2001: A Space Odyssey It's difficult to figure out anything to say about 2001 that hasn't been said before. It's an iconic work by one of the greatest filmmakers, and that alone makes it worth seeing. But there's so much going on that it's also worth watching again if you haven't in a while, in part because the context changes. Pan Am-branded service to a space station at the dawn of this century didn't seem dated or outrageously far-fetched the first time I saw it; it does now. The possibility of some sort of genetic intervention in humanity's past can be thought of as more or less plausible thanks to everything from the Neanderthal genome to the reboot of Battlestar Galactica. Killer AI feels a bit different as we usher in our first autonomous vehicles. It's a movie that doesn't get too stale because many of the themes it tackles remain central to our experience.

28 Days Later A man awakens in the hospital only to discover that most of the world has been overrun by flesh-eating maniacs infected with a zombie virus. With its tense action and all-too-realistic portrayal of how the military might respond to pandemic meltdown, 28 Days Later became an instant horror sci-fi classic. It also helped to restart the zombie genre with its “fast zombie” monsters and focus on urban survivalism.
