Some random thought I had today: What are your favourite ye olde SciFi-shows/movies? Please post! (Also please note for any teenagers, "old" means old, not just "older then me". For example: The 90s were weird, not old. Everything older then the 90s is fine, though!) I start with an old German classic, the 7 episode SciFi-show Raumschiff Orion. It reached record-breaking audience ratings of up to 56% and was axed because the head chief of German television at the time really hated science fiction or something The show aired in 1966 just a couple days after the American start of Star Trek (and six years before Star Trek reached Germany). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJI4J92Btis If you don't mind YouTube or subtitles, here's the first episode.

If we're talking old, Metropolis is an amazing marvel of its time. Made in 1927 with still-impressive special effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Vg5gC8wOo

Holy hell, looks like I vastly overestimated the interest in ScienceFiction on this forum! Welp, obviously this means I have to make some extra effort. Have this for now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzUJJKDa558 Disney's The Black Hole. The strangest movie Disney ever made, from 1979. That film gave me nightmares as a kid, but I still have strong nostalgic feelings about it. It's like someone had stuffed Star Wars, Odyssey 2001 and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea into a blender and mixed everything up. The result is sometimes hilarious and sometimes terrifying.

I've started watching UFO. It's basically X-Com set in the future of the late 60s / early 70s. I also love the model ships they use for special effects. Two of my favorite things so far: The intro The whiskey dispenser

Silent Running Dark Star Westworld Soylent Green The Omega Man I shouldn't have to say anything about these truly iconic flicks. If you haven't seen them, you are culturally deprived. edit: Quark. A short lived TV series about an interstellar garbage scow starring Richard Benjamin, created by Buck Henry. I recall it with some fondness. dee eight has a new favorite as of 09:03 on Oct 30, 2015 |

Logan's run is actually pretty good to watch. Forbidden planet also gets my vote.

Like all Norwegians of a certain age, I was traumatized by the 1978 miniseries Blindpassasjer ("Stowaway"), about a starship on a routine mission where the 5-person crew come to realize that one of them has been murdered and replaced by an artificial impostor. Relatively high-concept, high-paranoia, and the best special effects one may expect from a 1970s production by a state-run TV channel in a small European country with no prior experience in such things.
