Our number 2 is a classic that I bet most of you know references from but maybe you have never actually watched. It is 2001: A space Odyssey. Stanley Kubrick<\/a> was pretty optimistic about where we would be in 2001 in regards to space travel, but disregarding that year, it stays as one of the most iconic movies ever<\/strong> set in space with the signature Kubrick imagery and style present in all of his films.<\/p>\n

Stanley Kubrick, a revolutionary for the Sci-Fi genre<\/h3>\n

Back in 1968 nobody was expecting it and it left people awestruck and speechless. The film still looks marvelous<\/strong> after almost forty years. Kubrick created one of the most astonishing special effect of the day and nobody could top it.<\/p>\n

The Space Odyssey is not something one can just “go and see”. You must prepare yourself mentally<\/strong>, or you will not understand what is written between the lines. \u201cIt\u201d, in itself, comprises a journey through infinity and beyond which brought me some clarity to the way I see the universe.<\/p>\n

The film revolves around astronaut Dr. Heywood Floyd (played by Keir Dullea) and HAL 9000<\/a> (voiced by Douglas Rain). The film begins with a bunch of apes discovering a black monolith which bestows them with the \u201cability\u201d of intelligence, after that fast-forwarding 4 million years<\/strong> when humans discover another monolith under the lunar surface. I will stop here now, so I won\u2019t spoil the movie for those of you who haven\u2019t seen it yet and IF you haven\u2019t seen it yet, go and watch it NOW.<\/p>\n
