Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) Part 3

[Jimbo1]

I was a teen and thought that was an incredible computer. My kids iPod has more to it than that thing.

[mrwho]

I'd never heard of that movie before - the plot is interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I need to find it.

The movie I saw closer to this was Wargames, which, in today's world, probably isn't as fiction as it was the day it was made.

If you cannot find it in a video store, being that it will likely be very hard to find...here is a torrent link...

The movie is a pretty good one. Colossus is a super computer that was built to automate the defence network of the US. It soon communicates with its Russian counterpart and the two computers decide arbitrarily to join together and force peace upon the world. Any nation that does not comply will face an annihilation (read nuclear) response from the computers in a totalitarian kind of way.

An old classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still




And another movie quite ahead of its time, The Forbidden Planet. Staring a very young Leslie Nielson and "Robbie" the Robot...

[Stirton.M]

And of course, my all time favourite....AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON

*WARNING: Might tickle your funny bone*
