RE: How about one out in left field?

Well, "sci-fi" essentially revolves around the theme that technology threatens man, either because it itself has run amok or some evil people (or aliens) are using it.

For that reason I would submit my favorite, Dr. Strangelove.

Yes, it is set in the cold war, but just 30 years before then it would have been viewed as sci fi and some people have submitted 2001 here, and we already have eclipsed much of the technology shown in that movie, so I think mine is a valid choice.

There has never been a wittier, better cast, more cutting and delicious movie ever made. George C Scott is brilliant. Sellers is sublime. Every line is a gem, from the flouridation of water to rampant sexual innuendo.

"Look Dimitri, I am just as capable of being sorry as you, so don't say you're sorrier than me. Of course I'm sorry. I'm just calling to tell you something awful has happened, something dreadful, but it's not an unfriendly call.....of course it's not. Listen.... if it was an unfriendly call, you probably wouldn't have even got it..."


It's all about the music...
