  1. Metropolis is certainly a classic. It’s one movie from the silent era still worth watching. See how actors had to convey emotion with much more dramatic facial expressions and bodily gestures, back when you couldn’t hear them speak.

  2. Another one worth mentioning is The Thirteenth Floor , about a company that creates a simulated reality. Then discover that they themselves are part of a simulation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139809/

  3. 9:01 Hang on--nobody starts murdering anybody until Leslie Nielsen and his crew arrive! Prof Walter Pidgeon and daughter Anne Francis were quite happily minding their own business up to that point. How long has it been since you last saw Forbidden Planet , by the way?

  4. There was mention of a “scientific team”. And the mission of the C-57D was to look for survivors and interview them. Morbius mentions that all of the team, except he and his wife, succumbed to some “dark, terrible, incomprehensible force” within a short while of arriving. But that was 20 years earlier. And nobody came to investigate then. So there was no suggestion of any spate of “murders”.

  5. I thought we were talking about “murder”.

  6. What, no mention of The Day The Earth Stood Still ? (The original 1951 version, of course). The first SF movie where the aliens were not the bad guys, and the giant robot turns out to be a cop?
