If the 1950s were The Golden Age Of Sci-Fi, then the remarkable period of
1977-87 could aptly be called The Starcluster Era of Sci-Fi; this ten year
span produced so many high quality films it is simply breathtaking; namely-
1977: "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"; "StarWars"; "The Demon Seed";
1978: "Superman"; 1979: "Alien"; "The Black Hole"; "Battlestar Galactica";
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; 1980: "The Empire Strikes Back"; "Flash
Gordon"; "Altered States"; "Superman II"; 1981: "Scanners"; "Outland";
1982: "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"; "E.T. The Extraterrestrial"; "Tron";
"The Thing"; "Bladerunner"; 1983: "Return Of The Jedi"; "Videodrome";
"Superman III"; "Brainstorm"; 1984: "Night Of The Comet"; "2010"; "Nineteen
Eighty Four"; "StarMan"; "Dreamscape"; "The Terminator"; "Metropolis-1984";
"Star Trek III: The Search For Spock"; 1985: "Cocoon"; "Lifeforce"; 1986:
"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"; "The Fly"; "Aliens"; 1987: "Predator";
"Superman IV".

There is also an 8 year high quality output period I call "The Silver Age
Of Sci-fi;
it includes: 1966: "Fantastic Voyage"; 1968: "2001: A Space Odyssey"; "Planet of the Apes"; 1969: "Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun"; 1970:
"Colossus: The Forbin Project"; 1971: "A Clockwork Orange"; "Silent Running"; "The Omega Man"; "The Andromeda Strain"; "Escape From The Planet
Of The Apes"; 1972: "Solaris"; 1973: "The Fantastic Planet"; "Westworld";
"Soylent Green". - AH
