ZDan, I've watched 2001 at least three times just because it's such a classic movie. First time I watched it was on LaserDisc, man I loved that machine. It was literally twice the resolution VHS. I had a decent collection that I sold when I sold the discplayer after RCA lost the VHS battle (similar to beta).
I also watched it in Bluray (with some friends) and on DVD. It's actually one of the few movies I've watched 3 times. So, I enjoyed it, but still found it too slow paced, which I guess was the point.
Anyway, my actual alltime favorite movie is Fail Safe, but it's not really scifi, more a war movie.

Captain Snooze as far as this being a highjack, well it's infinitely more on track than "flat earth" stuff!
