My '70s triple feature... "Colossus: The Forbin Project", "The Andromeda Strain", and "Silent Running"...

Excellent, intelligent film. "The Voice of World Control" scared the hell out of me as a kid. That kind of computer voice is clichéd now, but I had never heard anything as chilling when I was twelve. Ironically, the stuff that made this movie feel authentic in the early 'seventies, like the real computer equipment and that frightening mechanical voice, make it feel dated now.

Colossus: The Forbin Project is an OUTSTANDING movie. It's been one of my favorites for decades. The casting and acting are superb, the sets featuring what were then millions of dollars of state of the art computers from CDC are awesome and the story is solid and fairly realistic. The ending is the best part. So unlike most other movies.

As mentioned, Eric Braeden's former stage name was Hans Gudegast. As Hans Gudegast, he was a very popular TV character actor in the 1960s. He was in several Mission Impossible episodes and played the main German villain in the TV show "The Rat Patrol" about a band of allied commandos in WWII Northern Africa.

One of the best things about Collosus was that it didn't have a lot of futuristic technology. It was all contemporary to the time making it all the more chilling.
-
One of my fav 70’s sci-fi classics. Even more relevant today.
-
The Andromeda Strain is one of my favorite older sci-fi movies. I liked Colossus as well when I saw it as a kid.
-
One of my favorite movies that none of my friends would watch. Being in I.T. for over 40 years and nearing retirement I've seen so many changes in this industry but this theme has never changed and now with A.I. we are getting ever so close to its reality.

Saw the movie. Got the book trilogy for Christmas in high school and read them. Still in my collection

COLOSSUS is one of my comfort sci-fi movies, too, Dan. It's also a favorite of James Cameron's, as he told Eric Braeden when they were filming TITANIC. Mr Braeden said in an interview that while filming, Cameron suddenly said to him one word. "Never!" At first he was upset, thinking that Cameron was criticizing his performance, but Cameron was like, "Have you forgotten your last line from COLOSSUS?" They had a good laugh about it, then.

Back when TV stations were mire independent and leas corporate-owned our local stations played movies on the weekends . This movie was one of the movies I saw on a weekend .

The direction on this movie is terrific, and the sound is trememdous-- the computer's voice, the mechanical sounds, sound effects and the musical soundtrack all work together to provide a huge driving force to the whole film.
-
One of my favourites, what a classic, I’m due to watch it again
-
The final speech from the COLOSSUS computer influenced me into making my college short film.
-
As a lifelong Sfi-Fi movie buff (77 years old), I really love your show. Getting all of these nitpicky trivia details about movies that I've Loved all my life is a real treat. Thank you very much for producing this channel.

You have confirmed something I've thought for a while that without the Forbin Project we would never have had the Terminator movies!
-
Wargames , 2001 a space odyssey, and Colossus have a computer as a leading actor .....
-
Colossus was a favorite movie of mine for decades. I've been wanting to get it into my movie collection for years. Great episode, Dan!
-
I saw "Colossus: The Forbin Project" in movie theaters and thought it is one of the best scifi movies ever. When I saw "The Terminator" I thought Skynet must be the successor to Colossus.🤔😊👍
-
The look of exasperation on Marion Ross's character's face when Forbin rejects her idea for a test program is priceless. One of the many tiny bits of the movie that make it realistic.
