2001: A Space Odyssey

I won't even begin to describe how much I adore this film. I read the book again for about the fourth time a few months ago, and in the written form having more detail about the function and purpose of the monoliths and their creators works very well, but in the movie the incomprehensible vastness and wonderous mystery is much more open-ended, and probably for the best. (Although once you know what they were actually going for, it's easy to see how those ideas shape the movie as well.)

Still not sure what exactly prompted me to watch it--I was just laying around bored when I started hearing the monolith music in my head, and then I just had to. lol
