    • Just about to post the same thing. It really is a product of its time, but the message rings just a solid today as it did in the 1970’s. I do miss these quiet, slow-burn Sci-Fi films. Probably why I loved “Moon” so much when it rolled out a few years back.

  1. Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, a cheesy but well-remembered SF flick from 1969 is worth seeing. It’s a decent example of thought-provoking, low-budget SF of the era. And Thunder Road is one of those ones I’ve missed over the years but want to see. Supposedly the poster inspired the Springsteen song.
