Forbidden Planet
 
This classic ‘50s sci-fi film involves an expedition from Earth to Altair, 17 light years away, where Commander John Adams (a youthful Leslie Neilsen) and his crew discover how all but two of a planet of scientists perished. Walt Disney’s foray into sci-fi movies predated Star Trek and its modern ilk with groundbreaking special effects and one of the first truly intelligent plots. Also, not forgetting one of the true iconic marvels of robotic design--the unforgettable Robby the Robot.
