[QUOTE="spiney, post: 243105, member: 192438"] Yes JTA, fair enough! I was only mentioning SOME sci fi films, and a few other "significant" ones. Only on free to air, and the choice has got to be personal and idiosyncratic. Tried to make the comments interesting (no point in just duplicating other info sources), and based on actual viewings (though when you reach my age, memory starts failing ....... hang on, what did I just say?). Yes, Triffids! Not the best ever Brit sci fi (despite Freddie Francis directing). Musical star Howard Keel ("the human megaphone") was an odd choice for the cast, and - however good the special effects (or not!), it's always a mistake to show the triffids! Like so many things, works best on radio (the best pictures are on radio!). Or - very radical this! - why not read the book? [/QUOTE]
