I'm not so sure about 1984, though. It's an excellent thought-provoking book anchored by an ageless cautionary tale, but I don't recall any film version to write home about. Of course, it's been a long time since I've seen a version of Orwell's book on film and distant memories rarely coincide with contemporary appreciation. BTW, there's another little 50's vintage SF film, The Incredible Shrinking Man, based on a Richard Matheson story, that I would certainly consider worthy of being added to most every SF fan's short list.

LOL! I just re-read that last sentence ...sheeeesh! No puns were intended, ...honest! :o)
