I am re-watching "A Room With a View." I love this movie. (sigh)

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Of course, now the View is marred by all the cellphone towers....
Sorry, that was my attempt at an uncaffinated joke. Anyway, here's this:
Wired’s Favorite Sci-Fi Flicks of All Time
Sept. 1 is the 107th anniversary of the premiere of what’s probably the world’s first science fiction film, A Trip to the Moon.
(Yes, we know 107 is not a round number. It’s a prime number, which for these purposes, is even better. So, be silent, earthling!)
To mark the occasion, we asked the staffs of Wired.com and its companion magazine, Wired, to tell us their favorite science fiction flicks. We’re not claiming these are the best, or the greatest, or anything else but our favorites.
Here they are, in chronological order, more or less — there’s an outlier at the end of today’s installment, Today we covers anything that’s pre–Star Wars. Tomorrow we’ll show you our faves from Star Wars (1977) up to 2009.
Some of my faves of their faves:
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953)
Yay! But, SciFi?
Zardoz (1974)
Yay! Although I haven't seen it.
Lassie Come Home (1943)
OK, they put that one in as a joke.

Well, it IS atomic.

Yeah. Plus it's set in some alternate reality where doctors sing about the wonders of "undulating undies."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This can only work to Australia's advantage.

They included Buckaroo Banzai and The Hidden. I'm happy.
