I prefer any Star Wars original film. The rebels against The Emporer. A small force of good against the evil empire, anyway enough about the infraction system

I agree with astraboy - a great movie . More accurate with respect to deep space travel than any of the tripe served up by Lucas or his ilk.I thought 2010 was also very good - it is science fiction , but no reason not to get right what we do know as a law of physics.
I hated Star Wars because of the total disregard to Newtonian Laws and every school kid knows "theres no sound in space "

My favourite film too. Apparently it's been transferred to HD now.

2001 lost the Oscar for the best makeup (the Apes at the beginning) to the film Plant of the Apes.

When asked why an unconvincing Dr Zeuss in a chimp suit was better than the opening sequence of 2001 the judges apparently said "what make-up, we thought that they were real"

As a piece of film making this was way, way ahead of its time
