Resident Evil. Well done.

Has anyone seen "Things To Come". It was great. Youngsters are only interested in computer graphics these days. Things to come is an old, old movie but it had a real backbone for science fiction story. It was made in the forties but if memory serves me right, its set in the future which is actually now!

Sounds interesting. HG Wells.

1936 though? Is it not a bit too retro for movies?

Not sure I 100% agree with you about special effects. A good movie will shine through regardless of the CGI. Avatar for example. Huge amounts of effects but you can put silk pajamas on a pig but it is still a pig.

Things to Come is a product of it's times, wonderful stiff upper lips all round. And when you consider that is the same age as the Flash Gorden serial it's even more impressive. And if you like hard science fiction rather than fantasy it scores big there too.


The book is worth reading as well.


Metropolis is an even older classic from the silent age

It must have been really scary for people who had seen Things To Come to then experience the real thing in 1939.

Highly recommended, plus a brilliant musical score.

Conquest of space, a little known movie made in 1955 about a mission to Mars, not over the top and very realistic, a movie before its time.

BTW, there are three separate pages in Internet Archive for this same movie, Things To Come, and they all list different files (and apparently different formats) without any explanations in regard to those formats (vis-a-vis iPod or PC or whatever). NOT a criticism of your site but rather just pointing out that I've wasted nearly an entire day trying to make an iPod file play on a PC because the page description didn't mention the iPod encoding.


Also one of the worst films ever made

Interesting about V.

ITV showed the whole series in 1984 opposite the Olympics on BBC.
On another website soeone said this was the most memorable 1984 Olypic memory (that and Zola Budd V Mary Slaney).
