Watched Forbidden Planet (1956) last night on BBC 2 HD.
Can see why it's a classic and such an influence on Star Trek. Even if Robby the Robot wasn't so endearing I would still give this a very high score. Considering its from the 1950's the level of technical skill and achievement on display is also extremely impressive, particularly in relation to the visuals (especially the beautifully painted planet background and cool disney-animated sub-conscious beast). Will be sure to put it high on my edited Fav Sci-Fi list.
10/10.
Also watched Midnight Cowboy on Netflix earlier that evening.
9/10.
Incidentally, anyone know thr best blu of FF out there?
