Your top 3 favourite space movies?

[marc4darkskies (Marcus)]

Yeah, I recently watched Forbidden Planet again - it really was ahead of it's time! And Contact - great movie. How could it be anything else written by Carl and with Jodie Foster in it (!!) ... hurley burley, what a girlie!! Wait a second, I think you have to be 50 something to think of her like that ........ dang!!! ...

And ANOTHER thread - who's your favourite Sci Fi Actor (movie or series)!

Hahahaha. Dark Star, what a pearler!

It's not really 'space', but:
Sleeper (Woody Allen)

Even closer to home, I loved the Rob Brydon Series 'Supernova', about an observatory in outback Australia. Two series were made in 2005/06, only twelve episodes all up. Kat Stewart, what a spunk! Been searching for it on DVD with no luck so far....

Cheers,
Jason.

One interesting one I did forget about that should
be really included, is the truly great film ;

Forbidden Planet
(1956)

I cannot now look at the white 1st magnitude star Altair / Alpha Aquila without associating with this movie. Of course, being the leggy actress Anne Francis (legs right up to her neck) playing Altaira 'Alta' Morbius was particularly distracting in the 1950's. Walter Pigeon as her father was brilliant!
