agreed... love this film, I think it's brilliant.

has anyone seen FutureWorld, the sequel? I've been wanting to see this for a long time...

Yes, I have. I actually saw "Futureworld," which I saw in the theater, before I saw "Westworld," which I saw on television. "Futureworld" is not a bad or a "bad" film, but "Westworld" is the superior film.

Westworld a good film, that's been copied in it's themes and plot many times since, probably seems a bit dated now, the atmosphere and Brynner are what make it work.

Futureworld is a very by the numbers, sci-fi thriller/conspiracy flick you've seen done countless times already. Almost seems like a TV movie due to the look, budget and feel of it; except for some language (and a bird being flipped), starring Peter Fonda while he was still a big box office draw, and the dream sequence with Brynner (which feels tacked on). Wonder how much they paid him and how long it took to do that part?
blah blah stuff blah blah obscure pop culture reference blah blah clever turn of phrase blah blah bad pun blah blah bad link blah blah zzzz.....

Westworld is a movie that is worth watching, what makes it work for me is Yul Brenner's performance as a homicidal robot. One thing I felt about this movie is that in some small way the humans, because of their attitude toward, and treatment of the robots somehow deserve what happens to them.

After all this I was looking through my dvd collection and there gathering dust is a copy of Westworld...  That surely is a sign...

Seems you suffer from DVD'itist to many DVD's to remember what you've got .... I suffer from this too. I'll do a re-organize and discover I've got 2 copies of something and one time 3 or a discovery I have something I didn't know I had.

That's the problem; I'm 23...  If that means it gets worse when I'm older, I'm right royal screwed...

To be fair I have hundreds of movies [the downside to being a cinema studies major at uni] but still...

WESTWORLD is a classic 70's film if you grew up during the time. You have to like it. It was too cool.

You might be dissapointed in A BOY AND HIS DOG.

I liked it, but didn't think it was great.  Of course, I just watched it a few years ago, so the full force of its age was hitting me.

For every Yul Brynner scene, there were other long scenes of characters cavorting in ways I didn't care about.  I know them having a good time at the amusement park was integral to the later destruction, but it didn't make it more entertaining to watch.

I will say that a young James Brolin looks surprisingly like a young Christian Bale.
