it's a good list of good films.

those films i think would be a study of the eras they came from. i don't know much about the pre-fifties at this point, but maybe in the fifties, there was a feeling of paranoia which resulted in some great sci-fi films of that era.

was it 'the day the earth stood still' a study of paranoia of one's neighbors? a bit like the more current non sci-fi 'arlington road'.

sci-fi captures the imagination of the society in some way at that time. what makes 'invasion of the body snatchers' a 50's film, and matrix a more current film?

would matrix really have been as useful in the 50's?

there's alot to study here.
