> He's a dreadful, wooden actor.
That's the meta-appeal for me. How did this guy get in so many movies? Back in the day, it was the pleasure of people seeing a favorite actor turn up in more things, I am sure.
> Does The Stepford Wives count as sci-fi?
Yes, for sure. What's your thinking on why it wouldn't?
Too much Charlton Heston in the author's list. He's a dreadful, wooden actor.
I love Silent Running.
Does The Stepford Wives count as sci-fi?
Logan's Run was a fabulous film, full of memorable moments and lines.
The Sutherland remake of Body Snatchers is brilliant; Sutherland's alien persona is genuinely scary, and despite his versatility I can't think of anything else he's done that's quite so out-there.
A suburbia where everything's perfect to a definitely creepy extent because the people are secretly robots? Somebody already wrote a novel about that [1] and it was made into a movie multiple times [2] [3].
