In Reply to: If "Solaris" was so influential ... posted by Rob Doorack on January 02, 2002 at 06:43:00:
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.
