Logan's Run
I just plain enjoyed this movie. Yeah there are some pretty dated special effects, but they are still enchanting. Jenny Agutter is gorgeous. And Peter Ustinov is brilliant.
I really just like the story idea. I've still never read the book or seen the TV show, but I am interested now. All of the different areas of this world, the outside with the destroyed remnants of our old world, just all of the different settings were part of what made it so interesting as well.
I hear there is a remake in the works and I actually really don't mind that. I think there's a whole lot that could be done with the movie. And the original movie isn't perfect by any means. I think an updated version could have a lot more or different things to say given the current state of affairs in the world. As long as they can find someone as good as Ustinov for the old man role.
