Saw this as a teenager at a drive-in, scared the hell out of me but it had some rack moments.

Great flick! Didn’t stick strictly to the book but still a good movie.

terminated in a quasi-religious ceremony known as “carrousel”

~250 years before it was called “vaccination”.

Yes, and that’s a movie I’ll never forget.
Given a little more time I don’t doubt that it will happen for real
or something just as bad.

That and the one where people in vehicles ran over others. Some were worth more than others. Can’t remember all of it, but I do remember it was terrible and to think it could happen again....OMG!

I saw this for the first time when I was eleven years old. At that time, the plot, action and SFX were what drew me. When I watched it again later in adulthood, the SFX hadn’t aged well but I still appreciated it for other reasons, namely the performances and chemistry of the cast. Nothing like staggering half-cut down the street after closing time with some friends shouting, “Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It’s all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day!”

Don’t forget the filming at the Fort Worth Water Gardens.

One black guy in the entire cast and they painted him silver.

They had a movie of the future called ‘Logan’s Run’. There ain’t no n___ers in it.
