2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
This original 1968 UK Front of House Card captures one of the most suspenseful scenes in cinema: Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) shut themselves inside an EVA pod to discuss in private whether to disconnect HAL 9000, unaware that the computer is watching through the window and reading their lips. It is the moment the film’s quiet battle between man and machine truly begins, and cards like this were made to be displayed in British cinema foyers during the film’s original release.
Directed by Stanley Kubrick and written with Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey was released the year before the Moon landing and changed science fiction forever. Its groundbreaking visual effects won Kubrick the only Academy Award of his career, and HAL, with his calm voice and unblinking red eye, remains one of the most chilling and influential characters ever put on screen.
