Forbidden Planet
Probably the
coolest of the cool sci-fi movie of the fifties. Some say it was
the 
forerunner of Star
Trek. It was certainly as good as some of the early Star Trek
episodes. A neat flying saucer full of astronauts, led by Leslie
Nielson (pre comedy era) lands on Altair 4 to find two survivors
of a previous group of space explorers, Professor Morbius and his
daughter, Altaira. Dr. Morbius with the help of Robby the Robot
(his own creation) has created a neat home and doesn't relish the
idea of being rescued. Of course there's a monster! This one
scares you because you can't see it most of the time, and when
you do, it's pretty wild. I'll not say more, just in case you've
forgotten the movie and want to check it out. It's on video,
which doesn't do much for the great Cinemascope photography, but
this 1956 classic is still a lot of fun.
