2001 - A Space Oddity

The opening is fantastic. It is obviously the ODT's ancestors that have split into two faction. If you look closely during one scene there is a Yeti cooler in the background.
 
I thought Kubrick’s “2001”was pretty good.

But other old movies that everybody lauds are boring or over my head.

“Citizen Kane” comes to mind. I turned it off halfway thu.

“On the Waterfront” with Marlon Brando, too.

I’d like to see the few James Dean movies he made before his fatal wreck.
I don’t throw if I’d like them or not.
 
It was a movie way ahead of it's time when it was released. There was nothing to compare it's production value to until Star Wars about a decade later

Pretty awesome movie in 1968 when I was 12 and watching it at the theater. Maybe today, not so much.

I think I was 10 or 11 when I saw it. Back then, it was unlike anything else, and was fascinating and thought provoking. It may not have stood the test of time, but Star Wars is a kiddies cartoon, intellectually, in comparison.
