I think the 80's and 90's have already been covered. Except for Flash Gordon....

I have to second Forbidden Planet.

One of my favorites is "Back to the Future". I find something new every time I watch it. For example, in the first part of the movie when he goes to meet Doc at the mall, the sign says "Twin Pine Mall". However when he goes back in time he runs over one of two trees that are standing apart from the rest. Later when Marty comes back and goes to the mall to save Doc, we see its called "Lone Pine Mall" !

Another is "The Last Starfighter". I've always admired the plot in this movie, using a video game to find a good space fighter pilot.

Anyone remember flight of the navigator?

Anyone remember flight of the navigator?

Aye. From a certain persoective that's one of the scariest movies ever made. Kid disappears without a trace. Did somebody kidnap him? Did he run off? Is he dead in a ditch somewhere? Family never finds out, has to move on. Good example of time dilation though.

The Disney Channel used to play that movie nonstop when I was young. Don't think I've seen in in at least 20 years.
