Rogerzilla nominated 2001 A Space Oddyssey.
I saw the Cinerama version, which was spectacular with a capital F. I've tried to watch it in other formats, but they were disappointing.
Are there any Cinerama cinems left?

I seem to recall that it has the highest number of kills for any film featuring Clint Eastwood.
My Gran took me to the ABC Streatham to see it when it was first released.
