The Black Hole 1979

Just the other week i was reminded of this truly brilliant film. I can say with total confidence this was my favourite film when i was young. I think is saw it when i was maybe 7 years old and i still love it. There are massive inconsistencies in it, the zero gravity scenes are more than silly, really just people walking funny with the occasional bit of cable work. I don't care though its a very good film and has some really emotional moments. The score is inspired and at times extremely eerie. Its all most like a sci-fi horror film at times with concepts much darker than any you would expect to see in a Disney film almost a children's version of something like Alien. It certainly has more menace than any of the Star Wars episodes at the time.
