Your earliest sci-fi memory...

[night_wrtr]

The movie Krull. It was the most mesmerizing thing I had ever seen. I was in the single digits of age, but still. It was great.

oh yes! i liked that movie too!

My earliest memories would have been the stuff on TV: The Jetsons, Flash Gordon, and a few movies like The Deadly Mantis.

When I was 9, I started reading science fiction anthologies. They consisted of short stories but included authors like Ray Bradbury and Hal Clement.

But as a kid in the 60s, I was just as interested in the real world space race. I loved it.

Probably Men In Black and the Megaman/Megaman X series.

For me, it was Dr Who, Space 1999 and Joe 90

Joe 90 theme tune was amazing.

Alas I do not recall the theme tune just the glasses

 

[Graymalkin]

the theme tune was Barry Gray's surf/r&b inspired masterpiece. He also did the theme for Space 1999, T.Birds and others...
here's the original --

or you can hear its influence on this little known gem --

Yes, the glasses were unforgettable.

Watching "Supercar", "FireballXL5", "Space Patrol" and seeing bits of "Forbidden Planet".

 

[Graymalkin]

Wow. Forbidden Planet. Still beats majority of sci-fi films in a lot of respects. The Krell: a sobering tale.

I just watched Krull. Since I fear being beat up, I'll refrain from commenting.

 

[Graymalkin]

Think it might have been one of the early Quatermass movies, Destination Moon, Battle In Outer Space, something like that. Or those early House of Mystery and Tales Of The Unexpected comics my brother brought home in the late 50s (and which were promptly taken away from us).

Wow ... the golden/silver age of comics. I hunted out the uk 1970s reissues at school and village hall jumblies.

I take it you weren't that impressed? I seem to remember a kind of weak, cheesy feel to Krull. Bernard Breslaw was much better in the Carry on films.

Perhaps if it had at least a little better acting...

Which? Krull or the carry on films?

 

[Cathbad]

I only watched Krull.
