So, my favorite film. That's tricky since it kind of depends on what mood I'm in, but the most consistent disc I grab when I just want to watch something and have no particular agenda is 1984's sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010: The Year We Make Contact. It's a wonderful little slice of Science Fiction at its purest, with fantastic performances by Roy Schieder, Hellen Mirren, John Lithgow, and Kier Dulea. It's an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name, and is quite faithful to the book. It's also an interesting view into what life was like during the Cold War, as even so visionary a writer as Clarke never foresaw the fall of the Soviet Union. All in all I love this flick, cheesy 80s special effects and all, and I will always own a copy.
