50. Barbarella (1968)
Why We Love It: Euro-trash pioneer Dino de Laurentiis tapped into cinema’s zero-G spot with his groovy adap of Jean-Claude Forest’s adult comic about a space-babe adventurer.
Brash and bra-less, it’s Viagra for a genre that rarely puts the ‘sigh’ in sci-fi.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Best & Worst: Computer Movies
Best: Tron (1982)
It’s a bit rough around the edges now, and the costumes haven’t exactly aged gracefully, but Tron will forever be remembered as a groundbreaking leap for CGI-augmented movies. Jeff Bridges is Flynn, a software engineer who ends up being sucked into the mainframe of evil corporation ENCOM. He has to take on the Master Control Program via a series of challenges in the neon environment. John Lasseter has referred to Tron as a huge influence which allowed many young animators to see the potential of computer animation.
