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.
