2001: A Space Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick wrote, directed, and produced this 1968 classic, which is based on a short story by revered science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke. Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and his team of fellows astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to act out in increasingly strange ways. 2001: A Space Odyssey's visual effects were far ahead of its time, which is precisely why it took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
