I can think of no other science fiction film that I find so thought provoking. I will also add that I know a lot of people who rate this film at least in their top five. >I thought it was more like a Horror film, a genre for which I >don't really care.

What are your criteria for "best" then? Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!ahutb!leeper
