*Metropolis (1927)

*Forbidden Planet (1956)

*Serenity (2005)

*The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) (Followed by Patricia Neal Q+A)

*Mad Max (1979)

...they played The Terminator and Starship Troopers too, but when Mad Max finished it was past midnight, and we had to walk back through a bad part of town.
Some really cool flicks...

Now you know why the robot of Forbidden Planet was a huge hit back then.
(I still have the action figure of it somewhere)
