I think I may have seen '2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY' about 30 times by now. Actually, I can lie on a couch and simply play the entire film in my head - I don't even need to hire the disc! The music helps of course, because Kubrick's matching of great classical pieces to tech wizardry and the whole Sentinel/Monolith Ligeti 'Atmospheres' voice of this thing just blows my mind to smithereens. To actually suggest that the Engineer contacts us via a stone block that sings music is a concept that I rather find somewhat compelling
But Arthur C Clarke probably gets equal credit...
