I totally agree it's a dividing line, where mainstream sci-fi films became
commonplace, but are you suggesting it's not on topic for this round?

i.e. does "classic sci-fi" necessarily mean Ed Wood or are we allowed to do
something, dare I say it, *Good*? :)

Bear in mind I was born in the mid-seventies so I really don't have a lot of
affection for badly made sci-fi. In fact about the only thing like that which I
genuinely enjoy is Barbarella. Which I am considering doing for this round,
since it is bang on topic, but I'd rather do something that doesn't rely on
character animation.
