In Reply to: Re: The 20 Most Influential Sci-Fi Films of All-Time. posted by Mick Jones on December 31, 2001 at 14:26:12:
... can you cite a few examples of films or even scenes that show a Solaris influence? Regardless of what one thinks of them as films practically every sci fi movie and TV show made in the last 15 or 20 years shows the obvious influence of Alien or Blade Runner or Star Wars or Road Warrior, in visual design if nothing else. Where do I see the impact of Solaris?
Follow Ups:
This is like saying: "I see all soft drinks use sugar and carmel, and none of that fancy grape thing".If you stay with the types of movies that you mentioned, then that is true to "some" extent. But I can assure you that every serious movie director is INTIMATELY familiar with works of Tarkovsky.
Not every popular song is based on bars from the Nineth... does that mean Cole Porter was influential and Beethoven was not?

The point is that Audiohead's list was of the 20 most influential science fiction movies, not the twenty best or twenty most important or twenty favorite science fiction films. I just don't see any evidence of Solaris' alleged influence on other films.
