Wow, it had been a while since I have done one of these, hasn't it?

 

Colossus: The Forbin Project

 

Forbin had designed a new super computer, Colossus, which will take over all of our defense systems.  The day Colossus goes live, it spits out an unexpected message:  Soviet Computer Detected.  Initiating Contact.

 

It is a tight, well-written little thriller.  It was made in 1970, and I kept expecting to  see little robots silhouetted at the bottom of the screen, but hang in there.  The plot is well-worth the production values.

That's a classic. I *think* I've seen it before, but it was a long time ago. I enjoyed it if I did :)

I think I saw it years ago. I see Gordon Pinsent played the President - I liked him.

And I see they're planning on remaking it. Hmmm.

*shudders* It's like the precursor to SKynet...SCARY!!!
