Happy Birthday HAL !

Even if you're old enough to have seen movies in the 60s (and I am, technically, but I think my first not-specifically-for-children was 2001 and in the 70s) it's very hard not to have a bias towards the recent.

FWIW I do highly rate Wall·E - it's certainly science fiction, and it manages profundity, drama, humour and emotion. You wouldn't mistake it for Terminator or Alien but that's not the only kind of SF.

I have a real soft spot for Arrival too - and I don't think it's just because it's recent.

Oh, and would we put Brazil or Twelve Monkeys on the list? I would!
