really? how crappy is it that we have a classic german scifi film and europe doesn't??? weird.
 
Hurray!!! on amazon.uk is available!!! NTSC version but who cares!!!! :D
 
you're welcome... i hope you like it....
i think, for 1962... it's pretty fantastic... great classic scifi ;)
 
well.....I really enjoy old movies like Forbidden Planet. :-D
 
awesome... that's one of my favorite scifi movies ever.... love the 2 disc 50th anniv set ;)
 
Lem's Invincible is based on similar idea as Forbidden Planet is....... desert planet, unknown threat........but far better plot. Invincible is pure science with a little fiction elements.....and no fanatsy at all.....delicious :)
 
far better plot? that's difficult to believe my friend ;)
is tough to be "far better' than shakespeare's "the tempest"....
which is what forbidden planet is an adaptation of....
possibly better... but not "far better". ;)
 
believe me.......... far better....It is best sci fi book I read.....
Dont get me wrong. I love forbidden planet but it's plot is very theatrical......
it is some kind of advantage but failure too....if you know what I mean....
 
some great books are listed in this thread :) One of my all time favorite books is 'This is the Way the World Ends' by James Morrow. A fantastic read

Although you have to admit, God Emperor of Dune is the most bad ass title for a book ever.

Frank Herberts 6 dune books
Greg Bears Eon and Eternity
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Clark Ashton Smith in General .... but i loved The City of the Singing Flame and Murder in the Fourth Dimension and The Uncharted Isle
MP Sheils The Purple Cloud
Abraham Merritts Metal Monster
Carl Sagans Contact
Micheal Chritons Jurrasic Park, Congo and Sphere and Terminal Man
Philip K Dick - Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Flow My tears the policeman Said
