RE: Happy Birthday HAL !
I mostly agree: 2001, Blade Runner and Alien are among my top 10 movies of any kind, ever.

As for rotten tomatoes, while useful for some things, it is hugely biased and you need to consider that before evaluating anything that they list. Though it's not that the age of movie goers has changed so much, it is the age of folks that put ratings into places like rotten tomatoes that causes the bias. Does anyone here spend time entering their opinion about movies?

The true core evil of social media is it has convinced a lot of (mostly younger) people that their opinions matter to other people, so they spend a lot of time sharing them (their opinions). Case in point: a confusingly large number of young folks seem to think Wall-E is a good Sci-Fi movie, when it is really neither (good, nor SciFi), but they still go to rotten tomatoes and vote. That time would be better spent watching better movies....
