Makes techno-nerds proud to be Americans. Jane Fonda and Marcel Marceau, based on the comic, with 8 writers including Terry Southern and director Roger Vadim. Sexy sci-fi parody. Aliens rape virgins. The ultimate UFO movie, not equalled to this day.

Call me a heretic, but I think that the Star Wars trilogy set science fiction films back 50 years, by emphasizing Space Opera as a genre, rather than the scientifically and philosphically deeper material to be found in Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein. Stapledon, et al.
