@gemini53.bsky.socialReposted by @classic-film.bsky.social👏👍👽 Nice! I'm happy to see Forbidden Planet getting nominated.
@classic-film.bsky.socialI remember watching it in college before some other movie.
@cinovation.bsky.socialReposted by @classic-film.bsky.socialSome trivia: The 1902 silent film 'A Trip to the Moon' is considered to be the first true science fiction film. But the French director, Georges Méliès, also made a short silent #scifi film called 'Gugusse et l'Automate' ('The Clown and the Automaton') back in 1897.
@moondogrick.bsky.socialReposted by @classic-film.bsky.socialThe brackets for the #ScienceFictionFilms Tournament are set. Should be quite a few fascinating matchups there. I already see a few tough choices I'll need to make (and one movie I love that I won't vote for because it was changed retroactively, edited and given a new expanded title 😁).

@moondogrick.bsky.socialReposted by @classic-film.bsky.socialI had at least one of his football cards when he was playing for the Rams. I also loved him as Mr. Ryan, the history teacher who was about to fail Bill S. Preston, Esquire, and Ted "Theodore" Logan if they couldn't pass their oral final exam.
