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?

    To The Stars By Hard Ways (1981) might be the most beloved Soviet scifi. The hero ship is a sanitation vessel!

    Road to the Stars (1957) is about trying to rescue stranded cosmonauts.

    Ikarie XB-1 (1963) a Czechoslovak film about Earth's first mission to seek first contact. It pioneers Trek tropes about a spacious, luxurious interstellar vessel with gender equality, and some allege Roddenberry may have seen it during his navy days and taken notes.
