I've got a friend coming over in a couple days and we decided we were in the mood to watch some old fashioned sci-fi. Or, something newer would work as well. I'd like to find something with a leftist bent, but I'm unsure where to start, or what's out there. I've never been a big movie buff.
Suggestions?
Forbidden Planet is a classic that predates Star Trek and heavily inspired Star Trek. It has excellent production qualities, a very thoughtful premise for its time, and the music pioneers what we call "synth."
