Forbidden Planet

FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) - Oct. 12, 2004
Though extremely dated (there's no mistaking it for anything but a movie from the '50s), this is still a really good science fiction movie. About a group of men (led by a very young Leslie Nielsen) who travel to a distant, Earth-like planet and find the sole survivor of a twenty year old expedition (along with his daughter and robot). Aside from being dated, the movie contains some interesting ideas, and some of the special effects hold up surprisingly well. ***
