I've kind of gotten into the swing of tailoring movie choices with my daughter around the era that she's studying in history. We've dealt with 40s-50s so far, and she's moving into the 60s. So the question becomes, what SF movies from the 60s (that I consider iconic and\/or enjoy a lot) should I impose<\/del> share<\/i> with her to give her a sense of the zeitgeist.<\/i><\/p>\n

Movie ideas I'm leaning towards:
Crack in the World<\/i> [a kitschy SF\/disaster class]
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea<\/i> [the Irwin Allen Walter Pidgeon movie]
Village of the Giants<\/i> [teen JDs grow big and go wild!]
5 Million Years to Earth<\/i> [Quatermass and the Pit]
Planet of the Apes<\/i> [iconic]
Fantastic Voyage<\/i> [spiffy fx, Cold War, plus Raquel Welch]
2001: A Space Odyssey<\/i> [iconic and high concept]<\/p>\n

Of course, in the SF\/Fantasy realm, there are some TV shows that bear some possible sharing:
The Twilight Zone<\/i> [which could take us weeks]
The Outer Limits<\/i> [ditto]
Lost in Space<\/i> [nothing past S.1]
The Avengers<\/i> [arguably SF\/Fantasy]
The Prisoner<\/i> [ditto]<\/p>\n

The obvious TV show, Star Trek,<\/i> we've already gone through.<\/p>\n

So, obviously, there's way more there than can be easily shared in the time frame involved. Indeed, I probably can only manage 2-3 movies, which just kills me. I'm thinking of Apes, 2001,<\/i> and I'm torn on what else might fit in there. Am I missing anything major\/obvious?<\/p>\n

(The 70s and 80s lists are already seriously filling up.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
