horizon.

Mars attacks. They wipe out congress.

I almost forgot to mention "Forbidden Planet" which had the best 1950s special effects ever put on film. Even by today's standards they don't look half bad.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) - IMDb

The birth of Robbie the Robot....

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Or maybe

^ YES!!!!!

Something else.

Dune was by far the best sci-fi space movie of all time. The problem with it was that it attempted to portray a hundred pound novel in a couple of hours, and if you hadn't read the novel a lot of the story went over your head, which is why it was a bust at the box office. The story, the acting, the special effects (for the time when it was produced) were all first rate. Nothing else really comes close.

Sean Young is fucking hot

Agree. I read 5 or 6 of the books and it was indeed epic. I can't help but draw a parallel between the conditions at the time in the "known universe" and the coming of Christ. Even the similar "Sardaukar Terror Troops" to the "Sardinian swordsmen".

Yeah, I remember that. The old captain of the spaceship they were traveling on smoked a pipe like there was no tomorrow. The Liutenant (played by the late Leslie Nielsen) puffed away on cigarettes.
