    Agreed and a whole lot better than any of the Star Wars films, but I would like to put a word in for Tarkovski' 'Solaris'. In fact Kubrick's '2001' isn't as bad as some would have you believe.

    Although a matter of debate as to whether it is a science fiction film or not, I would also like to mention 'L'Annee Dernier A Marienbad'. (Brian Aldiss himself thought it to be one of the best sci-fi films ever made.)

    It's a pretty awful film and a waste of time, though Jenny Agutter is rather cute running around bra-less (as do all the females in the film).

    No - it now looks very dated.

    Andromeda Strain - so-so,

    Omega Man - dated and again so-so,

    Zardoz - too clever for its own good. Sean Connery looks ridiculous running around in a nappy loincloth, only made up for by Charlotte Rampling and all the other women not wearing bras and working in cool conditions!

    Soylent Green - awful, absolutely awful and a complete travesty of the book. (So bad in fact that Ray Bradbury would have nothing to do with the film having read the screenplay based on his book.) Shame to think that the late Edward G. Robinson made his last screen appearance is this abomination of a film.
