One of my faves too, though these days I often use it for background music while I'm doing something else because i know it so well (same with 2001.)

Oddly, there was a not-half-bad novelization written for it too, that I managed to borrow from Sheppard-Pratt Library to read.

I failed to recognize Leslie Nielsen in the Police Squad movies as being the male lead in Forbidden Planet. Much later, when I rewatched the movie, I was surprised to see him.
