"Forbidden Planet was a landmark film, one that most Trek fans consider to be a prequel of sorts to the show (certainly one of the major inspirations), and one that sci-fi fans hold dear to their hearts as one of the greatest genre movies of the 20th century.

Special effect by Disney pictures but they asked to not be named to save their good name from being attached to a sci fi movie. How times have changed. |

Esactly, in the '50s, and until SW, sci-fi was seen as a sort of "nerds'" ghetto. Luckily times are changed, now imagine modern boys how they'll react to an old western! |

A Sci-Fi classic for sure. |

Always loved it but now the electronic music and background sound can be a bit annoying. But still a very watchable classic. |

As far as I'm concerned you're not a sci-fi fan if you're not a fan of Forbidden Planet. I've met Richard Andersen/Quinn from the movie, but Svengoolie pointed it out a few years ago. You look at the crew and James Best was a background crewman, never noticed him until Svengoolie said something about it. |

"Leslie Nielsen as Captain Kirk?", Shirley you can't be serious? 😀 |

No mention the movie is basically the plot of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". |
