Scream 2 (1997)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

I wish I could put the experience into words. I wrote a small paragraph about the film after I got home, but to see it in the theater, I checked it off my cinematic bucket list. This was perhaps the scene--along with the stargate sequence, of course--that rocked my world. Jupiter sequence was not the one I had recalled immediately from memory when thinking about 2001, but when I watched the film at the theater, it left me spellbound. What a moment in my life I'll treasure as a sci-fi fan.


You can't really describe it well enough, though. Being in that theater, I was all by myself. I was the only one in the theater. This mall theater in a city near where I live has these classic Wednesday nights and 2001 was the feature when I went and seen it. I was the only one to show up; everyone else's loss.
