What are the best sci-fi movies ever made ? Personally I like most of them ,but I have a love of the old corny ones from the fifties
This island Earth
Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still ( the original starring Michael Rennie ) etc.

Yes that's the one about the faked moonlanding is it not? .Good film ,don't believe in faked moonlandings though I grew up watching them , it was a good film though. The destination was 'Mars' wasn't it? It was. It is also referenced in a later Peter Hyams sci-fi film, "The Sound of Thunder". It's set in the future when dinosaur-hunting trips are being sold by a time-travel company - at the end of every successful trip, the CEO of the company gives a little congratulatory speech to the travellers, saying... Today you stood shoulder to shoulder with Columbus discovering America, Armstrong stepping on the moon, Brubaker landing on Mars. You are true pioneers on the very last frontier: Time."Brubaker" was the name of the unsuspecting leader of the faked mission to Mars in Capricorn One. How's that for a bit of cine-geekery for ya.  |

Correct - he has about three words in the whole film. ;D Elliot Gould good as the archetypal scruffy, alcoholic maverick journo who sniffs out the story too. |

First Planet of the Apes film is an underrated sci fi classic. Probably got the best ending of a film ever.
